"Fla.Me." is a film roughly based on a comparison between two geographic areas: Brooksville, Florida, and Sutton Island, Maine.

It is a work about remembrance, a subject it treats both through the chronicling of events and the development of a specific and idiosyncratic way of seeing.

The goal in this movie is to give the audience the sense of viewing these locations through the filter of time and the properties of a particular mind's eye. To this end, original scenes are used much as an Impressionist uses a landscape; visual elements are emphasized using film techniques such as animation and optical printing, and the slow rhythms and random nature of recall are simulated through sound and editing.

As such, "Fla.Me." is a personal rendition of small sections of the past. These selected realities are the raw material for the film, but its style and structure are derived from the filmmaker's patterns of thought and memory."
