Time Will Tell (excerpt)

Written, directed, shot and edited by Sarah Joy Elliott and Nicholas Monsour

Performed by Julia Rich and Jeff Harms

Time Will Tell is a quasi-narrative short video that draws from memories, family photographs, the writings and drawings of Louise Bourgeois, the golden era of Hollywood musical choreography, popular folk music and improvisation.  A young woman lives in a two-bedroom apartment alone, save for a cat.  She sends and receives packages containing drawings and tape recordings of one side of a long distance conversation.  She makes tea, dances, has a picnic, sings and has a dinner party.
