Peter and the Wolf: A Prokofiev Fantasy
Production Design
A delightful DVD of Prokofiev's universally beloved and popular "musical tale," brought to life by human actors in a fairytale world inhabited by Muppet-like characters. Pop star Sting (The Police) lends his voice to a Sting puppet for the witty, enlightening commentary that guides the viewer through this charming suite.

가든
Production Design
HIV 양성 판정을 받은 데릭 저먼이 가꾸던 던저네스의 정원을 배경으로 한 현대적 예수수난극. 원자력 발전소 근처 황야에 위치한 정원은 게이 커플이 순결한 사랑을 나누는 에덴 동산인 동시에 십자가의 수난을 짊어져야 하는 겟세마네 동산이다. 게이 주인공을 예수와 동일시한 정치적인 급진성 속에 푸르름, 하늘, 선명한 꽃이 아름답게 표현되고 있다. 차가운 죽음에 대한 나직한 탄식이 안타까운 여운을 남기는 한편 어딘가 밝음과 고요함이 깃들어 있는 영화.
Looking for Langston
Art Direction
A black and white, fantasy-like recreation of high-society gay men during the Harlem Renaissance, with archival footage and photographs intercut with a story. A wake is going on, with mourners gathered around a coffin. Downstairs is an elegant bar where tuxedoed men dance and talk. One of them has a dream in which he comes upon Beauty, who seems to reject him, although when he awakes, Beauty is sleeping beside him. His story and his visits to the jazz and dance club are framed by voices reading from the poetry and essays of Hughes and others. The text is rarely explicit, but the freedom of gay Black men in the 1920s in Harlem is suggested and celebrated visually.

Dreaming Rivers
Art Direction
A bittersweet and nostalgic short drama illustrating the spirit of modern families touched by the experience of migration. Miss T., from the Caribbean, lives alone in her one-room apartment, her children and husband having left her to pursue new dreams. When she dies her family and friends gather at her wake. The tapestry of words that interweave the drama convey the fragments of a life lived, but only partly remembered.
