Jim, KC and myself are responsible for most of the footage in this show (although we don’t seem to have got credited). In 30 days we covered 12,000 miles and travelled through 11 states.

J.P. Allen and Janis DeLucia Allen trumpeted their love of words and ideas when they named their indie-film company Coffee and Language Productions nearly a decade ago. Five features later, their respect for the text hasn’t wavered, even as they’ve expanded their repertoire of cinematic techniques. Blending 16mm and digital video, color and black-and-white, the duo probes the volatile landscape of personal relationships. Their latest, Sex and Imagining, is a two-character piece thick with dialogue and psychological undercurrents, shot in a handful of locations. In a jump-cut, switch-the-channel world, this material might seem best suited for the stage, but J.P. Allen demurs. “I would never compare my work to Ingmar Bergman’s,” he says with a hearty chuckle, “but look at the text of his screenplays. They’re incredibly dense.”
What does a photograph mean if the image is a lie?
A documentary filmmaker (Janis DeLucia Allen) investigates the murder of a former model (Melissa Leo, 2009 Academy Award Best Actress Nominee for FROZEN RIVER) and finds that everything she's been told about her death is false. This subtle and mysterious drama features an ensemble cast.
