The Good Samaritan

This was originally a 16mm silent film which I made in 1994. To help it flow a bit, I recently composed some music for it. The film explores the ambivalence many people have about the homeless, and the limits and trust they may be willing to give them. The film also presents an ambiguity as to who is the "Good Samaritan" here, and how the situation of the homeless often does not change despite initial good intentions. There are a few things I might have done differently from the technical side but, overall, the result was what I wanted.
