New York film director Lodge Kerrigan has made a remarkably small yet impactful body of work over the course of fifteen years, leaving a lasting impression on the minds of those who have had the privilege of witnessing his cinematic masterpieces. It is no wonder that the characters he has brought to life remain etched in the memory of audiences everywhere. Who can forget Peter Green, the complex and troubled individual with schizophrenia, from the critically acclaimed film Clean, Shaven (1993)? Or Claire Dolan, the reluctant and troubled call-girl, from the equally impressive Claire Dolan (1998)? And who can forget the devastated father, William Keane, as he searches for his missing six-year-old daughter in the poignant Keane (2004)? Through his unique filmmaking style, which often blurs the lines between documentary and fiction, Kerrigan sheds light on the often-overlooked misfits of modern society, while simultaneously critiquing the dehumanizing effects of our increasingly impersonal world.
