Threshold of Doubt

"Without considering the efforts as presentable, I experimented with efforts to fully animate myself in a 4 second shot to see what happened stretched into a several minute projection. In viewing one such experiment, I realized that in order to sustain such intensity, I was unconsciously employing a full array of personal resources: from the earth, the gut, from the environment and from heaven above. It felt like the struggle I have with doubt when attempting to make a decision - hence Threshold of Doubt” -Tony Phillips; Filmed on 19th Street in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago.; Shot on Fastax high-speed camera.
