"Drip" was created for the January 2007 Wis-Kino showing in Madison, Wisconsin. The theme for the month was 'drip'. The concept for "Drip" hit me immediately (I knew what I wanted to do on the drive home) but it took quite a bit of planning to achieve the finished film.

This project was the first film I was able to create for myself using my new Canon XL-HD camera. Even though I had the camera for a few months I was too busy to use it because I was in the midst of editing Paul Rienhard's "Damaged".

Because of my interest in circular stories (where the story ends back at the beginning) I already had the beginning and the end of the film conceptualized. I threw the idea at a few of my Art students and one gave me the idea for the dominoes! Perhaps the most obvious choice in my Rube Goldberg-esk short film and I can't even take credit for it!

Admittedly, the shot of the cat isn't the strongest but in my defense the darn kitty wasn't all that interested in participating and each time it reached the end of the string... it laid down! The film has been showcased in many festivals so far.
