Hello. My name is Vincent O'Brien. I'm an independent film/video maker
and curator here in Austin-Texas, earth. I have a film company called
F3 FILMS, which works very closely with FringeWare, Inc. on various
projects. Past activities have included documentaries on the meat
industry, blood plasma industry, and fellow artists; curating at the
Rice University Media Center and FringeWare, Inc.; live sound track work
with my friend Thor-drummer for the SWANS; receiving an award from the
Houston International Film Festival; numerous exhibitions and
publications through such sites as the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, University of California at Davis, ND Magazine and Metro
Riquet-Paris; and being an invited artist at Richard Linklater's Austin
Media Arts space in 1987, where he was directly influenced to produce
"Slackers", which was based on my documentary work of artistic friends.
Current activities include the continuation of an outdoor independent
film/video festival of shorts, completion of a 10 year documentary on
the blood plasma industry with my friend Jihad Touma, a feature film is
slated for the summer of 99, and continued photographic work, poetry,
and music. I am particularly interested in the study of personal
experience/identity/trauma and its relationship to systems of production
and consumption within a chaotic framework. I'm looking forward to
participating and learning from this forum. Thanks!
Vincent O'Brien
