| With her dreamlike and poetic sense, Patricia Chica is part of a new generation of film directors who translate emotions with images, words and playful provocation. Set between surrealism and illusion, her artistic approach focuses on innovative techniques for narration an d avant-garde visual expression. As an ex-casting director, Patricia is a gifted director of actors in her own films; she knows how to get the best performance on every artist. She believes that every project should be creative and entertainment oriented. She has won numerous national and international awards because creativity is valued.
Patricia Chica has been working since she was 17 years old as a film, video and television director as well as a screenwriter. Following her graduation, with distinction, from the Film department at Concordia University, she is chosen by the professional association Women In Film
(FCTVM) to participate in a training course for film-directing at the National Film Board of Canada. Early in her career, her versatility and creativity brought her to achieve multifaceted projects including award-winning short films, Canadian and American music-videos, musical documentaries, commercials and fashion videos. Her work has been aired on
MuchMusic, MusiquePlus, MusiMax, Bravo!, TVOntario/TFO, CTV/CFCF12, Radio-Canada,
Vidéotron, CJNT, TQS, and presented in numerous film festivals around the world. Passionate about art and fashion, she also created Make Up For Ever Paris’ visual promos in close collaboration with New York painter
Corno.
A born globe-trotter, Patricia likes to combine her three passions: travel, music and creation and has worked in Canada, USA and France. In 1996, she embarks on a trip bound for Europe, alone with her rucksack and her video camera. She returns to Montreal with two short films, Renaissance d’Aphrodite and Une Québécoise à Paris, filmed across a dozen European cities. That same year, after a tour of international film festivals, her work collects two prizes at the 27th CIIAFF in British-Columbia. Patricia also receives an excellence distinction from the OFQJ (an Agency from the Quebec Government) for the quality and the relevance of her commentaries. In 1997, the Canadian Parliament awards her an honorary mention as Revelation of the Year in the Canadian artistic milieu (Hispanic in particular).
Patricia Chica is pursuing her work as a dramatic film director with her first 35mm film The Promise (La
Promesse), a musical romantic drama aimed at a young audience. This film has won four awards and five nominations in Canada, USA and France among which the Grand Prize for Best Directing in
Saint-Affrique (France), the Best Short Drama Award in Mississippi (USA) and the Grand Prize for Best Foreign Language Film in Rhode Island (USA). Presently, Patricia Chica is writing her new film project entitled Train of Desire that will be produced by Périphéria Productions (Montreal) in co-production with Ellabel Productions (Paris).

| John B. Dauer
is attending The Art Institute of Pittsburgh (AIP) from 6/94-6/96,
He came from Erie, PA to Pittsburgh for the soul purpose of becoming a music producer. When
he was introduced to the art of video and film he knew that he had finally found the soul mate for the music
he loved so much. He worked on many college projects and excelled in
his courses, to the point that he was asked to teach at AIP in 1998. After freelancing for 2-1/2 years,
he is now a full time video director for an ad/marketing agency in Pittsburgh. Other works include: "A Mother's Love" a 5 min B/W silent film. |

| Synopsis:
Inspired by "Henry, Portrait of a serial Killer"(a version seen on Cinemax in the late 80's) and "The Exorcist" as well as multiple music types and internal rage, "A Small Corner in Hell" is a visual montage of dialogue, music video, sound effects and art. A serial killer is being interviewed on his last day before execution and is asked to recall his thoughts.
This is done in a stylistic video manner and is just a little disturbing.
Unfortunately the video utilizes a few copyrighted songs and film quotes and can not be distributed without rights and clearances.
