Alex Tyson

An elliptical, layered psychological horror that brings together multiple storylines which intersect in complex ways. Embedded within these narrative threads are topics salient to the documentary/non-fiction field: the afterlives of images of war and their fictional representation; the potential tokenization of subjects, stories, and makers by the industry; and the ethical dilemmas arising from the commercialization of the stock footage market.

This is a feature film that I created in 48 hours, using a single video clip and my voice.

Mountain Fire Personnel is an experimental documentary that explores a wild fire near an evacuated mountain tramway in Southern California. Using amateur footage, internet media and professional camerawork, the film surveys an area occupied by firemen and California State prisoners.

Monitoring the volcanologists, miners, and shopkeepers near the peak of Mount Etna in Sicily, Alex Tyson generates an ever-expanding tableau of the volcano’s natural and manufactured landscape.

3 Minutes in America is an experimental narrative criss-crossing the continental US. The film presents a romance unfolding amid an array of contemporary phenomena including vaccine production, basketball games, a fracking well explosion and illicit communications on a government server.
