The Eddies

​From below ground, a man named Eddie describes flood lines, levees and trivial histories of the crumbling infrastructure of Memphis, TN. In this same city, the filmmaker, a recent transsexual transplant, watches military propaganda and contemplates masculine connectivity as he attempts to integrate into the American South. He posts a Craigslist ad asking men to masturbate on-camera with their firearms. He receives a single response from a man whose name is also Eddie.
 
Paced, static images of Mississippi River currents, freight trains and decaying architecture mark the above-ground landscape of Memphis, while shaky, handheld darkness, with flickers of light, depict glimpses of the city's underground tunnels. The encounter between the filmmaker and "Eddie No. 2" is revealed on camera, explicitly. The underground world becomes a lens through which the challenges of the above-ground world can be reconsidered.
