For the second year in a row, I made a submission to the annual “253 Film Competition” put on by The Grand Cinema in Tacoma… but this time, I collaborated with my brother, Kyle! Like much of my favorite media, it’s funny, spooky, set in Washington State, and riffs on social media celebrities. Hope you enjoy!
As usual, entrants had 72 hours to make a film no longer than 253 seconds, containing four common elements not revealed until the metaphorical starting pistol went off — this time around, that was:
1) An election or vote 2) The phrase “break a leg” 3) Something you can’t see 4) A flag
A horror artists Discord server I’m a part of — which is what’s been the impetus for most of my creative output this year so far — does semi-biweekly prompts. One recently was “SLEEPLESS,” so I made… whatever this is, capitalizing on my oddly specific (but, I think, reasonable) fear of things that shouldn’t have human eyes but do.
I like poetry, horror, and mysterious images… I think I’m getting the hang of combining them like this!
Happy New Year, all! It’s time for my annual media lists, now in video form! Sticking with films and games this year – simple rundowns below, but check out my channel for more in-depth analyses, and be sure to like and subscribe if you want to see more!
Long time no post! Admittedly, as I get busier with work and focusing on YouTube and Instagram content, this blog has grown dusty. Is there even a place for a WordPress in this age of short, swift tweets ‘n TikToks?
Seems there’s hope for the former, at least! Spurred by the “#CursedFootage” challenge started by Eduardo Valdés-Hevia, a splendid horror artist I follow, I decided to use the ten themed days to explore an idea I’ve had for a while–and mixed-(social) media “found footage” proved to be the perfect format. It’s best if you go in cold, but in short, it combines my fascinations with modern conspiracy theories, creepypasta, and uncanny/liminal architecture.
If the above picture intrigues you, read the rest below… and remember: this is all fiction, and yet are you sure that dent in the back of your closet was always there?
Stumbled on this weird case file in my firm’s digital records. Posting screenshots cuz I can’t leak any privileged info, but… for a landlord/tenant property damage claim, this deposition transcript is freaking me out. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/WtoIxVJ7qp
