VACUUM / VIMEO STAFF PICK / FLAUNT MAGAZINE
Thanks Vimeo & Flaunt Magazine for the VACUUM love :)
VACUUM
I made a satire about Los Angeles as a…VACUUM. A few years ago, I went to an art show at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, I was drawn to this one particular painting called “Birds of Paradise” By Carl Dobsky. This painting told a narrative, it was almost historical in a way but it wasn’t ancient history. It was contemporary and presented a crowd of elegantly dressed rich white people drinking and doing drugs at a fancy pool party, totally unaware of the fire raging in the hills behind them. It was like Emperor Nero who played his fiddle while Rome burned. A few days later, I wrote this crazy little short film and appropriately called it, VACUUM. It’s a little bit ‘LESS THAN ZERO” and a little bit “HANSEL AND GRETEL” :)
