Stand By for Tape Backup

This is somewhat special as a film.  For this screening only, the writer/director performed this work as an 80-minute monologue, set against the backdrop of a constantly rewound '80s home videocassette.

Ostensibly the story is about the synchronicity of life.  Practically though it's an autobiography through the medium of found footage, a copied over VHS tape from the writer's youth.

Too bad the theater wasn't full - I think it will get a great audience score.  The repeat will be all pre-recorded, so today's version felt like a one-time opportunity to see the creator's passion for his work in first hand.
