Modern Daydreams (2001) Online

Modern Daydreams is a suite of four Chaplinesque films exploring the theme of movement engendered by day-to-day life. They are post-modern comedies with silent film sensibilities revealing much of the movement about us to be metaphors for both romance and isolation. "Treadmill Softly" - A man reaches aerobic heart rate at the gym when he falls for a hunkette. "Islands in the Sky" - Four people weave fifty feet in the air atop four cherry-pickers, aloft and aloof in their ivory towers. "Unleashed" - A cubicle-bound Dilbert-ditto gets in touch with his inner puppy. "Deere John" - A man and a twenty-two ton John Deere excavator dance a dance of discovery, fulfillment, and eventually, the loss that any diesel-based relationship must suffer.

these are beautiful, beautiful short films. i mean four minutes. in them, a man working in cold, drab urban areas fantasizes, and daydreams about being out in the country. in my favorite one, he daydreams about dancing with cherry pickers, those telescoping baskets that phone repairpeople and professional painters use. in another, he daydreams about a backhoe. you can go to mitchell rose's website to see them all. he has other films too that are screaming funny. you can also find some of these on youtube. mitchell rose has an engineering degree as well as a dance degree. the dancer who stars in these films is jamey hampton, who is also a musician.
