Projects
As a result of exploring unconventional genres, my work appears in unconventional places.
LYFE
An advanced AI ushers in world peace by giving everyone their very own virtual paradise called, “Lyfe”.
After experiencing everything Lyfe has to offer, Paul decides to delete his account and return to reality. The AI, portrayed as a puppet in suit and tie, refuses to send Paul back to reality for personal (digital) reasons. In the end, Paul must learn to live in a simulation not unlike our own.
​
Lyfe is built and filmed on Unity Game Engine with background images and animations developed by Stable Diffusion, NewGen, and audio provided by FakeYou. Although human-made, Lyfe blurs the line between natural and artificial creation.
Rennies
A young squire must battle massive egos in the royal court, pacify an uprising from the non-SAG peasant actors, catch an unauthorized Town Leper, and win the heart of the Golden Knight to keep the Renaissance Faire from being canceled.
Nature > Nurture
After the north and south magnetic poles flip overnight, people’s random inner animals run wild. In this new world, the power dynamic between men and women, rich and poor, parent and child go extinct. The only thing that matters is where you fall on the food chain.
