If someone asked, “What are the arts?” Most people would quickly respond, “It’s music, visual art, dance, theatre, and writing.” What if the question was to describe the humanities? Would you know how to respond?

In this experimental narrative, a man’s grief over his wife’s recent death is expressed through editing, camera movements, sound and music. Presented at Wisconsin’s Own Film Festival (2001).
Javier C. Rivera spent most of his childhood and young adult years in Kenosha before moving to Austin, Texas a few years ago. Art has always been an important part of his life, and Javier is an author and a musician (see www.sometimesweb.com and www.tinoghost.com for more information about his book and music). However, film has always been Javier’s passion, and he has been editing and directing films since 1996. He and his company, Gasoline Productions, produce films, television series, promotional and training videos, demo reels, and promotional graphics for artists, filmmakers, musicians, companies, and actors. More information about his company can be found at www.GasolineProductions.com.
