“Official Unofficial Goodwill Residency / Little Factory”

A film shot entirely out of items from the Goodwill, including the script. The filming took place in the parking lot of the store between 10:00AM and 8:00PM and anyone could participate in creation of the movie. The film was screened the next evening on the wall outside of Nosh Cafe, a block from the Goodwill.

Expanding on a past project where she unofficially designated herself as Artist in Residence at the Goodwill Super Store in SE Portland, Laurel Kurtz unofficially officially appointed Vicki Lynn Wilson and John larsen as Artists in Residence in the same locale. An advertisement was circulated encouraging people who may be stopping by the Goodwill that day to engage in production as a grip, best boy, foley or assistant to the creative directors. All participants are acknowledged with their name and neighborhood in the credits of the movie.

A project for PICA Time Based Art Festival, Portland State University, Parallel University, and the Office of Inclusion.
