ZAC NICHOLSON

Part I in a music video series loosely based on descriptions of lost silent films: A girl is seen to enter a room and takes off her hat which she places on a table. Hats in profusion appear on her head, one after the other; no sooner does she remove one than another takes its place on her head.

Lucky Sevens (2006)

Marvin Zigglebaum wakes one morning to find an eviction notice on his door. In his destitute state, the old man decides to risk what little he has left at the local racetrack. Accompanied by his wary friend Walter, Marvin sets out in hopes of a quick fix and finds that things are not always so simple.
