Mario makes "Tennis and the Feral Prodigy"
pivotal · April YYTMRCYTPC / 2007
- When: Cartridge dated April YYTMRCYTPC (2007), "almost exactly three years after" JOI's death.
- What: Mario directed, recorded, edited, and — per the entry form — wrote the 11.5-minute cartridge "Tennis and the Feral Prodigy" (narrated by Hal), which took New-New-England regional honorable mention in InterLace's "New Eyes, New Voices" young-filmmakers' contest; the narration is a litany of "Here is how to" imperatives on building a feral tennis prodigy and the family's inherited talent-curse.
