The Stage 32 Videos: Short Cinema

"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 editing choices and now we have this! HAHAH! David Uchansky as Guillermo. John Litten as Karate Kyle. Michael Sode as Raven, and Curt Clendenin as The Giant.

"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.
