    During a routine visit to his estranged Grandfather’s house, a young Boy accidentally destroys a gift with which his single-mother intended to win Grandfather back into her life.

  • The Urge 2: It Lies Within

    During a bizarre series of events, a vampire discovers that harmless humans, forest creatures and even his own body have turned against him.

  • Angst

    The story of the exquisite torture suffered by high school students on a daily basis. Our hero is both sullen and gay. He feels isolated and alienated but he is not alone – they’re all caught up in a big daisy chain of unrequited love and teen trauma.

  • Fairyland

    A whimsical journey into a land of beauty and nonsense.

  • Aileron

    A take on the myths of Sisyphus and Ophiuchus. The filmmaker imparts the ending of a motion to a rolling ball and likening it to that of psychosis that can be described as a giant rolling boulder. This “boulder” is symbolized by a medicine ball in the film.

  • Arrested Decay

    A film based on a novella of the same name by the filmmaker. A video poem where nations of dilapidated buildings is the focus and the richest peaceful nation lives in substandard housing and has an inadequate food supply.

  • Dear Tree

    A video poem about clear-cutting forestry and its effects on the air we breathe. The film draws parallels between present day and the renaissance.

  • Desert Road

    Sage hangs from a rear-view mirror to impart wisdom while a prayer for peace meets mysticism. All things that are left wild are better left untouched by the fingerprint of Man as he travels to a burning oasis in the desert only to find his vision cleansed as he looks further.

  • Drawing A Blank

    A psychedelic B&E leaves a sketchbook open and results in a lot of questions. A paradoxical sacrifice is made when one is committed to the page. Does one make high art, for the main stream or low brow art?
