Donigan Cumming   01:16:16
Utilizing a mix of documentary and improvisational styles, the portraits featured in these three videos highlight the often forgotten, the marginal, those on the edge of society.

Emily Breer: Classics Exposed
Emily Breer  1999 00:11:00
These comic pieces seem as off-the-cuff as improvisations, but their humor is built on a critique of celebrity and machismo. The pathos of those nerds who fantasize about their unsung influence is apparent in Moby Richard, which pokes fun at such icons of authority as the museum and the university. Gibbons' rants may be funniest to those who've mastered the pseudo-art of lit-crit, but his loony passion will win over even those who made it through English 101 on Cliff's Notes alone.

Emily Breer: The Phony Trilogy
Emily Breer  1997 00:04:00

The Action Series finds our alienated heroes in desperate attempts to communicate and find a way out of their endless crisis scenarios. The two pieces share a domestic setting, though this is no comfortable home away from home.

 00:28:30
These four short tapes make up The Rescue Series, a Halflifers project that attempts to articulate deep-seated anxieties about the loss of functionality or purpose through a series of spontaneous "crisis re-enactments."
