In 2022, Slottje's The Rotting of Casey Culpepper was admitted to the 49th Telluride Film Festival and the Sundance Producers Lab.
The short film (programmed by Telluride) served as Slottje's Columbia University MFA thesis, and was the first horror film in history to be admitted to the festival's prestigious 'Filmmakers of Tomorrow, Student Prints' section before going on to win top prizes at multiple horror film festivals later that year. In 2023, the 14 minute short accrued over 125,000 views after being picked up by and posted on ALTER'S YouTube channel.
His feature screenplay of the same name, (admitted to the Sundance Lab), written and to be directed by Slottje, is in active development in collaboration with producer Matthew R. Cooper, Indus Valley Media, and the Sundance Institute, with partial funding secured.
He is represented by Objectively Good Media and Management, and resides in Los Angeles with his rescue dog, Buoy.
