Happy to announce! "The First Ten" receives another accolade as Honorable Mention in the 2026 Frights! Camera! Action! Horror Screenplay Contest! https://www.frightscameraactionff.com/july-2026

"The First Ten" is now a Finalist for the Zepstone International Film & Music Festival!

Animated sensation Alien Bob does stand up! Testing his comedy chops on this planet might be harder than navigating the universe. With sharp wit, sharper teeth, and a warped understanding of humankind, Alien Bob just might be the next Jerry Seinfeld!

In the vein of Pixar storytelling and style, this animated short shows how every moment is a true blessing and for every trial there is happiness. Enjoy and appreciate them all!

A fun little project that merged old school artistry with a few new tech tools... "He was America’s first animated superstar… until he wasn’t. This mockumentary uncovers the forgotten rise and spectacular collapse of Sir Bigsby Fox, undone by greed, incompetence, and a disastrous agreement involving pancakes that nearly erased him from history." https://lnkd.in/ge_yfcpR
