Thinking Steak - 4'40"

             James Dunn investigates the meaning of self-image within his film Thinking Steak.  Various scenes of his dwelling (many of which are obscured and vague) are coupled with a steady, pulsing soundtrack to evoke a particular mood from the viewer.  These elements all culminate in a looping sequence towards the end, which provides yet another ambiguous theme.  The imagery in this film is largely left open-ended, causing the viewer to question what exactly is the narrative of this piece.
