The comings and goings of the late underground filmmaker, Curt McDowellâand the people and activities that came and went along with himâare the themes that run through this existential diary of daily life. McDowell was dying from AIDS-related illnesses during the production of the diary. âAn elegy for McDowell, the videowork captures Kucharâs mournful remembrances of his long-lasting friendship with the young filmmaker. But it also has the inquisitive charm, perverse humor, and quirky candor that places Kucharâs visual expressions in a gritty niche all their own.â
