I'LL MISS YOU LATER - Editor
17 min short documentary about a New York writer and poet Jim Taylor, who survived three pandemics: Polio. Aids. Covid. Jim uses the last pandemic to mourn his many friends who passed in the 80's from AIDS after discovering his poetry illustrating those times. Director Annie O'Neil set the film against the back drop of New York and using the art from that gay period, by the extraordinary artist Joey Terrill
"The whole concept of "I'll Miss You Later" which was why I chose it as the title for this collection is that so much of what happens is that we have to go through an immediate experience with at a death. I mean there's a dead body that has to be disposed of, there's a ritual that is required and the ritual itself can be very separate from the emotions that it
brings up and I think a lot of what happens immediately after death and after a funeral you get through it. You have something to eat, you go home, you have sex and the impact of what that life is without that person is only gradually going to start to dawn on you as you go some place and think "Oh, I was there-- I was there with my friend Jesse"-- "Oh, he died"
"1995. As the designated porn collector I was a one man special ops team going in ahead of the family with a map of where to look for what."
