A Damn Fool Scheme

Four short films were created in honor of artist residency program MacDowell's Centennial in 2007. Four artists, competitively selected from among hundreds of MacDowell filmmakers, employ their own techniques—documentary, dramatic, experimental, and animation—to reflect the residency experience. They included this documentary by Michael Almereyda.
