Mice live in walls, in crawl spaces, between fences and alleys: places of separation and boundaries which mark our lives, but which assume a completely different dimension for these animals, a domestic dimension. From their point of view, and that of the people who love them, live with them and even kill them, the history of Baltimore is explored in a different and absolutely original way. [rm]

Declaration
film director
“My documentary work challenges the journalistic role of presenting an objective account of experience. I am interested in making films that explore how subjective reality is commodified to fit outsider’s narratives of consumption and production. I want to understand how this process is used to anesthetize pain, to eliminate accountability, and how the divisions of artist and subject in film production mimic larger capitalist modes of exploitation. I want to make films that use a familiar visual language that can simultaneously speak to and challenge these histories of representation.”
