While attending the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington during 1988 I made a short film... It's now posted on the Internet for the world to see.. Enjoy!
All the hiker wants to do is get back to the wilderness. This semi epic tale starts with the hiker waking from a dream and finding himself lost in a city. After overcoming the challenge of locating a place to piss he eventually finds a road and makes his way towards the mountains. It appears as though the hiker is finding his direction but its clear to see somethings not quite right. For no apparent reason he starts tweeking out on contrast overload and is metaphorically and literally cornered. In the climatic ending something short circuits and he vaporizes into a puff of powder.
This film is a mix of experimental, comical, and improvisational techniques. Shot on silent 16mm film with funky old cameras. Music and narration was recorded separately on a Sony stereo cassette tape recorder. Directed and conceptualized by Todd Gilbreath while attending the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington during 1988. Lead character Todd Gilbreath. Filming by Todd Gilbreath, Corwin Bell and John Locke. Music and narration by Todd Gilbreath. Extras, included Tom Ferguson, Jenny Cleason, and Erik Petersen. With special appearance by Zero the dog. All scenes shot in Washington State and Vancouver, Canada.
