“Fear is Loading” - About Live

Completed on a micro-budget as my thesis film for SUNY Oswego's film undergraduate degree, LIVE.com updates the voyeurism of the classic slasher to the digital age. In the age of the internet, we're all "peeping Toms".

Scary stories used to be told around campfires, but now we listen to them, sitting in the glow of a screen instead of a fire. There's something about that experience, combined with the late nights that fostered it, that was deeply nostalgic to me, but also deeply strange.

LIVE is meant to evoke that strangeness. Grain, chromatic aberration, and vivid colors create a dream-like reality, just slightly out of step with our own. I sought to evoke both the comfort and dread of late nights, when you're just too tired to fall asleep.

“Can I Get Another Slice?” - About Pizza Cutter

Pizza Cutter is a bite-sized slasher. An explosion of color and sound. Taking my favorite parts of slasher and giallo horror and filtering them through my vision of an anachronistic 4th of July night.

Shot in the final weeks of school with a group of close friends, and edited, colored, and sound designed solo. It was made with the same fighting spirit that got me and that gang through film school.

It's absurd without being over-the-top. It's beautiful without being clean. It's quick, vicious fun like the best slashers.

“Memories Bleeding Together” - About Mouthbreather

I set out to challenge myself by shooting a film docu-style entirely MOS. The end product is a mish-mash of genres, interests, moments, and feelings, bleeding together.
