Because I Was Standing,
Single Channel Video, Live Score, 2017 
The Northwest Film Forum, Yellow Fish Festival, Seattle, Wa.

A short film in response to the work of author Clarice Lispector attempts to nest notions of foreignness, commoditization, mothering and mother tongue within a dialog-less visual framework which references Lispector’s unconventional use of language to depict non-linear time. The film explores the feminine as intrinsic bridge to both lunar and terrestrial fertility of darkness, phasing through an outline of patriarchal violence & re/su/oppression.


Original score by William Hayes and Maria Scherer Wilson
