I'm A Believer, (completed June, 2025), is the 'Official" music video for song I'm A Believer, created for Vancouver band Rat Silo.
I'm A Believer is an experimental flash documentary short. It is a largely internet-sourced, reflecting our 24/7 online live-fed broadcast of both historical
and contemporary experience in relation to power dynamics. It's a high-speed melange of posted photos and video clips: a combination of personal permissions, public domain,
CC BY SA 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 by others, properly credited (including embedded labels on clips), and video and media artworks of my own. The film is additionally injected with my
inter-titles, layers, and text overlays.
Directors statement:
"Having been familiar with my gallery installations and public art works, band Rat Silo invited me to create videos for both Kill God Now and I'm A Believer,
the first two singles from their new Album 1933. (I also sang backing vocals on the album). I created the storylines, and variously compiled/curated
and/or created/shot the works appearing in both I'm A Believer and Kill God Now. The strategy underlying the subject matter is to lay bare the mechanics of now
millennia-long hegemony-- is a thread that runs through much of my gallery and public artworks (Slip/host, starring Alan Cumming in both lead roles, being
one of the most biting of examples: Slip Host(2007))
Please note: this 4K video here has been formatted for this screen. 4444XQ codec (or suitable for context) is deliverable along with ATMOS sound
for those cinemas equipped to deliver immersive sound, or alternately lossless sound. Can send a DCP if requested. Embedded text, inter titles and
credits will also be appropriately sized for cinema screening.
