Whoa Whoa Studio (for Courbet)

This film refracts Donegan's earlier performance work through the lens of a studio art practice. The artist subverts the tradition of studio painting by using a computer to make simple line drawings. Later, the computer is transformed into a canvas through the regressive act of directly marking the monitor. Painting is related to scatology as a correlation is made between art making and infantile fantasy.

Watch Me

Tess Hooper is a diligent and earnest cinema studies student, haunted by a shameful incident from her past. One by one Tess's friends end up brutally murdered after opening the "Watch Me" email, a file that spreads through electronic address books to seek its next victim. All murders bear the same traits: a red-headed woman in a yellow dress, an internet connection, the victims' eyes sewn shut. As Tess becomes the next target in line, she finds herself seeking answers from Taku, an illegal film dealer with the unsavory nickname of "freak boy" and the moral integrity of a rattlesnake. But showing up voluntarily at Taku's lair, Tess finds herself in even more danger than when she was on her own. If the two can survive each other, they may just be able to live through this deadly email. As the clock ticks and the body count mounts, the two must untangle the puzzle to stop "Watch Me" from its poisonous rampage.

The Kiss (let's Play Dynasty)

Written as a reading of a screenplay of the popular soap opera Dynasty, “The Kiss (let’s play Dynasty!)” stars Francesco Vezzoli and actor Helmut Berger, who appeared in several episodes as a conniving playboy. The artist gives the part of Alexis Carrington, made famous by Joan Collins, to Berger while he plays her son Steven, the first bisexual character in American television. After a heated argument about Steven’s love affairs and the extended family, the pair reconcile with a kiss. The act combines the fantasy of Oedipus with the artist’s deep interest in filmmaker Luchino Visconti, Berger’s mentor and romantic partner.
