"People, objects, and homes become more than one thing at once: part experience, part reconstruction, part invention. They belong to a geography that is always shifting."

Dancer and filmmaker Mary Trunk's (@marytrunk) Los Angeles home burned down in 2025. She explores the loss of place in her project "Geography of Memory." Read more of her story on stanceondance.com.

Excited to host John Saade (Executive Producer at Amazon) at the studio today! Loved hearing the story of his first two weeks in LA, getting a job at Dick Clark Productions, being handed a Thomas Guide and the keys to a motor home which he then drove throughout the city for the production. 🛣️

Life Raft and more will screen March 7. Tickets: https://www.takeyourmedicineandsmile.com/
“Life Raft” is a short experimental video that weaves together a collage of archival footage — a young girl swimming, window washers suspended outside towering buildings, bustling city streets seen from their perspective, a burning building, and a montage of fragmented objects, among others. The film explores how observation intertwines with memory.
