“Shooting Techniques,” made by San Antonio filmmakers Mark and Angela Walley as part of TAMI’s Mess With Texas program, explores the process of a pair of video artists as they make work inspired by films from the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. The video artists, played by Remy Bordas and Marisa Finos, are loosely based on filmmakers Mark and Angela Walley and their collaborative relationship with artists Matthew Van Hellen and Jeremiah Teutsch. The Mess With Texas program was produced in partnership with Aurora Picture Show and the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston.

This video was produced as part of the 2012 Mess With Texas program, commissioned for the exhibition Perspectives 178: CINEPLEXat the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, in partnership with Aurora Picture Show and the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. Texas-based film/video artists Kelly Sears, Mark and Angela Walley, Scott Stark, Alec Jhangiani, and Alex Luster delved into the vast collection of movies, newsreels, and homemade films in the Texas Archive of the Moving Image and created entirely new works from the footage. These new reworkings are creative intersections of past and present, bringing new life to cinematic memory.
