Bullethead
(black and white, 13 minutes, 1993)

What would it mean to wake up one morning and find all your beliefs had vanished in the shifting winds? This is the story of Derek, a luge racer from a former Eastern Bloc republic. As a child, his skull was surgically altered to make him the world's most aerodynamic human. Now the winds of change swirling about him become the greatest test of his resiliency.
