"...uncomfortable
and cathartic, not unlike the
feeling of
gazing up a car crash:
a difficult sight
to behold, but also
too intriguing not to look at
and
there is also
the hidden
sensation of knowing the heavy
damage belongs to
someone else;
an excellent short film." (4 stars out of five) PHIL

director's
notes
an excerpt (not a trailer)
With
no script, we improvised the action
and
dialogue
within the parameters of two types
of love: friendship
and lust.
We discovered
unexpected parallels in the
separate
lives
of
two different artist couples.
Best
pals PAULA & OTTO (Susan Schramm
and Dana
Bergeman)
are peas in a pod, compatible in
love
and their work as
successful nature photographers.
Their pictures
hang
in
an art
gallery until the
art
dealer
(Jean Mazzei)
calls
and drops them.
MAX & CLIO (Paul D'Addario
and Carla Negri) are
madly
in love, mad about each other and mad
at
each
other.
They
inspire each other's
obsessions.
She must
draw
him;
he must
have
her.
Theirs
is a love of... exquisite annoyance.
