Boldly Going
LJ Frezza
“Ignoring Star Fleet’s Prime Directive that there can be no interference with the “development of alien life and culture,” Captain James T. Kirk becomes entangled in conflicts spawned by his own interventionist policies.”

“Light Is Waiting” Michael Robinson
Light Is Waiting
Michael Robinson
2007
11:20A very special episode of television’s Full House devours itself from the inside out, excavating a hypnotic nightmare of a culture lost at sea. Tropes of video art and family entertainment face off in a luminous orgy neither can survive.
“[A]n illustration of how a fully formulated sense of aesthetics can be produced from even the most artless of material. Even when you’re lost out there and all alone, light is waiting to carry you home.” – Chris Stults, Wexner Center for the Arts, 2008

These Hammers Don’t Hurt Us
Michael Robinson
2010
12:50Tired of underworld and overworld alike, Isis escorts her favorite son on their final curtain call down the Nile, leaving a neon wake of shattered tombs and sparkling sarcophagi.
“Looking to a future beyond death, Michael Robinson’s These Hammers Don’t Hurt Us, one of the filmmaker’s most sophisticated found footage concoctions yet, combines Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” music video with footage of Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra and roughly a dozen other sources, creating for the late pop star a solemn passage into a bedazzled Egyptian afterlife tenderly ushered by his real-life confidante.” – Genevieve Yue, Reverse Shot, Winter 2010

Hold Me Now

2008
05:00Plagued by blindness, sloth, and devotion, a troubled scene from Little House On The Prairie offers itself up to karaoke exorcism. -MR
“[T]he often ingratiating nostalgia of the long-running drama Little House On The Prairie takes a free fall in an unsettling sequence of agony metamorphosing into Exorcist-like bodily possession. Made for the PDX Film Festival’s ‘Karaoke Throwdown’ and thus featuring another instrumental track of the Thompson Twin’s eponymous song, the longing lyrics absurdly subtitle a slowed-down passage of Melissa Sue Anderson’s character rising upon waking, shaking in convulsions, and smashing a bedroom window with her hands (all while her husband tries in vain to hold her).” – Henriette Huldisch, Aurora: The Infinite Measure, Fall 2008

The Dark, Krystle
Michael Robinson
2013
09:34The cabin is on fire! Krystle can’t stop crying, Alexis won’t stop drinking, and the fabric of existence hangs in the balance, again and again and again.
“The Dark, Krystle brilliantly re-purposes the artificiality of stock gesture, allowing viewers to see its hollowness and to feel it recharging with new emotional power. Equal parts archival fashion show and feminist morality play, Robinson’s montage rekindles the unfinished business of identity, consumption, and excess in 1980s pop culture.” - Carrie Secrist Gallery, Chicago 2014
