Self Portrait as a PowerPoint Proposal for an Amusement Park Ride 2010

Written and directed by Jonn Herschend, Self Portrait as a PowerPoint Presentation for an Amusement Park Ride is a corporate PowerPoint proposal for a new roller coaster based entirely on an illicit inter-office affair between the presenter and Linda Cole. It includes ideas for a 'Make Your Own Sandwich Shop' and a secret password for having sex in the supply closet. The proposal, which is created entirely in PowerPoint, takes the viewer through the very basic planning stages for the ride but then transitions to actually becoming the ride itself.

Discussion Questions 2014

Discussion Questions is a text based powerpoint presentation that becomes a cathartic dance party. Commissioned for the 2014 Whitney Biennial, this film will be viewed as part of a screening series with many other films. It purports to be a series of discussion questions for these films. However it slowly drifts off topic and morphs into its own film as the unreliable narrator works through his delusional romantic issues with a coworker at the university where he works.
