MILQUETOAST

A film about a white wall, no really...

​​​

Film Festivals:  I only sent this out to a few festivals just because I knew this wouldn't be for everyone—there's way too much reading. Two notable festivals this played at is San Francisco International Shorts Festival and Athens International Film + Video Festival.

​

​Screening Note: I made this because everything I ever made seemed to offend people, no matter how edgy, pleasant or whatever, people were always offended by something, or wanted something a different way. So I made this film. More art therapy, simply trying to work something out, calm my mind, etc. I thought about the most bland thing I could think of making a film about, and that was a white wall, and I brought together a whole cross-section of people to be offended by it. Ironically, at Athens International Film + Video Festival, a woman confronted the former festival director and true champion of experimental film and my mentor, Ruth Bradley, and screamed at her, "How dare you screen that film Milquetoast!" Ruth loved the lil' run in and said to me after, "Well, you got a reaction. That's good."
