About Me:An under-appreciated, under-loved housewife decides to move out... or rather, in... to her own pantry. In a war of wills, her husband and son must come to terms with this housewife's unorthodox decision.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT

When I first heard about Earnest's script, Secession, I thought it would be a great short. It is the story of an American civil war. But unlike our war between the states, this movie's battlefield is the home, its dividing line, the pantry door.

Its a surreal story that seems a lot more real than a lot of the news coverage Americans see today.

I liked Earnest's script because it tells the story of a family angry and ready to go to war. But instead of launching smart bombs overseas, Mrs. Harley decides to fight the people who have hurt her most, her own family.

This was a fun project to work on, from building a pantry out of bookcases to watching these talented actors transform sheets of paper into an enjoyable film. I hope you like it.


Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who understands what I've been going through all these years. Also, anyone who happens to come to see Secession at one of its screenings.

the funeral music is easy - it's one of my favorites, and as i will be dead, i want everyone to suffer...just for a while. and why not at my funeral...it will be closed casket, unless i get myself stuffed....then i'll have a friend seat me in different locations around the place. during the piece i'll be popping out with all of the really emotional moments. i hope you'll attend!
