Ephemera

Ephemera. Rhode Island School of Design. Providence, R.I.

A live-action 10-minute film dealing with the transient nature of graphic design. 16mm, color, sound, A&B rolls. The life of a poster, from design to production, posting in the street and obsolescence. I wrote, filmed, edited, and cut the negative. Completed as the final thesis project for my Master of Fine Arts degree. Thesis advisors: Mihai Nadin and Douglass Scott. Film advisor: Leslie Thornton, Brown University. Quotes from The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. To view the first two minutes of the film, click the link below.
