Camp

Reminiscent of the past and B&W television, this short poetry film contains monochrome hand-drawn pencil drawings in black of Butlins holiday camp in Minehead, U.K that I made whilst on holiday there in 1990 and poetry that I wrote in 2022. Appearing like the O2 ‘dome’ in London, the drawings show the amazing contrast between the modern (the surreal architecture of Butlins) and the past (the mock-tutor cottages including the streetlamp, so reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple).

Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park. Using color footage he shot himself, Proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself. The documentary covers his first year in-country, showing his day-to-day activities and the passing of the seasons as he sought to scratch out a living alone in the wilderness.
