‘Variations’ is the first chapter of ‘Cry with Me,’ an ongoing film series and installation. The series stars the director’s alter-ego, Griselda, an indignant iconoclast armed with inherited trauma and a vicious sense of humor.

In this genre-fluid fantasy, Griselda reenacts 30 of the director’s eccentric dates with hired actors. As the performances become repetitive and surreal, the audience witnesses the normally guarded Griselda struggle with their deepest darkest secret.
