About me:

I'm one of Ohio’s tallest filmmakers and have been creating homemade short films & videos for almost the better part of most of a decade. My early shorts were full of zombies and space men but my recent work is more focused on the sincere and silly moments of everyday life, though inward fantasy tends to dominate reality. My films typically incorporate some kind of “hands-on” method such as animation, collage or optical printing (the more archaic the better) and I record original soundtracks with banjos, casios and slidey guitars.

My short films have screened at festivals across the Midwest, Canada and Europe including the Chicago Underground Film Festival, Athens Film + Video Festival, James River Festival of the Moving Image, Cucalorus Film Festival and Flicker Chapel Hill. My work is featured regularly in regional micro-cinemas and art spaces including the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit and the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus. I've never won a major award but have racked up a butt-load of honorable mentions.

I just finished an experimental collage film called inside out/side one. It's a 4.5 minute nostalgia chunk that explores the texture and tangled-up nature of memory.

Lastest but not leastest, I've had some recent mentions in the Columbus Alive newspaper...
T-shirt of Me is a "Things We Love"
