Two sisters try to come to terms with their past, while striving to understand the uncertainty of the present.

Episodes from an Investigation is an essay/narrative film presented as a series of fragments from the lives of numerous cinephiles and radicals living in 21st Century America. The film cuts between three related narratives: a film collective on a journey to find a mysterious film theorist/filmmaker; a couple whose relationship is falling apart as they each work on pieces concerning the cinematic past and the cinematic present; and two cinematic radicals holed up in an unknown location trying to understand how to revolutionize cinema.

In 'Scattered Explorations,' two artists meet at a time of transition, when their old ways of thinking and creating no longer appeal to them, and they are looking for something new, something different, and something revolutionary. They use each other as a form of connection between their previous ways of thinking and doing and what they hope to be their new ways of thinking and doing. 'Scattered Explorations' is about the time between; the analysis of a pending revolution.
