This is an edited version of "Luke & Laura" which I uploaded to YouTube a month ago. Since the time I uploaded it, I'd learned new techniques, and new platforms had become available, that allow me to enhance some of the images in this video. This is the same script but some images are reordered some are simply animated.

Luke & Laura is a 10 minute play in verse with music. I wrote this play in 2012. Please visit the original upload to read more about the context around the script.

With technology as where it stands now, I'm intrigued to see how I can share my work with the world without submitting to institutional authority but find ways to share my work as (somewhat) intended. When I write, I envision the sound and image along with the words and all work cohesively. I have always desired to share the plurality of arts that make up my work.

The voices in this film were generated by AI, and most of the images also. No AI was used in the editing and many of the images I had to produce myself on Photoshop. So it's very much a combination.

I hope you enjoy.
