Director's Statement: Roger D. Wilson is a Canadian artist who uses film beyond the purpose of just recording an image: he manipulates the film's emulsion, just as painters use canvas to explore the colours of their palette. Experimentation and failure pushes Roger forward as an artist to try something different, something new with each project.
