Post Card

“POST CARD” is a love letter in black-and-white film. It was shot over a five-year period during which time Beatriz and I made several moves before separating. While living in a studio apartment in Chicago over a year later I began to write letters to her I would never send. The film represents my ongoing effort to come to terms with her loss. I was partly inspired by Jacques Derrida’s book, “Post Card”, in which he presents philosophical reflections as though they took the form of lover letters written on post cards that get lost along the way, expressing the uncertainty of meaning and the blurring of private and public.
