I find that as a movie-maker, the best way to celebrate anything is a favorite movie. I made this movie last fall and winter 2013, and I still miss spending time with this character. So Im celebrating the Holidays by posting The Spinster on this page for a month. THE SPINSTER (Release date April 26, 2014) is a performance art/video art single-channel movie about an office worker who lives to draw in the classical style. I used Method acting to develop the character by drawing every day for two months so that I could draw on camera without cues, diagrams or even anatomical models. Except for a few minutes of documentary style footage taken my husband, this is a one-man movie. The movie was shot on first-gen Canon Vixias, except for the street scenes, which were shot on a Flip. THE SPINSTER is obsessed with the Mannerist painter, Jacopo Pontormo. Pontormos Diary is the only thing she has on her IPod. The words seem to put her in a trance.
