Description for The Public Service Announcement
The Public Service Announcement is a short film made to accompany a spoken word Guma composition of the same name. The film was shot in November 2023 in and around Lockhart, TX and features many of that city’s iconic public locations and homes. Its fantastical narrative was contrived separately from the composition of the music, and the film was edited as a silent movie before the soundtrack was added. This technique allowed for the irruption of semiotic coincidences and new meaning for both the soundtrack and image once the visual piece was overlayed with the music. The film was partially funded by a grant from the City of Austin’s Economic Development Department.
