EDITOR REEL – 2020

This short film addresses the difficult subject of “comfort women” during WWII—and the movement in the 1980s to acknowledge them.

Highlander Cultural Bazaar Recap

One of two promo videos I created for the historic Highlander Research and Education Center, summarizing their two-day online Zoom event held in June 2020.

“Fever Dreams”

This is a personal art project, which I started while recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Originally, the focus was just on being sick, and the altered consciousness that comes with that. But as the world started changing drastically over the past few months, I felt the video start to naturally change with it.

Both the music and video were crafted entirely from public-domain audio samples and footage.

“Distant”

I made this movie—with the help of my talented wife Ashlie— inside our apartment in April 2020, in response to Roger Corman’s Quarantine Film Festival challenge.

The challenge: Make a movie, under two minutes, without leaving your home, using only a cell phone and available lights.

Shot on a Galaxy S10 phone. All jobs except acting were done by me.

UPDATE: This film has just been selected for the 20th annual Coney Island Film Festival, scheduled to screen Sept. 11-13 online.

“Blade Runner – The Lost Cut”

Mash-Up Video

I had been kicking around the idea of this video for quite a while. With the recent pandemic, I suddenly found myself with more time on my hands, and figured it was a good opportunity to finally sit down and make it happen.
