CRAWLEY

(1999, b&w super-8 film, 7 minutes)



crawley poster

“I would far rather be ignorant than wise.... But I'm not.
If I could take back that step then, I would .... But I can't.
BIPEDS! You don't know the chaos that hangs in your wake! It's so easy for you... But I know things I cannot know.I have been called upon to perceive and extinguish the tiny firesof unchecked fate. Fat with blindness you stumble on,your arms out-stretched... YOU'RE GONNA GET HURT! Once I walked in your world, and 'O, the damage I caused...INEXCUSABLE!
You see... 16 years ago...
I stepped on a crack and broke my mother's back.”

-CRAWLEY

REVIEWS
"A disturbing look at OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder,
Crawley succeeds in taking viewers into
the mind of someone afflicted a little more seriously
than Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets.
Shot in B&W Super-8 and edited on video, the stark
visuals aid in creating a horrific mood. At first I
thought the title was in reference to Aleister Crowley
(Magick in Theory and Practice), but rather,
it is descriptive of the main character's mode of ambulation:
skittering along, afraid to step on any
cracks as he thinks his doing so once broke
his mother's back. Wonderfully off-beat."
-Cashiers du Cinemart

"Crawley is a dark comedy which draws heavily on
the childhood fears of co-writers Ben Edlund and Eric
Hammer- fears ranging from killer bees to the inevitability
of their parents' spontaneaous combustion."
-Film Threat Magazine

"...A hilarious sketch in which a deranged mad-man
named Crawley tries to harmonize forces of strange
attraction occurring between food items on his table."
-Dagobert's Revenge
