Films

Something fascinating and exciting happens when you mix text/voice with moving images and sound. I like the idea that these pieces are not simply films of poems, but something different altogether: a new poetic experience. A whole tiny world glimmering with atmosphere and emotion; so much more than the sum of its parts.
