On the last day at a stressful summer internship in NYC, I drew a bouncing ball sequence on a post-it note pad and zoned out and thought a lot about that summer in the city and college in Kentucky. Part flicker film, part diary film, this is a recreation of that office zone out set to the sounds of Pong and 8-bit Ravel.

Squash Stretch Decay

A young jaguar (Valerio) goes on a killing spree when he escapes from his enclosure at a zoo. After he’s caught, sedated, and relocated he makes a video diary for his significant other. Their name is Lula. "I was invited to Valerio's 5th birthday at the Audobon Zoo. He was 3 when he had his day out. The zoo staff made him a cake out of raw meat." - Michael Arcos

Valerio's Day Out

At a local access center, a man returns from a long and mysterious absence to reclaim his television show. The music begins and begins and begins again. Somewhere a fire burns. There are voices in the machines. The lights dim and rise on a "caged beast born of caged beasts." "Shot in 6 and 1/2 days over the course of a year at CAN TV, Chicago's cable access station. Each day we had to be in and out in 3 hours. So, in effect, this feature was filmed in approx 20 total hours. Majority of the picture edit was done in real-time using a 6-camera video switcher. All the effects and compositing were also done live in the system and not in post. Lastly, the suit worn by lead actor Kenny Reed was his wedding suit." - Tommy Heffron
