McCorkle is a one-man production team. Over the course of five years he wrote the Twilight Zone-like script; elaborately staged the narrative in, among other venues, his apartment; designed evocative 1950s era sets using a powerfully limited color palette; hired and directed octogenarian actress Gilda Todar; and, shot the non-motion picture in 8-by-10 digital format. McCorkle edited his silent “film” by extensively manipulating and, ultimately, assembling composite full-focus “snap shots” from scores of individual shots. The result is a gorgeously rich and detailed narrative about the fictitious Millie Holdon. Millie takes us on a dreamy trip in search of answers to questions about life and death, youth and mortality, love and loss. McCorkle beckons his viewers with this work, “Come closer. Look. Self examine.”
