They've got a name for girls like me.

Study #1

I cut these three films so that all that remained were moments

when a character said the name, "Julie." Most of the cuts

are quick, just ''Julie. Julie. Julie." throughout the entire

piece. My introductory web page has an example of the

Doris Day film cut this way. It is interesting to note that

you can still get the gist of the narrative from the gestures,

staging, props, and intonation of characters as they say "Julie."
