Narrative
A Los Angeles couple arranges a blind date for their friend - a tentacled, ancient entity disguised in human form. Starring Brooke Smith (The Silence of the Lambs), this short is by turns amusing and unsettling, blending cosmic horror with dark humor to satirize social affectations. Influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft and co-written with Guy Benoit and John Simpson.
The Call of Charlie
Operation Waterfall - The Pee Tapes
Remember the rumored “kompromat” tape allegedly featuring Donald Trump and a hotel room in Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton? America’s last humor magazine - The American Bystander - does. Recently recovered from a box stored at Mar-a-Lago, this supposedly lost footage reveals the audition reel for the covert operation behind it all: Operation Waterfall. Written by David Letterman’s former head writer, Steve Young.
Long-Form Commercials
A musical animated piece of branded content for Bob’s Discount Furniture, inspired by the whimsical style of Schoolhouse Rock!. Sort of. On top of directing this short bit of content, I also created the concept, the melody and the maddening, brainwormy lyrics.
Bob’s Discount Furniture - “Goof Proof”
Bob - the animated spokespuppet for Bob's Discount Furniture - takes a customer looking for a quality mattress on a long, strange tour of “Bob-O-Pedia”. For this campaign, I also created the concept, the melody and the unapologetically catchy lyrics. You can try to forget them, but you will fail.
