About me: Minneapolis-based filmmaker and musician. Experimental and short narrative films/music videos. I love the look of Super 8 film and am doing my part to help keep the format alive!
New film in production: "Running of the Llamas"
A documentary celebrating llamas, a unique small-town event, and the people who make it happen. Coming in September, 2008.
What else is there to say, but that Ray rox my world, and I'm going to watch it again and again. Enigmatic Barfly? So prophetic! Ah-HAHAHA... p.s., tell Mr. Bill that he should consider a return to his 90's hair.
The Penultimate scene still rules all!

Ah - thanks for taking me back... waaay back. I remember the day we filmed that short fondly, or rather bits & pieces, as I think the peyote we took to loosen the mood was a little off, but the footage turned out smashing, I think. Missed your presence at Mikey's Korner on All-Hallow's Eve - hope to see you in full force next yr, Ossifer Freier!
Yours,
