Written, Directed, & Produced by Ryan Seslow : Michael Perinelli as Professor Universe, Ryan Seslow as The Fragmented Personality : Original Music by Brigitte Boardman

Synopsis: Professor Universe, considered purely brilliant by some, and by others, a raging quack. The professor activates his audience through “technology based interventions.” He claims, “The modern day student will find all of their teachers, and find them well.” He talks us through a seemingly benign series of self identity issues related to one’s own perceptual personality. Short lectures are followed by fragmented art forms that seem to be symbolic, controversial, and indeed overstimulating. Professor Universe declares that the synthesis of these visual and auditory actions create an unconscious formula. The formula itself is known to activate a new level of human awareness and creative potential.

Where it all began, this is the first film to start the narrative series. This film star Michael Perinelli, Jennifer Fantozzi, & Ryan Seslow. The film features original music by Michael Perinelli & Ryan Seslow.

Synopsis: Installation Ongoing is a 54 minute film that examines the comprehension of “ the self” as a dualistic physical entity. Through a variety of fragments, three characters explore their expanded selves. Through the metaphoric uses of visual art forms, music, dialogs, and a verbal narrative the film dictates the potentiality of how vast human beings really are. The film is set and filmed in the NY area, jumping from the crowded city streets to the bay side suburbs of Long Island. The film has no flaws or errors, only a series of ongoing metaphors to activate contextual awareness. Several characters are born through the experimentation of this film.
