A Perfect Day

Originally a theatrical production created by Helen Thorsen that featured her daughter, Joie Meissner and Marvin Rael, the multimedia based farce was produced for video at the old Wicker Park galleries on Damen Avenue in Chicago. Shot over the period of a single night, it showcased the ideas of Thorsen while borrowing liberally from her existential viewpoints about life. The videotaping and staging was handled by Scott Becker and reflects his initial experience with video production during the early 1980's..
