These are some of my movies, best viewed in full-screen mode in the dark.




The Plants Are Listening - Trailer (2014, 4:37)

Philosophical insights give way to moments of lush cinematic reverie in this breezy
narrative shot in southwest Florida. In the midst of watching a dog (Kaji the Dog),
phoning a pretty girl (Dominique Joelle), and entertaining a neighbor (Robin
Morrissey-Jones), eccentric twins Simon and Dave (writer-director Dave Andrae)
become immersed in intriguing conversations while amusing themselves and also, to
varying degrees, those around them. Colorful and at times humorous, The Plants Are
Listening weaves together a unique array of artistic influences that's oddly
harmonious. Featuring original music by New Zealand singer-songwriter Robert Scott
(of The Bats and The Clean), Vicekopf (a.k.a. Gregory Whitehead), and People's Palms.






Self-Important Empirical Film #3, with Voice-over (2001, 4:28)

A young, down-on-his-luck film student takes his audience on an irreverent,
self-deprecating journey through his innermost thoughts and neuroses.






Robert on his Lunch Break (2010, 23:54)

Robert is a bookish office clerk waiting for a to-go order of food. While getting
a breath of fresh air and staring into space, he's accosted by Bradley, a
disembodied head who begins to belittle him, perhaps telepathically, with petty
insults disguised as good advice.






Fire in the Neighborhood (2012, 00:51)

A colorful fleeting glimpse of a neighborhood housefire that occurred during the
Christmas season of 2012 near the Gulf of Mexico in Florida. Fortunately, no people
or animals died in the fire.






Fugazi's Last Stop in Wisconsin (2010, 2:34)

A kinetic glimpse of the rock band Fugazi tearing it up in Wisconsin during the
Summer of 2001. The original 16mm footage had gone missing for several years,
but was eventually found, scanned, and edited together in 2010.






Ped (2000, 1:56)

An ode to pedestrianism and condensed "city symphony film" shot in the streets
of Milwaukee on 16mm in the autumn of 2000. A few tweaks were made in the spring
of 2020, during quarantine, but the basic film is as it was over twenty years ago.






My Review of The Matrix (2013, 2:20)

A humorous audio review of the 1999 blockbuster The Matrix.
