No synopsis available yet.

Centered around the post-grad life of young painter Duncan Stinson as he travels from New York to study at Städelschule in Frankfurt, Lebenswirklichkeit’s narrative “progresses through a series of nepotistic gestures in order to collapse the distinction between artistic private life and social positioning.”

No available description.

A virtual love story set in Vancouver, New York, and the dying world of a massively multiplayer online role playing game.

All galaxies appear to be moving away from each other. Over large distances, the further an object moves away from any given vantage point, the more the light waves emanating from it are stretched out before they reach it - resulting in lower and lower frequencies as it continues along its course. Within the spectrum of visible light, red light possesses the lowest frequency, meaning the further into the distance an object strays, the redder it appears from our slice of space and time.

From this world to the next

A shot-for-shot in-camera recreation of an iPhone movie. Filmed over the course of 1 day from sunup to sundown. Constraint: Each individual shot in the iPhone cut (filmed and edited one month prior) was timed and each location mapped. Because the film was edited sequentially in-camera, physical movement through space was required in mimicking the cuts of the digital version - an unfolding of montage in real environments. The iPhone movie was constructed so as to form a map, the 16mm film is the traversing of the points plotted. Periodic shots of empty skies mark the passage of time through color. The film’s digital counterpart has been deleted.

A collaboration with computer musician James Emrick

I feel that in many ways images comprise me, in talking to a friend about making a top 10 films list I jested: “this is who I am” - in all honesty a bit of this is true.

Collaboration with ambient musician Etelin (Alex Cobb)

The latest installment in filmmaker Isaac Goes's series of journal films combining iPhone footage and sounds with images from movies. A diary penned with cinema.

Associations, notes, some penned with the camera (not always my own), some taken only because they stuck to me in some way. A diaristic essay or an attempt to cinematically record some highlights from my perpetual dialogue with cinema — In pursuit of resolving the divergences and lapses between environments, both those lived-in and those on-screen.
