GINGER SMITH & BILLY GEE
TRT: 15:36
Experimental, Narrative
Ginger Smith & Billy Gee, all shot in green screen, turns its focus cinematically on the relationship developing between Ginger, a painter, and Billy, an aspiring writer, after Ginger is dumped by Billy’s best friend. With interspersed dreams of the main character Ginger, The Narrator guides the story; Hiker 1 and Hiker 2 are like figures in a Greek Chorus commenting on the action and entering and leaving the story line, and Male and Female add a Freudian coda to the proceedings. All the settings are derived from paintings by the author, and the film script is adapted from the graphic novel of the same name.
