Alice, unhappy with her prim, proper existence in Victorian England, travels through time into an age that allegorically resembles our own. There, she encounters elitist tea-partiers, rapping flowers, and a philosopher cat, before she is consumed by an assaulting music video. Her only hope for understanding this foreign world of spectacle is to somehow find Guy Debord.
Current Projects: Where is the Sun, Will You Marry Me?
Where is the Sun is a portrait of Dr. Sidney Correll, an American missionary and filmmaker, who worked across to the world from the 1930’s to the 1980’s. During this time he founded the United World Mission, now one of the largest Christian missionary organizations in the world. With a 16mm camera, he documented the progress of the Missions from Cuba, Africa, India, to the Philippines with the intent of creating promotional films that would raise money in the United States for future Mission endeavors. In the creation of these films, what he documented was a world amidst change.
