Silent Rain In The Ninth

Is a day in the life of a compulsive gambler who is facing old age and the opinions of others. The daily visits to the track provide a structure and “juice” that the man cannot happily live without. Enjoy a hidden “easter egg” track of ambient sound from a trip to the race track.


Multi-Facial

Brought actor/director Vin Diesel to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who promptly cast him in “Saving Private Ryan.” Versatile Vin has since worked on “Iron Giant,” “Boiler Room,” and the sci-fi action adventure “Pitch Black.”


Buy My Film

Presents a blatant plea in mixed media animation by a filmmaker who really wants to sell out and go commercial. Full merchandising, soundtrack, and action figures included.


That Strange Person

Captures the odd occasion of catching your reflection in a window or mirror and not knowing who that person is. Colorful cut-out and cel animation gives the viewer a dreamy sense of vertigo.


The Job

Is a close look at racism based on actual conflicts in Texas in the early 1970s. An Elvis impersonator and a “good ole boy” set out on a job for the boss, the nature of which becomes chillingly clear.


Erik Friedlander

Contemporary jazz cellist, shares with us the creative process of composing and the joy of performing with his unique band.
