FROWNLAND Director's Statement, 2008

“I was always opposed to giving orientation to an audience before a screening. My face, my voice, my thoughts on the movie: who cares? But I was obligated to make something to precede a run in Canada and landed on this: a re-creation of a public access show I caught on television as a kid composed solely of candid-camera-style footage of people picking a dollar bill off the sidewalk only to discover the bottom side is coated with dog shit. It blew my mind that something so antagonistic could exist for my entertainment.”
