Batman Puppet Master

Batman: Puppet Master is a short fan film I produced set in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight universe. The story is meant as a sequel to The Dark Knight and that takes place between  that film and The Dark Knight Rises. This is a film created by fans for fans and it delivers an exciting storyline that will introduce fans to new versions of Mr. Zsasz, The Ventriloquist, and Edward Nigma (aka The Riddler), who fans were expecting to appear in Nolan's third Batman film.

Mary Anne Goes to the Market

When Mary Anne walks into the local supermarket, she charms those around her and turns their ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones; however, one tough nut proves hard to crack.

Negotiations

During what seems to be a routine hostage situation, Tom Bennett, LA's top negotiator, comes face to face with his estranged son in the middle of an intense standoff.

Negotiations is an award winning short film that I co-wrote and directed as my thesis film for my MFA at Chapman University.

The Puppet Actor

The Puppet Actor is a series of mockumentary style behind the scene videos that I wrote and directed for the web series "LearningTown" airing on the popular Youtube channel, Geek&Sundry.

Ill Conceived Plan

Making babies is hard to do...especially when neither of you want to.

A short comedy I wrote and directed for Zoe Films.

Feeding Mr. Baldwin

Feeding Mr. Baldwin is an independent feature film I co-produced currently on the festival circuit.

Clapp Your Hands

Right wing music critic Hal Clapp (Bob Odenkirk) interrogates The Soft Pack during their Los Angeles Bed-In advocating album peace.

This was my second collaboration with Bob Odenkirk and producing has never been more fun. We shot this largely improvised interview all in one day to promote The Softpack's new album.

Till Death Do Us Part

A married couple solves their problems in an unorthodox fashion.

HA/LF
