Liquid Dreams 2024
A project of mine from years ago that I recently recovered the assets for and remastered for 4K, with new grade work, and reworked sound design. A compilation of black and white 16mm shot in Bozeman, MT, scanned in at 2K. My days were study and my evenings and weekends were dishwashing at a deli. On those nights I'd slip into the motions and just daydream of being anywhere else, doing anything else. In hindsight there was a certain serenity to the monotony.

Lurker 2021
Hardest thing I've ever done, made in the wake of losing my grandmother to COVID and my cat to a rare disease, coincidentally a coronavirus in cats called FIP. A lot of very generous people helped me make this and I am forever grateful. I learned more making this than any class I took in film school. I love and hate it, and I think it's beautiful.
My DP, Sam, envisioned it better than I could and my editor, Jack,…

Mickey 17 2025
Obvious, but just cutting and enjoyable enough. I've been a fan of Bong nearly as long as I've been a fan of movies so maybe I'm letting him slide a little. Not nearly as annoying as advertised and has a surprising amount of Starship Troopers in its DNA. I liked it.

Megalopolis 2024
Total mess that I hesitate to call a complete disaster based on its audacity, insanity, and occasionally rousing imagery. Also has some pretty genuinely funny moments. The kind of movie that constantly flops between worst and best of the year material. Has the naïvety and downright moronic ideas that only a multi-millionaire or aging liberal has, in this case both. This is more or less a $120m Neil Breen movie, monologues and all. I can't say I wasn't entertained, but I'm not so sure it was in a way Coppola intended. Every time someone said "megalon" all i could think of was him.

Alien: Romulus 2024
The moment this opened with the wreckage of a ship in space just for light to gleam across its surface revealing NOSTROMO I knew this was cooked. Not an ounce of this thing is its own, not even the good parts of which there are very few. Reverent image after reverent image, homage after homage, every ounce of iconography squeezed bone dry. Absolutely bloodless and gutless. And this is all before the genuinely freakish abomination that is the CG Ian Holm android Rook (haha get it?). Fucking sucks, essentially. There is one bad Alien.
