For as long as I can remember, I have always lived with the disruption of language intertwined with my learning disability. “Phonetic Philmmaking”, a 20 minute experimental Super 8 film, satirizes normative language conventions and transforms them into a new visual vernacular linking metaphorical and literal meanings within the verbs, nouns and pictures. Shot in Toronto and New York City, it features an original soundtrack by Daniel Brlas. With the help of Cullen Ritchie, elements of the footage were purposely distressed to emphasize textual illegibility. This film explains my world – if only I can find the right word.
