Chase 2022
Γεια σου! I’ve had this in the pipeline for a while under various versions, but this is the one that completes the film. It’s a portrait I shot over three trips: with my bolex at the cloisters in Manhattan, through the backroads of Greece, and going to Far Rockaway.

Ten Skies 2004
Eleven Skies
On July 1st 2021 I watched this film at Light Industry in Brooklyn, NY. About a month prior I read Ten Skies by Erika Balsom in one day, I had never seen the movie until July 1st. In the following 13 parts I would like to tell you why this is my favorite film of all time, and it’s not even close.
Prologue
I recently read an Antonioni interview where the interviewer described his day up to the…
