With Pluses and Minuses (16mm film)

Excerpt from my film With Pluses and Minuses (2013, 16mm, 5:00)

“This morning the window blew its glass onto my face. Real morning with pluses and minuses (my symbols for truth).” – Watt

“…Stoltz shakes and dislocates audio and image with volume and pitch variations, editing the 16mm film in camera, varying the focus and the shot length of every frame, shifting background and foreground, turning and spinning the camera hand-held positions, and allowing sequences of black that punctuate the image’s algorithms. The filmmaker’s dance transforms abstraction into personal experience. He is an active agent of the surrounding world, and of the opportunities that open and close before us.” -Mónica Savirón, LUMIÈRE Fall 2013
