Thunder/ACRE

An experimental “archival rap film” I shot during my residency at ACRE in Steuben, WI, July 2017. Featuring original music by madam data and lyrics written by me. As the lyrics suggest, the film is meant to conjure the location, people, and dynamics of the ACRE residency — especially the feeling of being isolated yet also together. The film utilizes rotoscope animation, layered ambient noises, and also has a performative call-and-response element that required audience participation during the initial screening.
