NARRATIVE
We All Die Alone
The hubris of an inept conflict negotiator ignites an 8-way standoff between two warring gangs, yielding both comical and tragic outcomes in this whip-smart short. Originating from a 48-hour film festival, Jonathon approached me to craft a scripted version with a Martin Scorsese-inspired aesthetic. The result is a delightful blend of farce and drama. Garnering multiple awards, the film is now streaming online.

Singularity
In the midst of a war between humans and sentient androids, a Delta Force team must battle a dangerous enemy to rescue the US President. Meticulously crafted over numerous weekends with the generous support of friends. Shot on 35mm, its distinctive aesthetic was achieved through Cross-Processing, a 2-stop push, and a 90-degree shutter angle.
Director: Samuel Jorgensen Producer: Jeremy Pronk
