Earth Stone
1986 37min
I wanted to make a film about an alien wandering around in a field somewhere, observing nature. As he marvels at insects and focuses on wormholes in the leaves, the sun sets and dawn breaks, and then the sun sets and dawn breaks again. There are many familiar things on Earth, but when they get wet from the rain or when we shine a flashlight on them, they seem unusual, like moon rocks. The film is double run Super 8. It's the same width as 16mm film, but after development it's cut in half to make Super 8 film. It's not double 8.
