Auto portrait / Self Portrait Post Partum
Auto Portrait/Self Portrait Post Partum is a first person autobiographical experimental film exploring the ramifications of the devastating breakup of a romantic relationship. A triptych of self-portraits — entire camera rolls, each subjected to different methods of intervention with the celluloid itself — are intercut with short excerpts of altered footage from a B movie trailer and punctuated by quotes reflecting on romantic love viscerally scratched into the filmstrip.
