Un Chien Debaser (2025)
Tarnishing the visual arts, one frame at a time.
In 1929, Luis Buñuel released a silent, Un Chien Andalou. In 1989, The Pixies released a song based on the film, “Debaser.” This turns the song back into a silent, with surrealism in spades.

Night Shift (2024)
Procrastination through altruism!
Chuck's friend Kite is having a rough night, but he doesn't know how to help, so he puts off seeing them. Then, to ease his conscience, he finds odd jobs to do for other people.
434 (2024)
One road. One day. Twenty miles.
For Rocio Guay, New York State Highway Route 434 less cuts through her hometown so much as it is her hometown. Here, armed with a cheap camcorder, she tries to understand it—by walking all 20.89 miles of it in one day. What follows is a slow, heartfelt, descent into suburban self-abasement.
Note: the Vimeo-hosted version is compressed from the original.
Butcher / Taker / Personhood Maker (2024)
Slash and stitch.
Transness is often defined by an opposition to one's own body, that for a trans person, their body is inherently "wrong." Is there any hope for a less self-mutilating perspective?
A Little Too Deadname (2023)
When allyship goes too far.
After an electric scooter runs Rose down, she forgets her deadname. The problem? She needs it to change her legal name. To make matters worse? No one wants to be the one to say it.
