Suburban Midnight Serial Murder Case (Prologue)

Landscapes with a Serial Killer

Early super8 location hunting sketches for what would then turn out to be the feature-lenght film "Squareworld" (1995), the sound recordings of this work where used in that film and in "Aquarium City" (1996). The original concept of "Suburban Midnight Serial Murder Case" was an over 5 hours long film that never actually developed into its final form, however its overall darkness and the core idea of creating a tale of complete darkness are to be seen as a prelude to the aforementionted 16mm films.
