This film embraces plant sentience as fact and speculates how beings of the vegetal variety might approach interspecies communication with humans (who are far more sensorially limited). Leaves, mycelium, and roots playfully examine how humans experience the world, and the (supposedly) silent watchers consider what language those swift blurs of human might possibly understand.

"Resurrection under the Ocean" is about the resurrection of a man who was helplessly sinking to the bottom of the ocean, after falling to the bottom of the ocean, with a symbolic narrative.

War. Fragility. Instruction Abidance. Intuition. Digitalization. Dichotomous decision paths. What would we do if we were given the freedom to direct possibilities?

This intimate portrait of the inner life of a young artist explores the angst and ecstasy of the creative path. As The Muse shares his deepest secrets, passions and fears, the viewer shares in a deeply personal exploration of life, vulnerability and love. Through an unstructured narrative, this film asks what it means to tell a story and what it means to be alive.

A reflection on childhood and growing up in the Pacific Northwest.

A poetic examination of the collector’s impulse, the need to map out the world by identifying the objects, people, and works of art which define one’s sensibility. Choices made in childhood have a definitive effect on the lens through which you view the world. Dissolving all sensory impressions into a saturated solution allows the touchstones of one’s sensibility to appear spontaneously, like crystals. A Collection of Eccentricities unfolds in the form of a poetic dialog, taking place within a landscape of swirling, flaring skirts, maps covered with red pins, millstones which grind fruit into books, and many other signs of the building of one’s personal topography.

‘Night Ride from LA’ is based on a real car ride at night from downtown LA to the desert near Palm Springs a few years ago. The footage was taken from the car by continually shooting single long exposure photos to document the ride of about two hours without any break. This technique condensed the whole trip to a flickering twirl of time-stretched movements and night light graffiti causing a kind of psychedelic trance. A love letter to the energy and vibe of the Californian way of life.

“Lunar” is an evocative mood piece centered on a speech prepared for Richard Nixon, to be read in the event that the Apollo 11 mission failed and the astronauts did not survive. The speech was intended to be delivered to the nation on television in the event of such a tragedy.

Following the issuance of Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, there was a brief window of time when Japanese Americans could “voluntarily” evacuate away from the West Coast. Approximately 5,000 men, women and children avoided incarceration by self-evacuating, but faced their own unique challenges as they attempted to resettle in often remote landscapes and battled poverty, hostility and racial violence. Before They Take Us Away is the first documentary to chronicle this largely unknown chapter in the Japanese American experience.
