Inheritance

Inheritance · 2005

MovieDocumentaryWar

In an impassioned message from the grave, one concentration camp Liberator forces us to remember the horror humanity is capable of. Utilizing actual photos from the Buchenwald concentration camp, and a soulful performance by Harrison Young, Inheritance is a gut-wrenching experience that not only informs, but puts the burden of defending humanity squarely on the viewer.

Glazed

Glazed, delves into the psyche of a listless veteran trapped in the past, yet fighting to live in the present. Through haunting images of war and love, we see the torment a soldier puts himself through as he tries to find a reason to go on.

The Specimen

The Specimen · 2012

Based on actual events, The Specimen is a comedic short film about a would-be father, a public restroom, and his intimate moment with a specimen cup. In this less than ideal backdrop, he has to battle his performance anxiety, overcome interruptions, and decide how far he’s truly willing to go to become a dad. This is going to be awkward.
