Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project
Interweaving the forms of personal filmmaking, abstract animation, and the rock opera, this animated musical documentary examines the rise and fall of a nearly-defunct poster and postcard wholesale business; the changing role of physical objects and virtual data in commerce; and the division (or lack of) between abstraction in fine art and psychedelic kitsch. Using alternate lyrics as voice over narration, the piece adopts the form of a popular rock album reinterpreted as a cine-performance.

Yard Work Is Hard Work
A 28-minute musical that explores simultaneous disillusionment and hope in glorious color and song.

Posthaste Perennial Pattern
Rapid-fire florals and morning bird songs bridge interior and exterior, design and nature.
Let Your Light Shine
Eye candy as a special treat. Let Your Light Shine is the ultimate Spectrum Short film, a photokinetic stroboscopic spectacle for spectacles. A work in the tradition of the absolute animation film of the 1930s, which requires prismatic glasses to achieve the maximum result.

Blanket Statement #1: Home Is Where the Heart Is
Discordant dysfunction down to the nitty griddy.

Wasteland No. 1: Ardent Verdant
The interconnected circuitry. The aggregated flora. Alternating currents of the visual field.
Unsubscribe Nø. 4: The Saddest Song in the World
Broken-hearted and mashed up.

Glistening Thrills
A shiny otherworld of holographic reverie pairs dollar store gift bags and haunting resound, unfolding an effervescent melancholy in three parts. Mesmerising RGB bling-bling for the cinema, featuring compositions for bowed vibraphone by Elliot Cole.

Undertone Overture
'Tie-dye' film study. Psychedelic patterns and colours mix on the various materials then explode onto the retina. The 16mm material perfectly captures the details of the materials.

Blanket Statement #2: It's All or Nothing
A quilted call and response. A battle of extreme extremes.

Point de Gaze
Named after a type of Belgian lace, this spectral study investigates intricate illusion and optical arrest.
