Fainter Echoes
Fainter Echoes uses an array of 16mm and super-8 film fragments that I shot over several decades. It is built on a single outtake from a traditional documentary (of my grandfather) I made in the 1970s. His voice was recorded in 1976 and my own in 2024.

Good Morning
A lighthearted take on director Yasujiro Ozu’s perennial theme of the challenges of intergenerational relationships, Good Morning tells the story of two young boys who stop speaking in protest after their parents refuse to buy a television set.

Shot in stunning color and set in a suburb of Tokyo where housewives gossip about the neighbors’ new washing machine and unemployed husbands look for work as door-to-door salesmen, this charming comedy refashions Ozu’s own silent classic I Was Born, But . . . to gently satirize consumerism in postwar Japan.
