Loud Video, DINCA Vision Quest Screening (Chicago). Alas, this rhythmically intense abstract video doesn't look at its best online, but you can watch in on YouTube to get a general idea of what it's about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNtk5sBZucg

Slow Fall

Onion City selects "Loud Video"

I'm thrilled and honored that Loud Video has been selected for the upcoming Onion City Experimental Film Festival in Chicago (June 2012). You can get a taste of what this intense visual experience is like from this upload to my YouTube channel (it didn't work on Vimeo!). But this low-resolution conversion of the original video is really only a hint of what it's really like. The rhythms and flickering are really much more intense.
