dinosaurs

2013 |12 min | HD

In collaboration with Morgan I. P Fics

Latent in the dinosaur drawings of five year old Morgan is a narrative of power and the monstrous. As an adult Morgan finds his first-grade class assignment, and discovers in it an allegory for his father’s cruelty. Through stories, found, and original footage, Morgan’s memories are woven into images from his childhood.

Press

The strongest selection may be “dinosaurs” ...The term underground film takes an additional meaning in a work that probes the subterranean secrets of its subject's life. Such confessional artwork plays well in any season.
