Bat's Eye View
My third film is called "Bat's Eye View" and was by far my most successful (meaning my friends seemed to like this one best.) It features great acting by Doug Hundley and Laura Gray. The story is about the overlapping lives of a few oddballs: a sleazy jerk in a crushed velvet suit named Bloody (Hundley), three vagrants seeking cigarettes and shelter, a couple of girls with questionable character named Treat and Loving and a mature working woman named May Flours(Gray) who unbelievably falls for the rouge known only as "Bloody." So it's a love story. Fellini inspired. Weird editing, lots of bright, spring, sunny days. This is my first film in color and a departure from my earlier films that were full of fog and shadows. This film was shot in the spring of 1993, but not put together until 1997. We held a number of public and private screenings in Atlanta, Georgia as well as in Oakland, California (the home of one of the actors, Chris Minter, while he was attending Berkeley.) So, one could say this film was seen from coast to coast.
