Now it's a Tomato Explosion!



Oh what the heck, I think these tomatoes are exciting to look at both because of their shape and color. I hope you enjoy.

Tuesday in a Moment

Here is my Junior film. It's one part silent movie, one part music video, one part unrequited love story, one part short film. Mix that all together and what do you get? Let me know.

The Garage

This is a music-documentary that we did for class. The assignment was to depict an everyday process happening in real life. We decided to chronicle food getting ordered, made and eaten at a local diner named the Garage. I co-directed, co-shot and co-edited this short with a team of five other people.

Finally, my blog fulfills it's destiny and becomes a place where I can post my movies. The best part? I need to make more movies now!

Here is my favorite movie from college. It's very short and sweet and it's about me not ever doing my school work. Also, it is an "experimental" genre film and therefore indecipherable as a narrative.

Enjoy.

Flickr Badge

Naturally, I did not create this flickr badge but I want to include it as a link for anyone interested in viewing stereo pictures in the future. I will keep making stereograms but I have decided that I will use flickr to display them. This frees me up to focus my blog more on art and films. The exception would be if I come across a particularly outstanding Stereo Photo.
