Filmes

Black Palms
Director
A moving image of a still image, created by photocopying directly onto transparent 35mm film using the copy machine at work after-hours.
Prairie
Director
A hand painted portrait of a particular place and time. (dedicated to the dogs of midtown)
El Rito
Director
Loss begets loss in the confusing dream of Lot 55, El Rito Estates. The last familiar man paces the parking lot, flush red and middle grey through a cypher of non-negotiation. And the twenty acres are taken. And the money’s gone missing. And the house always wins.
easy to learn hard to forget
Director
A travel diary composed from a series of video vignettes Rhody made while traveling in Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for two months. Shot using a tiny, pocket sized digital camera. "I initially didn't intend to make a video from them or have them shown publicly. I was just making a diary of moments that I found graceful during the frequent downtime that occurs when traveling. My partner, Abigail Smith, created a large collection of field recordings during this same time, some of which were later published under the title "Indochina Soundscraps". And although the two projects stand-alone, I think they compliment each other in attitude and approach - which works well as a metaphor for our relationship."
cicatrix dreaming
Director
A collaborative film composed from a series of degraded 35mm photo slides discovered at an outdoor flea market in Oakland California.
