Curt Clendenin's Reel

"WONDER WANDER" is an activator for imaginations I created. Part sketchbook, journal, art educationeer, philosophical reflector, it is an ALL AGES family friendly creativity booster! I self -published it and it's now on Amazon!?!? My co-collaborator, Vince Hickey, is the Official Scientific Editor... https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Wander-DRAW-Curt-Clendenin/dp/B09CRLZMQP

"Unseen Community" is part live action, part animation, half sci-fi, a quarter simulation, five percent public domain/stock footaged, and all of it improvised as it went along. None of it was planned. I drew the art used in 2D animation stuff, and all of it was ran through an app to give it the appearance of being rotoscoped! Paul Edward Pate (aka Pauly Shores from Yachtley Crew) plays the Interplanetary Escapee and Chaz Ruiz (Baba Buoy from Yachtley Crew) plays The Enforcer!

"Mi Familia Es Tu Familia" is an experiment in setting up very cheap cameras in random locations, improvising a premise, and recording it all at once. The sound is shoddy yes, however see if you can still unravel the mystery of what's happening here. It happens fast, and the layers open into a crazy premise before your very eyes. I've loved the look of rotoscoped movies and have wanted to experiment in that similar style for the longest time. Before I knew it, I was messing around with...

I made "Starro Surprise" in 2014! My friend found a Starro mask for me at a comicbook convention. I had that, along w/ some other superhero masks. My friends and Family all contributed to the absurdity of this project. The idea of a 'silent superhero horror' intrigued me enough to add dialogue boxes like the good ol' days. My niece Gabriella appears in this, as Baby Starro! I directed, shot, sound designed and edited this creation.

"Santanatas" is my first Christmas movie. I shot it all on my iPhone and edited it w/ Videoleap app. You'll see the hallways and office of KCHUNG Studios in Chinatown Los Angeles. I acted in this one, and added lots of stock footage.

In Japan, Spiderman has his own tv show called "Supaidaman", which is vastly different in nature from America's version, complete w/ giant robot fights and a nifty racecar that drives through fields. I always liked the "Spiderman" cartoon theme, so I decided to glue it onto imagery of "Supaidaman", adding some fun subtitles, for this Frankensteined music video!

The Gallifreycrumb Tinies - Sometime long ago, after adding music onto Edward Gorey's "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" poem, I stumbled across another astounding concoction... Kelsey Wailes created a marvelous parody of "The Gashlycrumb Tinies", in a series of illustrations using "Doctor Who" characters. She re-wrote the poem (Weird Al would be proud of her wordplay), lacing together references to the sci-fi time travel show. I animated her art, added guitar and singing, and edited together this music video!

I intended on working with Edward Gorey, and then he passed away. I decided we could still collaborate between dimensions, so I glued his words onto some chords and before I knew it, I had a song tribute to "The Gashlycrumb Tinies". Many years passed before I edited this together, including his art from "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" book, other illustrations, in addition to a photograph of his "Dracula" stage play used as a backdrop! Gorey's own dialogue from an interview, is also woven into it. I have the pleasure of singing, playing guitar, animating, and editing the video.

"Max Neptune and The Menacing Squid" is a retro sci-fi is a low budget indie movie made over the course of 5 years, with mostly green screens, homemade craftsmanship, and lots of visual effects! Inspired by the old 'Flash Gordon' and 'Commando Cody' serials, this is created to look as if it were made in the Future of 1950s sensibilities. I have the honour of playing the hero Max Neptune and flying the X-1 Rocket!

"Black Pumpkin", is an 80s themed Halloween indie horror sequel to "Legend Of Fall Creek". It takes place 10 years after the original events. I have the honour of acting in it as Alex Griffin AND also serve as Associate Producer. "Black Pumpkin" is available on iTunes, Amazon, Youtube, and on the shelves at Walmart!
