    The Amputee

  • Overview

    A double amputee attempts to write a letter while her nurse gets in the way. [The Amputee was produced in order to test two different black and white video stocks for the American Film Institute. There are therefore two different versions of the film, each using the same script but shot on different stocks and differing in other incidental ways in terms of performance, sound design and duration. This is Version 1.]
