"MATCHBOOK OF A HEART" - short film / notes

 "Matchbook of a Heart" is a short horror film produced in Louisville, KY. Set entirely in "Old Louisville" (the largest existing Victorian neighborhood in the USA) the aesthetic approach avoids the rapid edits and music video saturation that dominates many new horror movies. Not that they're bad or lame or anything - we just seem to gravitate towards SLOW creepy things and the "unquiet grave." 

This project has been coming together for several years now(!) and I'm so grateful to all the artists, actors, photographers, writers and humans that have so unselfishly helped bring it to life. I'm gonna get a tear up in my eye if I go on so - a big, big THANK YOU to all involved.

What is it, anyway? 12 minutes give or take... 

The direct inspirations are films like George Romero's tragic, quiet "Martin", David Cronenberg's "The Dead Zone" and Akira Kurosawa's "Stray Dog." 

"Matchbook of a Heart" stars Akiko Aizawa, Leon Ingulsrud and Stephen Webber of the NY based SITI Co. I've worked (as a member of the indie band Rachel's) with this experimental theater group since 2001. Our most recent collaboration was the play "Systems/Layers" - presented at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Champaign-Urbana, in 2005. 

"Matchbook..." also stars Jason Skaggs, a local musician and non-actor. His band, Gold Jacket Club, performed the score for the film. 

We completed the final edit in March of 2008...  and it premiered September 2008.
