I produced this short promo for the Olympia Film Festival while I was in school at The Evergreen State College in collaboration with Randy Thompson. All characters and set pieces were fabricated by hand, and the rotoscoped sequence was created using water color on paper, using the first shootout scene in Once Upon a Time in the West as the source footage.  It was selected by festival organizers to be shown in the weeks leading up to the film festival to promote attendance.

Shortly after joining Truckstop Darlin’ on drums, I was tasked with directing a Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording, release, and subsequent tour of the band’s second album.  Not only was the kickstarter campaign successful, beyond the point of our initial goal, it was also featured on Portland’s Fox News Network as part of their nightly broadcast.

I wrote and directed this short film during my junior year at The Evergreen State College. The premise is the difficulty of separation from one’s home and family in the pursuit of one’s own path.  Shot on location in Death Valley, CA, this film was shot entirely on 16mm color negative film, using an old Canon Scoopic camera.
