Structure

The Greenway Self Park at the corner Kinzie and Clark St. in Chicago’s River North neighborhood is home to a parking ticket machine that was the inspiration for this short film. My office was across the street from this structure for over a decade and I’d interact with the machine almost daily. It’s housed in a little windowless vestibule and had way more dialogue programmed into its script than necessary. I’d often ride the elevator thinking about the engineer who designed the machine and gave it so much to say, and about the machine and its life sentence to stare at a brick wall repeating the same 8 pre-programmed lines over and over again. They say toll booth operators suffer from disproportionate levels of depression because they sit in a box and watch the world go by. I think all of us, artists, writers, or anyone, are just looking to heard and understood. Like Parky, the circumstances we find ourselves in limit that ability, whether they’re geographic limitations, limitations of mobility, autonomy, or our own abilities to communicate. STRUCTURE is the story of Parky trying to be heard.
