PAPERCUTS STREAMING PREMIERE DATE SET!

 I am pleased to announce Papercuts - My Life as an Indie Animator will be coming to Fandor on August 11th!

 I am thrilled to join their growing collection of arthouse films. The service has a growing curated collection of animated films too! Papercuts will be in fine company indeed.

 

NEW DOUBLE FEATURE READY TO ROLL! 

I am pleased to announce a new double feature cut of my first two films; Path of Blood & Attack of the Demons. 

This is a special version of both films that tie together thematically via the "Movie Tron" cut of Path of Blood featuring animated commercials set within the world of Attack of the Demons, paired with a brand new Director's Cut of AotD that quickens the pace and tweaks a lot of things that make for a very fun and brisk new version (I think it's my favorite!). 

I am hoping to screen this double feature in theaters this fall, with help from any film programmers out there! (PLEASE email me if interested in booking).

MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE!

COYOTE REVERIE - ALL CATS ARE GRAY

A son makes one final drive to the ocean with his mother’s ashes, retracing fragments of the past along the way. 

Unknown to him, Miso the cat sneaks into the car and quietly joins the journey, becoming an unexpected companion through grief, memory, love, and healing.

 

 

 

WHEN YOU GET TO THE FOREST BLU RAY NOW AVAILABLE! 

VISIT VINEGAR SYNDROME TO GRAB YOUR COPY HERE

After getting lost in the forest of distribution for 3 years, our sweet and gentle film has finally found its way! We have joined with Cartuna to release a lovely Blu Ray of the film with lots of fun extras (take that streamers!).
Be sure to grab the limited slipcover edition with a gorgeous illustration by Bela Unclecat! I was so thrilled when she agreed to do this illustration for the release, being one of my favorite illustrator/animators.
As of right now, this is the only way to see our film. I am of the mind that this film works best when not interrupted by relentless ads, so have been hesitant to agree to distribution on streamers. Still looking for that future streaming home that will treat the film well. 

 

This is a region free Blu Ray, btw, so it'll work no matter where you live in the world.
I can't wait to get my own copy!

July Update

 Greetings! 

Lots to talk about this month. 

The big news is that my short film Brambletown, made with the Okee Dokee Brothers is debuting on PBS Kids! 

The project, a full year in the making, tells the story of Fox and Badger, two friends returning home to find a changed Brambletown. The film is an emotional and ultimately hopeful look at the roles we play in each other's lives, our own self discovery, handling life's curve balls, the impact we have on our environment, and our ability to create change. Did I mention it is BURSTING with wonderful music?

 The next bit of news comes in the form of an official acceptance to a film festival in my hometown of El Paso, The El Paso Film Festival! Woohoo! My two parter music video Carry The Spark, made for the amazing group Coyote Reverie, is going to grace the silver screen in late September. I am extremely proud of this one and cannot wait to share the epic tale real soon. 

Lastly, I'd be remiss to mention the completion of Papercuts, which is now out to festivals! Hoo boy, this one... it's something extra special. A true labor of diy filmmaking and easily the most personal project to date. Look for news on screenings (fingers crossed) in the coming months.

May Update

 There's been a lot going on in the studio lately. I am wrapping a sweet new music video consisting of some of the most detailed nature work I've done yet. So fun! I am also chipping away at Papercuts and recently surpassed the hour mark! Getting close. Some good news is on the way from the Brambletown project I worked on all of 2022 as well and a very special double feature music video I completed last year is going to be released soon. 

I'm still looking for a home for When You Get To The Forest. I remain hopeful that we will be able to share this very special feature with you soon. Patience has always been the name of the game in this wild world of animation and it's almost time for all that patience to pay off. Can't wait to share these films with you all! 

Papercuts!
