Films by Daniel Kremer

Ceiling-Head Angel is filmmaker Daniel Kremer’s first piece of filmmaking shot entirely in New York City following his arrival from Philadelphia. This short narrative-documentary hybrid is a poignant and often hilarious examination of two men well past their prime. 85-year-old Joe very apparently struggles with a desire to retain the illusion of youth. 69-year-old Angel wakes up every morning and finds himself entranced and captivated by shapes he sees on his ceiling when he looks straight up, trying to perceive objects in abstract figures caused by the chipped ceiling paint. The curmudgeonly Joe cannot see, and perhaps refuses to see, these objects.

2008 / 10 minutes / Color / 24P / 1.78:1
Written, Photographed and Directed by Daniel Kremer; Associate Producer Ephraim Asili
Starring Angelo Selada (Angel) and Joseph Rechner (Joe)
