"Falling Through Air" is the first narrative film I made after moving to Minnesota from New York. Five stories with recurring characters are woven together. Dense dialog, looping timelines, and intersecting subplots are the connecting threads.

Ninety-Nine Pages 2005-2023 (46:00)
My second feature film and a follow-up to "Great Lakes" "Ninety-Nine Pages" was restored, digitized,
and re-released in 2023.

A visual poem about navigating the past
and wondering if things could have been different.
This comedy tracks the eccentric lives of wannabe filmmakers (Carolyn Pool, Charles Hubbell, and Brian Page) and complete strangers (Kate Guentzel and Jim Halloran) who are recruited to act in their nonexistent movie.
