Productions shots from the making of NOW, A Video Art Ritual from 2018

The production of NOW involved two days shooting in my original homeland, the Santa Monica mountains in L.A., on a large sandstone rock overlooking the vast Pacific. Then we had one day of shooting at a recently burned forested area of Nevada City, CA my second homeland. Next each of my two characters had a day of shooting at my collaborator John Sanborn’s studio, in Emeryville in the East Bay. This production gave me had the largest crew I’d ever worked with (usually I’m a crew of 1, lol) with John Sanborn and his assistant, and our amazing production photographer and techie everything Roger Jones, and boom girl, plus my dear friend the talented make-up artist Wendy of Gypse Couture, and my assistant. The uber pro shots below are by Roger Jones, the rest by several of the team. We did good work. NOW, A Video Art Ritual the resultant 10 screen, large scale performance video installation and audience participatory ritual, debuted at SF Camerawork and wow’d, inspired, empowered, enlightened, entertained and cracked up audiences for its 2 its month run.
