I do not like commercial art
I do not like it SamIAm
I much prefer it raw and rare

I haven’t been in therapy for 10 years because my therapist had to go back to Louisiana to take care of his father when his mother became unable to take care of him … #writersofinstagram #sylviatoystlouis

A rough cut of my movie, MOTHER, about 3 middle-aged, high-functioning mentally ill housemates, which I made in my livingroom. I spent 17 years as a solo performer, which provided me roots for developing script, character and production design using performance art and Method Acting techniques.

I make Arthouse movies in my livingroom. I spent 17 years as a solo theater performer/playwright. That provided me roots for developing script, character and production design using performance art and Method Acting techniques. My movies are rehearsed and produced with continuity.

I am a self-taught filmmaker except for a foundation in basic technique and professionalism that I learned from a private tutor; an internship; and a brief career in legal videography.

MOTHER: nonlinear narrative whose characters are high-functioning mentally ill housemates. The story is not autobio, but in 50 years since my first therapist at college, I’ve had diagnoses of Bipolar 1, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, Phobia, Eating Disorder.

My projects have 3 phases: 1) story and character development through acting improvisation; 2) scene rehearsal and production design; 3) production with continuity.
