Dreams and Apparitions of Mark LePore (2007)

On 9112005 Mark Lapore took his own life I first met Mark at SUNY Binghamton in the fall of 1973 when I took my film production class Over the years we became friends and colleagues filmvideo makers and teachers In the aftermath of his death I decided to record unedited monologues by people who knew him from Mass Artrecounting their dreams or apparitions of Mark I used an old black and white Panasonic studio camera similar to one he had been playing around with I wanted a different quality to the image from HD and the Panasonic ghosted the image I had thought it would be a web based work and nonlinear but Erica Beckmans section which we edited according to her instruction changed my planit was a definite ending and a surprise to me I found the piece worked as a projected linear experience I urge you to watch it once that way
