Life at Musser: Episode #1


First episode in the documentary web series "Life at Musser." Musser is the name of the International House on the Ursinus College campus in Collegeville, Pennsylvania (USA). At this house, students from across the world live together. From 2001 through 2003, I lived in Musser and began recording life with an analog Hi8 camcorder for a documentary about living in Musser. I also captured the resident's adventures outside of Musser walls. For all you film buffs, imagine if Frederick Wiseman and Ross McElwee had a baby and left it "stranded in canton." Remember, this was a time before everyone had a cell phone; long before it was common to have a video camera on your cell phone, and prior to YouTube and Facebook's existence! The documentary was never completed...until now in a web series format! This web series also celebrates my 10th year of making films. A new episode will be added each week! From over 200 hours of footage, these images are my personal "cave drawings" of early filmmaking. Sit back and enjoy! Episode #1 starts our journey with the Jordanian BBQ Bash!
