Documentary by Alexandra Juhasz, 1992
Alex shoots Jim (James Robert Lamb) on Miami Beach (on top of a VHS tape with some TV on it!) at his invitation in 1993 with her VHS camcorder. This precious and complicated footage is used as the basis for her experimental documentaries about him (and others), Video Remains (2005) and Please Hold (2025).
James Robert (Jim) Lamb (1963-1993) was a member of Everett Quinton’s reboot of Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company, a graduate of Amherst College (‘88), and the lover of Joe Guimento and Miguel Prieto. He was raised in New Caanan, CT where he was a founder and actor in a youth theater company, the Barnham Players. Jim lived and died before the internet held many or any traces of people.
