To the surprise of most, I am an artist. Don't let the math in The Art of Time or the utilitarianism of my politics fool you, I have a serious artistic inclination and, for much of my life, it was manifested through film.


However, like most artists, I don't tend to like watching my own films. I've made about thirty films, on formats ranging from S-VHS or IMAX, and after their initial distribution runs, they are contemned to storage under lock and key. I must that I don't particularly like any of my films, with one exception, which I am happy to share with the world on YouTube.


"The Dream" is a epic visual poem, so to speak. It tells the story of the American civil rights era through visual montage inspired by Sergi Eisenstein. It runs for about eight minutes and was originally mastered on the awesome IMAX format. Much of the colouring was done by hand and numerous pieces of software were developed to achieve visual effects of the film. Mostly, I must say, the lasting legacy of my film career is of technical innovation rather than as a storyteller. "The Dream" is a testament to that technical prowess.
