Very honored to announce that my film “Sweet Dreams” was given a jury special mention for Best Animated Short Award for the Atlanta Film Festival. Here are some kind words from the jurors. @atlantafilmfestival
“We’re grateful to this aggressively handmade, anti-perfectionist film, which came as a total refreshment in an age of blown-out AI smoothness. It is a grotesque and hyper-conscious fever dream; a distillation of our modern world and American culture.”
It was a great honor to screen my film “Sweet Dreams” as part of the animated shorts block for the Atlanta Film Festival in its 50th year this weekend. Very special to be part of this amazing program. It was nice to have some of my family there with me to share the experience as well. Thank you.

It was a great blessing to receive a fellowship from the Virginia Museum of Fine Art last year. It’s a great honor and I look forward to making more art in the future. @vmfamuseum

A Bleeding razor. Curtains shut. No one’s home. Your faraway kisses around my neck. We never could say what was coming down the line. Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don’t know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It’s that terrible precision that we hate so much.But because we don’t know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
