This experimental film is my interpretation of the poem “Sociology,” by James Galvin (shown below). The music is Ron Drotos’s cover of “Revolution 9” on piano, used with permission.

“Sociology” by James Galvin
“A small white
Envelope appeared under the door
And it was the beginning of the world.
No one opened it
Which brings us to the present.
A fly hits the windowscreen
Like a distant pistol shot.
We fall asleep
And the story being read us
Keeps going,
About an otherwise young man
Who turns suddenly white
While buying an orange on the street.
Paradise of ashes, fragrant nights,
The sun doesn’t know what time it is
Or up from down.
Don’t cry,
In the story it is nice out
And they eat some soup.
Under the door
A small white envelope appears
And they open it."

To explore my creativity is to discover who I am as an individual.
