Memory itself, lost love printed on celluloid...

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
In a way "Passion" can be characterized as a
found film. In 2001 I was commissioned by the
Northwest Film Forum to produce "The Barn," a
trailer for Seattle's Grand Illusion Cinema.
In the final cut, we ended up using very little of
the trailer's film-within-the-film. I found
myself unable to let go of the scenes we shot, which
were sensuous in a way that evoked the European
cinema of the 1960s. So I crafted "Passion"
from this left-over footage, adding on-set still and
video images, including Jessica Kennan's audition
for the film.
