Hi Rhizomers LA

I am screening my film at the DGA this Thursday.
It will be great to see you there.

Exploding Oedipus
2001, 78 Minutes

Director: Marc Lafia

An exquisite, ballsy first feature by Marc Lafia, EXPLODING OEDIPUS bursts
upon the screen with the dark and ominous beauty of an inky-black sunspot.
The story follows Hilbert, a handsome young man who has dropped out of the
mainstream to re-assemble his identity from the scattered pieces left by his
swinging parents and his troubled youth. Holing up in a San Francisco
flophouse, Hilbert begins a long, "lost weekend" of reading, reflecting and
watching Super 8mm home movies to decipher his past and confront the
spectral forces that keep him awash in pain. Experiments with drugs and
modern art and gay sex with strangers on the street further his quest. The
