EXPERIMENTAL
A Blinking Existence (2021)
Experimental Short Film
Logline: A door appears in darkness as your final distorted visions blink before you.
This is an experimental short I made using footage from an unreleased short I made for a community college filmmaking class in 2016. It was interesting looking back at that old footage after all these years have passed and I've learned so much about filmmaking than I knew then. Looking at all of that footage, I essentially pieced it together into something completely different that I believe is much stronger and comes from a place of greater experience.

In Other News... (2018)
Experimental Short Film
Logline: Sporadic recollections of childhood, distorted by time, tainted by the darkness of the world.
This is an experimental short I cut together using footage from videos I made with my friends in middle school. It was mostly a random assemblage of clips, but it also served as an exercise in making something dark and uncomfortable using only childhood videos.

Earth in Review (2018)
Experimental Short Film
Logline: Incoming transmission from our Alien Overlords: a look at some observations of the planet Earth and a decision on whether to renew or close.
This was my minimalist attempt to create a simulation of an alien transmission using footage shot entirely in my house. It was a learning experience in planning out an experimental concept.

A Silent Rhythm (2018)
Experimental Short Film
An experimental short I cut together using stock footage. I edited the footage to a "rhythm" to give the feel of a visual "song" with no audio.
