About

Breaking down, splitting apart, burning up: a relationship and the film itself. Edited from scrap diary footage shot in 8mm, hand printed as 16mm. PLUMB LINE is a moving and powerful subjective chronicle of the breaking up of a love relationship. The film is a devastating exorcism, as the viewer sees and hears the film approximate the interior memory of the experience. "PLUMB LINE was beautiful, laying everything open even more than FUSES – a very public private film – and as clear as crystal." – David Curtis Exhibition: London Int'l Film Festival; Buffalo Women's Film Festival; Whitney Museum of American Art.
