Short Films
A short (2m36s) film by my fabulous student, Indiana Pehlivanova, who was in the WritersCorps apprentice program I taught 2006-2007.
Indiana authored this entire piece -- she wrote the text, drew the visuals, and sang her own pop-inspired medleys. It's one of the most quirky and addicting films I've ever seen.
Broken Lightswitchers

Somewhere over the chimney tops
by Van Ness and Geary
God is eating his chocolate donuts
Everybody needs someone
someone to beat up in kindergarten
to laugh at their accent
to take pictures of kissing a tree
There's a place in your heart
And I know it's hunger
MMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Oh shoot
I gotta get that Milky Way bar
There's a calm surrender
to the suicidal thoughts
of the living room sofa
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I'm going to execute
a cardboard box
tomorrow
Oh, you better watch out
you better not cry
you better not pal
I'm telling you why
A bull is driving your presents
from the North Pole
Do, a deer
fell off the wall
and broke my neighbor's crown
Re, a drop of Tylenol
could burn down
your handmade house
in one century
I love you, baby
and if it's why
all right
You gotta wash the dishes
baby
Please, please, please
Forgive my mess
I'm grown up sinking battle ships
on pieces of paper
Take, take me home
'cause I don't remember
Did I do my homework, Mr. Javitch?
Or not?
