Archive Showcase

Day 36 of 360 videos from my archive. This short video is a deleted scene from my trip to the Philippines film Trying to Be Some Kind of Hero to search for the truth about my missing American grandfather.

I put this video together to show how fast time flies and to introduce myself in the narrative. I kept exploring this “Me Movie” idea in my films Twelve and more recently Birthmark and my live cinema show Chapter Nowhere.

You can catch a glimpse of me here wearing a boy scout uniform. More soon! Enjoy! — LA
