Anhedonia

This is a still from my grad film Anhedonia. I was still a good consumer then, but I was trying to show how deep depression goes so it got pretty dark. I started sampling more in this film and using audio landscapes instead of just me talking. I also layered the video. My sweet friend Margaret Flood plays the beautiful yet distant girlfriend who shows up and ignores me (just after this frame). She’s a great sport, but every time the cameras roll she gets shy. She and I met in first year and passed notes through art history. She and I laughed at Goya. No really, he did some funny commercial art.
