Was filmed by Joel Snowden for fun. I had nothing to do in a studio called insight in Vancouver BC. There was an editing machine there but I opted for using 2 vcrs. The glitches were done in transfer on purpose in sinc to the music which a BC artist let us use. There were not many glitch films at the time, early 90s and the film won best experimental film in 2006 in New York film and video festival, run in part by Abel Ferrera(bad lieutenant). "I sat on the film for a long time and released it finally in 2006, to generate a buzz for "Goin ape" a live action film that I received funding for although it was sparse , through main film and the QC arts council-calq."-toly a.k.

"Paradise Lost" is about whales in captivity but much more as a loss of innocence is felt throughout the film and man's nature is examined

"It remains the most commercially viable experimental film I have made and can be enjoyed by young and old."- Toly a.k.
