Read Four Self-Interviews About Cinema: the short films of director Norman Reedus Page 7

Concrete: To me, this film is the most intriguing of the three when taken through our filter of investigation of Identity—I find the film at once lends itself to literal investigation of concrete elements while at the same time being very and intensely impressionistic (or expressionistic) and in such overtly welcoming of abstract/felt reaction. Too, that Reedus both wrote and directed this piece concentrates the punch of its usage of abstract and actual—that no element of the film (from conception to actualization) originated outside of the single Artist, so to speak, makes this the most wholly single minded of the three films and so, I think, the most quantifiable.
