Current Work

As my short animation Beacon was shown publicly, I updated here.  As of 2026 I have now stopped submitting this film to festivals, but it is an IMDB listed film. I am currently working on Signal, which is the companion piece to Beacon. 

In Beacon, industrial artifacts set in a lonely landscape continue operation over time despite the absence of an obvious purpose. This semi abstracted narrative focuses on time, and the inherent beauty of all forms. In Signal, the autonomous objects become more clearly defined, revealing a clear purpose, in a post-ecocatastrophic landscape. 

Beacon and Signal are 3D animations produced using Side Effects Houdini, Maya, and purchased assets. All geometry is polygonal, and the grasses and landscapes were produced procedurally. All matte paintings were produced using Adobe Photoshop. The work is edited using Adobe Premiere. Other than the music, the soundscape was recorded by me with a H1n recorder, or were purchased assets through Pond 5.
