patience

"Flick" was a conversation. An idea, articulated over a glass of wine and some cigarettes in the bohemian apartment of my artistic mentor, Roy, downtown Valley Junction, Summer, 2001.

Based on a concept developed by Roy and his cronies in the early 90's that was left, ahem, undeveloped, the concept of using a lighter as a vehicle for movement through a film seemed a worthwhile concept to explore.... but once you have a lighter, then what?

A female, magical in nature, appeared. A young human acting as a thread for a story of serendipitous nature, transforming communication and exposing the unique loneliness of our species.

I open this website as a glimpse into this process, and the previous development therein. Notes on napkins, journal entries, conversations, stories told, quotes read-- all these factors adding up into a magnificient equation-- one resulting from patience, imagination and faith in the process.

So... did you get it?
