Director of COHERENCE and "Shatter Belt"
Joined December 2013
Here's some good news in the human battle. I was hired by a great little company to create ads for Facebook. Supposed to be 100% AI but I lobbied them to become signatory to SAG so we could hire human actors AND THEY DID IT. We hired 8 awesome human actors for 6 spots

If you love bonkers films about time travel and saving the world, please go see GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON'T DIE. Very proud to have helped on this and I'll share some drawings once it's out to the world

I get asked a lot why I'm not making another movie, as if I had funding to jump into another self-financed indie that travels the world. Go see GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON'T DIE and see something I'm extremely proud of helping to get to the finish line.

Aspiring filmmakers. If an actor ever asks for you to send them the dailies. It doesn't matter if they are your best friend. It doesn't matter if they wish they had a bigger credit. It doesn't matter how powerful they are. It doesn't matter how they pressure you. You say NO.

“Shatter Belt” episode 2 is scheduled to drop this Saturday on YouTube. How I spent my pandemic vacation.

With every day that passes it’s more clear how Justin Baldoni was the target of a coordinated campaign to take control of his movie. The one person who said it was time to stop appeasing— the badass Valkyrie EMILY BALDONI. Freaking HERO and all around stellar human.

Wow. MY OLD ASS is fantastic and so perfectly navigates a tone with absolute confidence.

As an indie director, you're not supposed to admit to liking certain films. But RRR, IT ENDS WITH US and TRON: ARES were all WAY better than I was prepared for.

It's always good when a person just comes out and says "I'm a weak, pathetic sycophant." Thank you Margaret Brennan for clarifying!

for anyone who still owes Justin Baldoni an apology, please listen to the tape illegally recorded by Claire Ayoub.

I don't know why "Shatter Belt" sometimes gets more popular in some random month but now I hear the correct order is starting with episode 4 and going in reverse.

I had to keep it quiet that GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN DON'T DIE was the secret screening at Fantastic Fest last night. Finally get to hear some reactions to this thing I got to work on

No one has created AI yet. ChatGPT is not AI. It’s M. M for Mimicry. That’s it.

Some counterprogramming to the summer’s blockbusters: “Titane,” “Coherence” and “Attack the Block.”
