Belly's (2001)

This rare collection of Ryan Trecartin's early short films, produced as a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, showcase the artist's maturation in experimental video which would culminate in his debut feature film - "A Family Finds Entertainment." Included are seven of Trecartin's titled short films, ranging from 2001-2003, and a number of secret extras scattered around the DVD menus. While there is no official information to be found about this DVD, the elaborate menu graphics and wildly varied original sound design point to this DVD as potentially a form of portfolio, allowing the artist to showcase their early work alongside original digital manipulations.
