deadCENTER Film Festival 2008

'Breakup of a Happy Marriage' is a retelling of my experiences with testicular cancer through visual metaphor. Completed on the two-year anniversary of my diagnosis, this film is representative of my letting go of that burden and moving on. When I was still being treated, and even still today, my friends and I would often lighten the mood by making jokes about me having lost one of my 'balls.' This film tries to maintain some of that brevity while still treating a subject like cancer appropriately. It was a fine line to walk, but in the end I think we were successful. Also, in case you were wondering, I am all better now and yes, that is my real urologist in the film.
