Frame Up 2002

Directed by Ericka Beckman

The game begins when the crane, spinning at high speed in the center of the site, drops two balls down the chute of an elevator shaft. The construction workers and their materials become the flippers and paddles that careen balls against the obstacles in the construction site as it changes over time
