Vertical Valor

2023

Between writing and shooting this, Russia did actually invade Ukraine so not sure if that makes the short less funny or funnier. Released on NoBudge on 4/20 and then publicly on Memorial Day. Very important stuff, please enjoy.

Squirrel

2019

Squirrel’s my latest short (as of typing this). It had an insanely cool festival run, including playing Sundance and winning the Grand Jury Prize for Best Short at Fantastic Fest. Starring Andrea Rosen, Max Jenkins, and Ted Tremper, it’s easily one of my favorite things I’ve ever made. I’m excited that it’s finally online (Vimeo Staff Pick, Short of the Week, No Budge) and glad that you get to watch and tell me what you think.

Ear Ache

2020

Right after Squirrel, I wanted to make something that’s the exact opposite so here it is! DeMorge Brown gives a tour-de-force performance. This might be my best short.

Cool Dad

Adult Swim, 2018

This is one of those Adult Swim stand-alones that they air at 4am. It's a throwback to 90s father-son family comedies like Liar Liar. Check this out if you wanna watch Jerry O'Connell crush it for 11 minutes.

Gilbert’s Little Christmas

2019

Impulsively made this video last second as a Christmas present to you all. Probably the last great film made this decade.
