Locked Out
(2021)

7:57

Featured at the Gasparilla International Film Festival 2023, and winner of the "Best of the Fest" Award at the University of Tampa's Spring 2022 Black Box Film Festival,  Locked Out is an experimental analog horror short film.
While in the middle of a live broadcast, Station 9 succumbs to an event that has been covered up.

Created using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro.

“Surprising and told in a unique way.”
- Bryan Wendorf, co-founder of the Chicago Underground Film Festival

“On the edge of experimental, but has a consistent aesthetic and unique voice.”
- James Leming, screenwriter & film director

Four years At Kissingers
(2023)

2:06

In an age of artificial intelligence and audio-animatronics, Four Years At Kissinger's boldly answers the decades old question "what would it be like if there was a children's entertainment pizzeria like Freddy Fazbear's Pizza that was themed after Richard Nixon's National Security Advisor, Henry Kissinger?"

Winner of the "Best Experimental" Award at The University of Tampa's Fall 2023 Black Box Film Festival.

This is a video art piece I made using projection mapping over a 3D printed puppet and voice model of Henry Kissinger I made for another ongoing project.

Created using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Mad Mapper.
