FIAT EMPIRE was one of the first films to come out on the Federal Reserve System providing a valuable primer on a complex subject. This 60-minute documentary explores why some feel the "Fed" is a "bunch of organized crooks" (as John Adams put it) and others feel some of its practices "are in violation of the U.S. Constitution." Discover why experts agree the Fed is a banking cartel that benefits mainly bankers, their clients in need of "easy money" and bailouts, and a Congress that would rather go deeper in debt than seek funding from its constituents. Long-term studies indicate the Federal Reserve System encourages war, destabilizes the economy (by causing boom and bust cycles), generates inflation (a hidden tax) and is the supreme instrument of unjust enrichment for a select group of insiders. If you are fed up with an ever-expanding state and corporations that are "too-big-to-fail," look no farther than the fiat currency printed by the Federal Reserve System.

"This piece, with the generic title Film, is a series of short videos built around one protocol: a snippet of news from a newspaper of the day, is rolled up and then placed on a black-inked surface. On making contact with the liquid, the roll opens and of Its own accord frees itself of the gesture that fashioned it. As it comes alive in this way, the sliver of paper reveals Its hitherto unexposed content; this unpredictable kinematics is evidence of the constant impermanence of news. As well as exploring a certain archaeology of cinema, the mechanism references the passage of time: the ink, whether it is poured or printed, is the ink of ongoing human history." –Ismaïl Bahri

A lineup of glasses joyfully share ideas, growing in scale after each exchange. But the jubilant cycle is halted by a stubborn jar whose head is already filled. Director’s notes: "Pour 939" is an animated cartoon that was initially drawn as an exercise in visualizing the close minded, and their role in halting a fulfilling exchange of ideas. This simple metaphor was never supposed to be a stand alone film, but the more time I spent drawing it, the more I thought it could hold it's own water (or wine). Interestingly, this short film has no real story, it's simply an illustration of an idea: The moment when people who freely share thoughts are confronted with a person who is closed up. I chose the number 939 because it felt very stubborn and limited to me.
