This Reality

J. Barlow: writer / director / editor

Artist: Lee-Bone Grodsky

This is an experimental piece: a comment on complacency. The late great Lee Grodsky wrote and edited this with me.

Chasing Blue Sky

J. Barlow: writer / director / editor

This is the opening scene of a feature film/TV series I wrote.

Shot on super 16 for an old fashioned look. The score proves “Pink Floyd” really does magically fit with any film scene.

The Window Shopper

J. Barlow: director / editor

(w/ C. Boccaccio)

Artist: Morgan Martin

This is my cut of an experimental piece dedicated to Boccaccio’s father, and my hero, François Truffaut.

PRETTY TWISTED

(Best Short film, Best Director, Best Actress: Oct. 2011)

J. Barlow: writer / director / editor

A pretty grifter (KITTY) meets an ex-convict (SLASH) to negotiate the sale of a powdered substance that retards the aging process. When she attempts to betray him, he slyly turns the tables. But who is really playing who? Produced in association with Happy-Go-Luckey Productions Inc., this film is now being development as a feature.

HELICOPTER GIRL (aka Rapture)

J. Barlow: writer / director / editor

(w/ C. Boccaccio)

This is my cut of a very unusual project. It all started when we met the real live “helicopter girl,” who insisted helicopters were stalking her on a daily basis. We twisted her quirky “story” into a perverse drama, in which a woman’s helicopter fetish unleashes a horrific childhood memory. I can’t tell you what the horrific memory is, exactly, but it involves an evil daddy, a dead mommy and an unthinkable act under a “mirrored” ceiling fan.

Due to budget constraints, the choppers you see were mostly stolen shots or long-lense trick photography. This short is a “Companion piece” to the feature, “Hover Me”. Both films were co-directed by Chantal Boccacio & scored by Mark Boccaccio. (see below).

Hover Me, The Making of Helicopter Girl

J. Barlow: writer / director / editor

(w/ C. Boccaccio)

On “Day One” of the Helicopter Girl shoot (see above short), I whipped out my camera and started documenting the madness behind the scenes. What we captured was so odd and funny, it snowballed into a feature length Comedy Docuprove. (The expression we coined for a hybrid project made of both documentary footage and loosely scripted improvisation).

With no budget for real choppers, we began our long, insane journey of shooting a feature and trying to catch these choppers on camera. Very Bowfinger. We also have a million-dollar stunt in which the girls jump over an air-born helicopter on the back of motorcycles.
