The Algebra of Need

An unnamed woman in Buffalo for the weekend to shoot a movie that is never made meets a unnamed man whom she may or may not know from some time before. Unwilling to reveal anything about themselves, or perhaps having forgotten how to communicate at all, they instead recite pieces of classic art house cinema dialogue, fragments from Burroughs and Sartre, and a series of non sequiturs. A homage to 60s French New Wave, European Art-House Cinema and American Underground film - "The Algebra of Need" plays with space and time, continuity and the conventions of film-making and story.
