Panic: Subduing Demons in America N/A

Footage of several wars, news broadcasts, stock footage, surveillance video, commercials, video games, a modified version of the United States Terror Alert system and John Giorno's spoken word performance piece "Subduing Demons In America" are edited together to represent an extreme caricature of the constant visual bombardment an average American citizen receives almost on a daily basis via the media. In a way, the media becomes War Itself, and the numbing, hypnotic result is nothing less than a version of Anthony Burgess' "Ludovico Treatment" from the novel A Clockwork Orange.

Movie Picture

Protection N/A

A hard-working, routine-oriented man has his schedule disrupted by outside forces, so he must take drastic measures in order to return his life to its previous pattern. Shot with multiple DV and Hi-8 cameras, with no dialogue and a minuscule budget, it's a challenging allegory for the extremes that may be taken to preserve normality.
