The Long Winter (1998)
My first film.
Shot on Super8 B&W film in sequence (no editing). The camera was a Yashica:
I wanted to make a horror movie with a beginning, middle and an end. We had a costume … and a giant turkey leg.
The soundtrack came from a cassette we found in the barn in which the first shot takes place. When I would screen the film for my friends back then, I would have to drag out the projector and press play on a tape deck when the movie started. My how the times have changed.
It was in this barn, two years later in the year 2000, that my band Eureka Farm called it a day.
Later that year, my friend Dave and I composed a thirty minute collection of music entitled “Picturebook” in the barn. It was performed only once - in Moscow Idaho - in conjunction with a slide show of original work/found slides.
