Graveyard Shift is a piece inspired by the events that I experienced while working overnight at a retail store. I filmed the videos over the course of two days and then spent one week editing the video and one week writing the music. All videos were shot in Lincoln, Nebraska and in an abandoned pioneer-cemetery in western Iowa called Slates Cemetery (est. 1878). Layers of film and sound are combined in various ways to complement one another or cancel one another out.
