Student Projects
All That Remains (2012)
A group of three bounty hunters in the early twentieth century have become wanted men.
Times change and the law changes with it.
"This is my pride and joy. I spent the entire year of 2012 making this student project which features a truck-driving uncle who stepped in on the day of shooting to play a main character, our high-school english teacher as the antagonist, and my belated older brother as a henchmen. This student project represents me as a filmmaker. My first truly original short film will likely resemble this."

COLD trailer (2013)
Four survivors exists in different corners of the wasteland. That is, until fate forces their lives to clash.
"This film trailer really captures the essence of the long lost film. We had an incredible amount of support surrounding this project which ended with a successful full house premiere. Sadly, this was at a time when cloud storage was still a new concept to me. Long story short, the single hard drive that held this film and the folder for the project was destroyed and the film itself along with it. I never got to upload it online. All I had left was this trailer still on the desktop of my laptop. So here it is. I still love this trailer."

Crooks (2013)
Three clueless criminals don't commit a crime.
Then they find one.
"This is another student project I made back in 2013. I had a lot to learn at the time, and still do, but it's my only attempt at live action dark comedy and it greatly represents my storytelling ideas. What is most interesting about this student project is that the actors are classmates that I hardly knew and they hardly knew each other. We were strangers on an out-of-state field trip in Kansas and we were each representing different highschools from Maine. We ended up being stuck at our hotel for two extra nights on the way home. I had all of my camera gear including a pint of fake blood which TSA allowed me to fly with. I wrote this story in a single afternoon in the room, we filmed it that evening, I edited it within a few hours, and then we had a mini premiere together around midnight on the hotel lobby TV with hotel lobby snacks.
It was a really cool experience."

The Garden (2014)
A young mercanary arrives to a homestead in search of his target; a crazed and escaped war criminal who is lying low in the countryside.
"This student project was made in the summer of 2014 and it is a personal favorite. It is another early attempt to use digital assets and live-action muzzle flashes for guns, which really didn't come out great, although I learned a lot from it. However, I got my friends to do some pretty ridiculous shit from my imagination and I believe it is a wildly entertaining seven minutes."
