The Axe and the Trees
My interpretation of this timeless fable as relates to the current American political class.

Diarrhea 2.0 star, Claude Parsley, steps into the role of carnival-style barker in this hastily-assembled, frenetically-paced throwback to the 80s. Click here for a peek behind the scenes.
Ragged Old Flag
A couple of years ago I found a piece of music that really knocked me out. It was so beautiful, I held onto it, saving it for the right project. Some time later, I came across a clip of Johnny Cash on the Ralph Emery show in 1989 where he recited his poem, “Ragged Old Flag.” I’d heard it before but not in this way — with no background music and no cheering crowd. I found it especially powerful, so much so, that I decided putting images to this exceptional poem would be my next project. I retrieved that piece of music I’d been hoarding and paired it with Johnny’s voice and it felt like magic.
All told, the project took 8 months to complete (due to the fact that I have a day job) with hundreds of hours in front of the screen pounding pixels. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and consider it an honor to have my images accompany the American legend that is Johnny Cash.
Diarrhea on the Planet Kolob 2.0
It’s 2021, precisely twenty years after “Diarrhea on the Planet Kolob” made its dishonorable debut. This stunning remake faithfully pays homage to the craptastic original with updated artwork, a great VO, better animation and way, way more pixels. “Diarrhea 2.0″ also features a cast change as longtime friend and talented thespian, Claude Parsley, takes the lead role and drops the deuce of a lifetime.
What Is Motion MoFo?
I started making movies when I was 12. That was in the early 80’s before the video revolution kicked in. When 1987 rolled around, I scraped up the cash to purchase my first video camcorder and from that point on, the shooting never stopped. To satisfy my unholy appetite to purchase more equipment, I produced truly wretched videos of graduations, retirement parties, real estate videos, corporate videos, and the most dreadful of all, wedding videos. Those productions were moonlighting expeditions in the shadow of my day job all of which helped support the gear I was buying. The real fun, and ultimate goal was to tap that creative charge I got out of working on my own side projects.
Now, decades later, I’m still making moving pictures for a living and the “side project” is as cathartic as it was back in the day. The purpose of this endeavor is to provide a repository for side projects I’ve produced through the years and will continue to produce and share with anyone interested in watching.
