“Maverick” is a meta-film. Part lucid dream, part manifesto and part autobiography; the film is an affirmation of the power of film flicker. Embracing the potential of an indeterminate process this Super 8 film has been entirely hand-processed, experimenting with alternative chemical process to achieve unique and unpredictable images. The films visual dialogue implies that these are not “special effects” but rather the mediums main mode of expression. Less about interpreting images and more about capturing them, Maverick traverses time in the medium of light to construct a particularly analog view of the world mediated by the mechanical eye.
