_{FRENTE A FRENTE}

^{As humans, we constantly build barriers around our vulnerable selves, creating layers of trapped moments and emotions. It’s important to constantly dismantle these layers.

Frente a Frente is an expanded cinema piece created during my residency at the Echo Park Film Center (February-March 2016). I spent two months dissecting a collection of perspectives, desires, choices, and manipulations.

The first film (left) is a mixture of mis-loaded film, double exposures and optical printing. The second film (right) is a replication of the first, reprinted onto new stock via an optical printer. Manipulations in size, speed and exposure were created during the printing process.}
