The Patterns Trilogy
A woman waits by the phone. A man watches a tea cup spin. Are they lovers? Yes, they are. Now let’s watch them sing and dance.
A suspense thriller, a love story, a dreamscape and a musical extravaganza, The Patterns Trilogy presents, in three parts, the epic anti-romance of Michael and Pauline.
Patterns
Pauline waits for a phone call, misses the phone call, gets the phone call and regrets the phone call in this first chapter of The Patterns Trilogy. Stop-motion animation adds chilly unease to Pauline and her mystery caller’s unusually intimate conversation.
Patterns 2
After finding some mystery Chinese take-out at his doorstep, Michael finds himself unable to resist phoning the woman he suspects sent it. In this second chapter of The Patterns Trilogy, the identity of Pauline’s mystery caller is revealed and Pauline’s innocence is put into question.
Patterns 3
A vibrant split-screen musical finale to The Patterns Trilogy. Pauline, having washed her hands all night, suffers from the driest of hands. Michael, having sent her paper airplane love letters all night, has a bad case of paper cuts. With damaged hands and anguished hearts, Pauline and Michael reveal through song the nature of their enigmatic relationship.
