1998:
Blind Light
In the Villa San Michele on the Italian island of Capri, three characters are overwhelmed by a moment of blinding awareness, when the exterior layers of their own identities suddenly fall away. In a unique blending of genres which unmasks the filmmaking process, the three find their emotional lives re-awakened by the mysterious power of the blinding Mediterranean light that floods the villa. Interweaving through the film are the stories of Diana, a photographer on commercial assignment, Swedish author Axel Munthe, creator of the villa, and the filmmaker herself, as narrator of the story.
Starring Emmy-Award winner Edie Falco of "The Sopranos".
1990:
Broken Meat
A trip along the seamy edges of New York City and a voyage through the consciousness of the mad beat poet Alan Granville. BROKEN MEAT captures Alan's New York, stripped of its glittering surface: a strange, deserted place.
