New Trailer Alert
Here’s a trailer for a short film I’ve been working on for quite some time – like my whole life if you think about it. I plan on sending the film out to festivals and other places soon. Wish me luck.
Very special thanks to:
Theresa Calpotura – original score
Rae Steinwand – animation
Jacob Winik – mastering
Dream of Sailing
“Dream of Sailing” is a short poetry-film set in a faraway hospital where the narrator, recently returned from war, imagines a life at sea. But will he ever leave the confines of the infirmary?
Thanks to everyone who played a part in creating this film.
E Is for What???
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!
Pass the Popcorn
I’m looking forward to checking out a screening today of “This is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco as part of the local short film collection at the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival (1:30pm, PST).
My film is also playing on Dec 9 at the 4 Star in San Francisco with a group of animated shorts.
Can’t make it to SF? That’s okay, you can see the film online later in December at the official website of the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival.

Festival Alert: Giant Rock X 2
“Giant Rock” is a strange film. It’s not for everyone. But that’s okay. I love this film anyway – in all its slow, otherworldy, desert-dream-vision strangeness.
All of which brings me to the point of this post, which is…
I was very excited last night to receive word that “Giant Rock” has been selected by two film festivals… the First Contact Film Festival and the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation & Technology.
Thank you to them both for presenting “Giant Rock” to the world.
Dublin World Premiere
Grateful and humbled to hear the news today that “This Is Where We’ll Build the Labyrinth” has been named an Official Selection for the 2023 Bloomsday Film Festival and will receive its world premiere screening in Dublin, Ireland between June 12 – 16.
Thank you to the Bloomsday Film Festival and thank you to everyone who played a part in making this short film.
Best Covid Film
Thanks to the San Francisco Arthouse Short film festival for naming “Then Came the Firestorm” as their Best Covid Film for January 2023.
It seems like it was so long ago when I ventured into the empty city streets with my iPhone to film scenes from another world. But wait… it wasn’t another world. It was our world, wracked by the pandemic that lingers still.
On the Big Screen
Super fun to see my short animated film “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” on the big screen at the 4 Star Theatre… thanks to Another Hole in the Head Film Festival for the fun event and Q&A session.
After seeing so many movie theaters shut down over the years, it’s wonderful to see the 4 Star back in business.
If you missed it on the big screen… Another Hole in the Head Film Festival 2022 plays online until Dec 18. You can watch “Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade” as part of the Strictly Local 3 group of films.
