- Re-envisioning the myth as a 1960's period piece with the Romans cast as G-men, the Sabines as butchers' daughters, and the heyday of Rome allegorically implied in an affluent international style summer house, this version is a riff on the original story of abduction and intervention, in which Romulus devises a plan to ensure the future of the empire.
- '89 Seconds at Alcázar', is a fluid choreography, bringing together an ensemble of visual atmosphere, performance and process, inspired by the Western masterpiece 'Las Meninas' (Maids of Honour) painted in 1656, by the Spanish painter Diego Velasquez. Sussman's interpretation of the painting that inspired this motion picture rendering is that 'Las Meninas' is a "film still that predates photography by 200 years". With this in mind, '89 Seconds at Alcázar' is realized as a ten-minute high definition video piece that allows the eternal moment depicted in the painting to exist as a fleeting gesture and continue as if the movement had occurred in daily life.
- Rufus Corporation designed a kind of filmmaking robot - a custom, programmed computer dubbed the "Serendipity Machine" that uses key words to seamlessly select from 3,000 film clips shot in central Asia, 80 voice-overs, and 150 pieces of music to create an ethereal narrative that follows a geophysicist named Holz (Jeff Wood). Holz is stuck in a 1970s-looking metropolis called City-A, whose citizenry are subject to various unusual restrictions. Through voice-over dialogues, wire-tapped telephone conversations, and snippets of Holz's job interview with his employer, a mysterious woman referred to simply as Dispatch, it becomes evident that Holz is controlled by the factory and city where he works, just as his fate is dictated by the machine editing the film.
