Liner Notes:

A couple months before I started working on Uso Justo I had told my friends I was going to make a foreign film. I had no idea what I meant at the time. It’s really just something you say, just to keep the ball rolling a little. See where that leads the conversation. Like when I tell people I work at a used furniture factory.

Twenty years I’ve been making experimental films with titles like Surrendering Innuendoes, Step Off a Ten Foot Platform With Your Clothes On and Fixated Whereabouts. Lots of scratching and bleaching old 16 millimeter educational films. Printing it all crazy. Some real artsy shit. And not many words.

There’s a lot of words going on in Uso Justo. I had no idea where I was heading when I started indiscriminately writing subtitles over an operating room scene. It didn’t make the final cut but the premise was fleshed out in this exercise. Characters in a film, realizing they are characters in a film. Once you start with that idea the thing almost writes itself. Unlike these liner notes.
