Misfortune · 407 days ago
Misfortune is a fun thriller about a guy who stumbles into the wrong chinese restaurant. Just remember… don’t order the special!
Watch Misfortune in its entirety here.
Misfortune was shot on super 16mm film over two long, but very fun nights in the fall of 2002 in Tallahassee, FL.
Misfortune went on to win Kevin Spacey’s Triggerstreet Film Festival and was screened at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. That screening was, by the way, a stop on my cross country trip as I moved to LA. Not a bad way to arrive in LA, huh? The Triggerstreet win also lead to an article about me in Vanity Fair Magazine. Not too bad…

Lint · 407 days ago
I’m proud to present LINT. It isn’t quite finished yet, but I think it turned out pretty good for being completed in seven days (from conception to dvd). We shot it in my laundry room in one afternoon and then I edited it over the next couple nights while working on a top secret show in Las Vegas, NV.
Originally made for a film festival of sorts, I thought I’d load it up here for all to see. Starring the illustrious Megan Boone.
Look for a finished cut in the next month or so… I think I might loose the very end which seems a bit tacked on (I had to include it to make sure the short abided by the “rules” of the festival).

Jack and Kristin · 408 days ago
This is a short mobisode I directed for Sam Raimi’s Ghosthouse Pictures. A mobisode (or mobile episode) is another way of referring to short serialized content geared towards viewing on mobile devices. This particular mobisode was developed for a test campaign shown in the United Kingdom.
Ghosthouse commissioned a few young directors (myself included) to put together a series of shorts that had to be: scary, seen clearly on a small screen, and under two minutes long. Not the easiest of propositions. I had no budget and zero time to work on it, but I think Jack and Kristin did alright. I have a soft spot in my heart for this one.
Starring Tove Christensen and Vail Bloom. Directed by me. Produced in November of 2005.
