Film
I was trained as an animator, so I take a very visually-driven and hand-made approach to filmmaking. I often shoot in archaic media, including 16mm, Super 8, DV, and VHS, merging these with digital processes. I build complex in-camera effects and construct atmospheric imagery with elaborate sets and costumes. I collaborate with a small group of amazing creative people as we chip away at ambitious long-term projects over many years.
Saints of the Old City
This feature length film constructs and deconstructs a founding mythology for the city of Brockton. Following a nameless, wordless protagonist, known only as the “Green Figure,” through a series of mysterious encounters, we discovers his role in the cycle of destruction and rebirth the city is forced to relive.
This is a work in progress. Shot on 16mm and Super 8.
Accretion
In this short film, a character stalks the banks of the Chelsea River, building an underwater henge from parts of the city that have washed ashore.
Shot on Super 8.
