Trappist Preserves
Synopsis
"The film acts as an epithet for what everyone knows about our meager place in the universe. Succinctly stated in Jack Arnold’s "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (1957) and loosely ad-libbed by me in an inspired Cageian manner via a pompous (but difficult to produce) single-frame optical pan traversing the lofty soliloquy. The toilet paper in the bare autumn tree was encountered early one morning outside the school of the Art Institute of Chicago on Columbus Drive. With eclair and 12-120 zoom in hand, it was a no brainer. The combinations illustrate a mocking attitude that is much in line with most Hollywood expressionism, lofty ideals via a crass medium."
