German-Houston Expressionism
Here's another one from the Fredricksburg vault: Ein Box, a faux German expressionist film shot by two kids in Houston. This is super-8 film that my friend Todd Redilla and I shot sometime in 1993, I think. We both taken a film history class by then and so we saw The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which is usually held up as the epitome of German expressionist cinema. We wanted to do something reminiscent of that kind of movie. I don't think we really succeeded, but we did make something slow and repetitive and weird.
