Silver Cholla is a place to store and share my inspirations. You are welcome to use it as a tool, for knowledge sharing or
even simple entertainment.
I expect its readers to respect its content and handle it with gentle kindness.

My creative process is a lot like a mentor that I treat with respect and continually learn from. This blog is going to be an integral part of this process.

It's rather exciting to pull it all together in one place;
the thoughts, the visual and

the verbal ramblings that go on in my head while creating and living.

So take of your watch off and jump in. We're going on an untimely creative road trip. You can even take the wheel.

Un Chien Andalou - This classic Surrealist film is not for the squeamish.

Un Chien Andalou - An Andalusian Dog is a 1928 -1929 short surrealist film produced in France by two Spanish auteurs: the Aragonian director Luis Buñuel and the Catalonian artist Salvador Dalí -
Warning: some grotesque footage. Here is the film I refer to in the post below...Film - This is Unedited and Spilled Out. This classic Surrealist film is 15:34 minutes.

"Un Chien Andalou remains a startling artifact suggesting ways in which film can express the subconscious. The result of Luis Bunuel's collaboration with Salvador Dali, the 17-minute, 1929 film was designed expressly to shock and provoke. Opening with the canonical eyeball-slashing sequence and divided into baffling 'chapters', this is a work of art obsessed with religion, lust, decay, violence, and death. Un Chien Andalou isn't simply one of the great works of the surrealist movement, but a segment of cinematic DNA that irrevocably altered the aesthetics of film." -amazon.com (Ryan Boudinot)
