Super Ocho

8:00, 1990, super 8 film

“Super Ocho” investigates American culture’s insistence on creating hierarchies of excellence or “goodness”, such as the “top ten” or the “big eight” or the “supreme being” or “evil doers”. Working in improvisational settings, non-actors were asked to develop actions and text exploring notions of God, national security, sports, truth-telling and spirituality.
