convalescent, an experimental short film made together with @foreignfishes is out now: watch here. find it on letterboxd.

this project has been a long time coming. it has changed shape and transformed so much along the way, but it is finally here and I couldn’t be more excited to share. this has been an incredibly affirming journey as a creator, and I feel as if I’m breaching a threshold in my process, in developing and growing. the short itself is emblematic of that: a healing process through reflection and transformation.

we filmed this entirely on a small digital camera definitely not designed for filmmaking, but the video compression and digital artifacting almost gave it a film-like color profile and feel, so we fell in love with it. the film’s thesis is entirely of my partner’s mind, while I worked mostly behind the scenes, but we were both inspired by similar films such as possession (1981), carnival of souls (1962), inland empire (2006), and outer space (1999), to name a few. I hope that if you enjoy those films, you enjoy ours.

thank you for your time. <3

finished reading crash. it recontextualized the film for me, something I’ve held dearly, revealing so much more of the cracks in the asphalt. such raw energy; I feel such a closeness with ballard’s writing style, his methodical approach with brash, colorful language. vaughan is a disgusting vision of man. vehicles are our bodies and we are one with their metal flesh. we all live as voyeurs of chaos. oh the filth and grime of it all. I’ve skimped out on literature for far too long. all it took was reading a quintessential piece of freak lit 101 to reel me back in.

gonna rewatch the film tonight. might transcend we’ll see.

drafting the script now

i need a tv show/book/etc that’s post apocalyptic fiction but instead of war or plague or whatever dramatic shit , it’s just global warming accelerating the growth of kudzu to where it completely swallows half of america so everyone is trying to get by while climbing through their choked out ghost towns that look like a lush jungle now. the government has fallen apart so every one is just lawless and fending for themselves. most people with the means to do it have fled to the west where it can’t grow but the few people who have stayed in the abandoned eastern side of america are just going batshit crazy on each other. preferably it’d be set in the south or in appalachia. i need more quiet apocalypse media, where are the survivors in the middle of nowhere living out their little scavenger lives. everyone starts living off the kudzu berry jam.
