Listed below are a few of my films that I have made available for viewing in streaming video, just click on the image of the film you want to see
Anomalies of the Unconscious This is the second film of the Anomalies Cycle. It is a hand Painted and manipulated film. I also used the technique of bleaching and batiking of the film emulsion. The footage was then step printed on a J-K Optical Printer. Although similar in style to The Flickering of the Minds Eye I began to experiment more with other colors and different textures such as dried leaves and flowers, hair, insect parts, and a variety of different types of inks and paints. The sound track for this film was preformed by NEGATIVLAND

The Astrum Argentium
This is the third film in a series that is being called the Anomalies cycle. It
is mostly a hand painted and step printed film. I used some footage from a
failed film project that I was working on 10 years prior. I manipulated this
footage with a variety of techniques including painting, bleaching and batiking
of the film emulsion. This time I used stained glass dyes and also experimented
with photographing the growing of crystals with time laps cinematograhy. I also
created the sound design for this film. This film has been screened at dozens of
film festivals around the world including the Seattle International Film
Festival and the International Experimental Film Exposition in Boulder Colorado.

Batteries Not Included
is a film
that I put together early this year, after I made the film I did not know what
to do with it because it is so much different than the Experimental art films
that I am most known for doing. I decided to release this film on the internet
and I thought the best place to do this would be right here on the Internet
Archives. Almost as long as I have been a filmmaker I have also been a film
collector. I have for many years wanted to assemble a collection of vintage
toy commercials into a flowing little feature length film, that feature all of
these wonderful toys from 1950's 1960's and 1970's all of the major toy
companies are represented in this film. Matel, Ideal, Hasbro, Marx, Aurora and
many many others. So strap your self in and take a trip back through your
childhood and you may discover a commercial for a toy that had a kid and my
hope is that it will spark pleasant memory's from those days. 2009, 16mm,
