Southern Vermont Experimental Film Project 2020 - 2021

Hi There,

Consider this page an invitation to be a part of my southern Vermont 2020-21 experimental film project. On every level, I would like to transform our challenging year into something a little less lonely, perhaps more revealing.

I would like to know about you. What are your talents, your side interests, perhaps the locations you love?  I am looking to find actors, performance artists, craftspeople, athletes, workers, teams and groups who could imagine themselves inside of a film. I’m happy to be filming with hunters, basket weavers, doctors and farmers. Everyone from children to adults. From newish Vermonters like me to people long storied in the land. From show-offs to quiet people diligently doing what they love.

I have written approximately 50 scenes, actions and provocations. Making experimental work, bringing people and life together is a kind of puzzle - and I like the process of mixing and matching. Each scene can be rehearsed on zoom and shot on location within limitations of Covid. Some scenes will have a narrative feel, and others will veer toward documentary or even landscape photography - which is why I am looking to work with all different kinds of people. Together, the scenes will combine into a feature-length experimental film.

And I am also interested in meeting any sound recordists, sound designers, grip, electrics, makeup artists, set designers hiding in our mountain, hills and valleys.

Introduce yourself with a message, a photo, and perhaps a short self-taped video - and send to: mkvt2021@gmail.com - thanks for reading!
