Truman has been making promotional videos for a variety of companies for six years while also working on Narratives outside of work. His projects have been selected by the Webisode Film Festival and the Lift-Off Network, Mozi Motion, and the Austin Spotlight Festival. One of his P.S.A.s was awarded a proclamation from the mayor and aired multiple times on local television. As A recent graduate from SCAD, he is now moving to LA to continue his film career.
This film is an examination of the expected structures of a documentary. The goal of the film is to participate effectively within the constraints of a documentary, while also providing as little information as possible. The film looks like a documentary, however, it is anything but.
The pacing and repetition create a hypnotic feeling while the lack of clear information causes the viewer to analyze the actions for themselves.
