“Best Narrative Short” and new LA Screenings

We had a wonderful experience at the Full Bloom Film Festival last weekend, where Lay in Wait won Best Narrative Short. Thank you to the festival organizers, the Statesville City Council, and our fellow filmmakers for this great honor.

In addition, Lay in Wait will be returning to Los Angeles in two back-to-back screenings in early October!

The first will be a SAG Foundation Screening, taking place Friday October 9th, at 1pm. It will be free to all. Click the link to RSVP.

The second will be the Emerson College Los Angeles Film Festival, where Lay in Wait has been selected as a “Best of Fest” film in competition among other alumni films on the festival circuit. The festival will take place all day on Saturday, October 10th. Click the link to register.

I’ll be attending both events, so I hope to see all of our LA based supporters while I’m in town. We’re so proud of the progress we’ve made on the festival circuit this year.

New Residency at Kimmel Harding Nelson

I’m pleased to announce that I have been awarded a new residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City! The residency will compromise the month of March. Stay tuned for what I have planned during that time.

"Clearance" Accepted at No Budget Film Festival

My short film “Clearance” has been accepted to the 5th Annual No Budget Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA. As it might sound, the No Budget Film Festival prides itself on its programmed films having been made for nothing. All resources must be begged, borrowed or stolen.

The Festival is 21st and 22nd. Tickets on sale now!

Announcing my Artistic Residency!

Hello friends,

I’m tremendously proud to announce that, for the first half of 2014, I will be joining three other artists as part of Hub-Bub’s Artist-in-Residency program in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Finally, the space to think critically about my work, unencumbered by the daily grind of a basic income! All of my southern friends are encouraged to meet me for interdisciplinary artistic shenanigans.
