In an alienated world where order and chaos are in constant collision, max r. and Christina become lovers. JUNK is a love story during the verge of apocalypse. Two wandering creatures meet in a space where time is diffusing, and the past, present and future seem to collapse into one another. Previous to their encounter, max r. methodically collects and categorizes urban debris. Christina, on the other hand, lives for chance and involves herself in radical acts. Using creative narration and intertitles, love is theorized and located somewhere between knowledge and revolution. Examining human existence, Bogawa combines historical footage of an optimistic future with elegant shots of desolate industrial landscapes, tumultuous weather patterns and surveillance imagery. Strange mechanical sounds and an evocative soundtrack are layered with the poetic images, creating a visceral edge to the film. Bogawa is influenced
by both Godard and Warhol, as well as musical groups such as Suicidal Tendencies and Codeine.
In describing his goals for JUNK, Bogawa states,
"I wanted to make a film that could go away in
an instant, or like a distant abandoned probe, endlessly send signals into the void."

A solitary man struggles to cultivate beauty in a desolate urban world. Combining experimental and narrative techniques, ROSEWATER explores themes of masculinity, cultural displacement and assimilation in a post-modern setting.
