This is a eulogy to lost friends, either by death or disassociation. River Phoenix appears as the archetypal figure of my generation. This film lives in a space of a junkie's death walk, and their final exit from the earth.

Hand-painted 35mm original with optical printing are at the source of this work; with a little help from an electric toothbrush and washing machine. (CVB)
