Regret

(2010)


Life challenges a young man to fight a difficult battle - with himself.

I began filming Regret in 2008. It has taken a long time to complete. What you see here is the result of an experimentation with various motion picture formats, including Super 8mm and 16mm film, digital 35mm still photographs, Standard Definition digital video, and 720P and 1080P High Definition video. It represents a less conventional, essay-style approach to storytelling, inspired in part by Chris Marker's La Jetée and Alain Resnais's Nuit et Brouillard. I think of it as an illustrated tale, taken from everyday life.
