Startling Videos 5: Revenge Edition

This is a "fearful" version of a collection of psychic videos that are color-coded by blue, yellow, and red to indicate the level of danger! We see the despair beyond fear in the face of the vengeful spirit before death and the curse after death that surrounds the submitted videos, but for a moment we feel compassion... This is a work like no other that makes the viewer realize the sinful fear that the viewer can become a party = spirit at any time, and that the ghost videos swallow the contributors, those who hate and are hated, and all the staff members who cover the event!

Almost Ghost

I returned to 8mm home movies for this compilation film, shot during the final year of my grandmother's life, and, beginning with footage of her garden. It is a documentary about gradually vanishing equipment collapsing and deteriorating, and also a document of those processes themselves. With the camera picking up details so minute that you can practically smell the pungent odors on the other side of the lens. I continued filming while actually having no idea when the device might reach the end of its life.
