No Downlink (excerpt)

No Downlink (2003, 10 minutes, DV video, stereo)

No Downlink is "a playful re-imagining of his origins as the civilized half of a Siamese pair rudely parted at birth in a bit of impromptu surgery. Still sporting the livid, symbolic wound as a sweet-tempered adult, Thorson plots a half-desired, half-dreaded reunion with his prodigal “wolf boy” twin through deftly calibrated split-screen compositions, his memories – both real and imagined – striated with the plumes of the Challenger space shuttle explosion." —Ioannis Mookas, "Midnight at the Oasis," Senses of Cinema, 2004. 

Music by Nick Hallett and Sara Marcus
