Laitala, Rosselini and Canto Yoshida at the Princess Grace Awards NYC-1996
Regarding the New Chromadepth Works, Scott Stark, filmmaker & curator Writes:
"Kerry Laitala takes eye-popping visual phenomena and turns it into refined artistry, in a body of work that is playful, visually articulate and a loving homage to the fundamental magic of cinema."
Akademie Schloss Solitude-Where Laitala worked on Several projects intermittantly from 1998-2001
Dumpster of my Dreams
SF Weekly Writes: Best of San Francisco ® 2011
Best Filmmaker Without a Pixar Contract (Yet) published: May 18, 2011
"The brilliant experimental filmmaker Kerry Laitala is a conjurer, summoning vestigial image-remnants from ancient films and, applying her singular skills in divine manipulation, evoking the fantastical world of jagged dreams, faded realities, and shadowy fairy tales. Working with the endangered material of celluloid, she constructs handcrafted gems that explode with fantastical associations. The great contradiction embodied in her oeuvre is precisely what makes her such a singular, important artist: She devotes endless, painstaking hours to works for transient, temporal movie-going experiences. Laitala will never be co-opted or corralled by any latter-day animation companies. After all, what do they know about film?"
