You Are My Face
You Are My Face is an experimental documentary in which film professors choose an important or memorable scene from film history and re-perform the dialogue. Intercut with these performances is a separate thread documenting my lessons with a music teacher who is teaching me to play and sing the Wilco song, “You Are My Face” (Tweedy and Nels, 2007). Finally, a third layer provides an intersubjective dialogue between myself and a friend and colleague who also balances his role as a film professor with his life as a guitarist and musician.
