Anticipation is its own special type of euphoria—pre-excitement for the actual excitement. Anticipation can be the best part of road trips, blind dates, holidays and birthdays.

Reeling was created by deconstructing an instructional bass fishing VHS tape into the classic fishing actions (casting, reeling, catching and release) then re-assembling the some of the most exciting moments.

Reeling is the first video in my Weird Feelings series. The Weird Feelings series examines emotional and mental states often under-represented in traditional narrative films. I create the videos by digitizing and cutting up instructional and infotainment VHS tapes I find in thrift stores.
