Lazarus Melon, everyoneâs favorite television chef, is plagued with a constant need to better himself. Everyone in the world will tell Laz heâs the best. Heâs funny, charismatic, and he makes the most phenomenal carrot cake. Like Lazarus, we each surround ourselves with people who we love and who love us. But in this world of access and excess, where critics don the veil of anonymity, each of us must learn to regard our own critiques. This film serves as a reminder to all of us: Do not take it so hard. Life is filled with itâs little miseries. Each of us, in our own way, must learn to deal with adversity in a mature and adult fashion.

The Missing Piece

The Chaos Theory is simply a theory coined by Edward Lorenz. In this theory, the idea that one seemingly insignificant element of anything can and will have an effect on everything, whether directly or not. In this, there lies the Butterfly Effect. This effect grants the power to cause a hurricane in China to a butterfly flapping its wings in New Mexico. While not immediate, it will happen. In Tentative Procedure, I put this to the test, with every millisecond of film having meaning. Though you may think you see some imagery for single frames at a time, it is the imagery and inaudible bits that exist for only fractions of frames which weigh the heaviest with the mind. What you see and hear, every single day will change every single moment following that stimulus.

Tentative Procedure
