In process - feature film and HD video installation
Pasture is an exercise in historical fiction. It’s 2007: Simon, a white, Jewish trans person in New York learns about a civic resistance movement taking place in Potrero, a small town forty-five miles southeast of San Diego, where in 2006 the mercenary warfare and contract security company Blackwater USA announced plans to develop a training facility. Taking a pause from producing queer pornography in New York, Simon comes out to California to participate in and document the demonstrations taking place in October 2007. After the demonstrations, he decides to stay. He develops a relationship with the voice of Round Potrero Valley.
