Touch Me Karaoke
(2008, 4:00, 16mm to miniDV)

Maybe it's a savvy re-reading of the macho posturing of Mudhoney's indie anthem, but more likely it's just a (hilariously?) literalized metaphor. A shock cinema sex-ed sing-along.

Made for the PDX Film Festival's first Experimental Karaoke program at their 2008 festival.
