the modern silent film

---

I wish to take you back to an ancient form of storytelling-- 

the magic lantern, the puppet show, the cave wall by torchlight-- 

and make you believe you are still seeing a movie. 

Lively drawings, a few inter titles and haunting music 

can be as compelling as the movies in the multiplex.  

I love the cinema, but the kinographic novel moves on a parallel track:

a cinema of drawings, not of motion pictures:

a new way to tell a story,

a new metaphor for the mind.

It is said my films are like remembered dreams. 

Dream with me in the dark.
