Here I am with Saverio Zumbo and Roberto Lasagna, longtime festival organizers for video essays in Italy. We just screened my film, MURDERGAME to an audience of mostly film students, before which I read a director’s statement in Italian (video to surface later?)

Every time I watch this I'm weirdly intrigued by how much water gets in the bag... @bolddecade.bsky.social
"is it a humorous piece? Disturbing? What is the broader context from which this fragment comes? Will it feature in the final essay film or, like the damp loaf, is it now to be discarded?" @bolddecade.bsky.social's fragment in our 2nd collection. Read more here fragments.video/2025/06/19/s...

I have no human children. But my video essays are the vessels for my hopes and dreams. So if I have one that is underperforming, I want to give it some spotlight. In this case, I submitted it to the Adelio Ferrero Film Festival, where it won an Honorable Mention! 🚀👁️ youtu.be/LeQYq_Fibm0?...

The larger puzzle involves an anti-consumerist statement, as inspired by the explosive climax of Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point (1970).
“Wondersludge” is a sketch for a scene in my upcoming VR essay film. It’s presented here, in all its DIY glory. I no longer have the butcher knife.
Our 2nd Collection of experimental videographic practice is now live. 9 fragments (from eight creators) ranging from 35 seconds to an hour. fragments.video

Pretty despicable. Glad I deleted my professional WeTransfer account prior to reading this.
“We can now steal all your creative work. And share it with other thieves”. WeTransfer’s new terms of service are as brazen as they are despicable.
I just deleted my professional account.

DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution

I watched KILLER OF SHEEP and really loved the dreamlike imagery interspersed with the neorealism. It’d make a great double-bill with ERASERHEAD. Two Angeleno visions from 1977.
