High Strung

This horror short, created by myself and Mary Kuryla, was done for a three-day film contest. Our assigned theme was "puppet or clown." Mary came up with the concept and banged out a rough script in a couple of hours. It was shot it in a day and a half, thanks to the endurance of our DP, Jack Farrell. We didn't win any big prizes but we had a tremendous amount of fun. (Later, I re-edited the piece, gave it a spit-polish.) Many thanks to the actors, assistants, and all involved who pitched in on very short notice and gave it their all!

Character: Puppet

Grimsburg

Marvin Flute may be the greatest detective ever to catch a cannibal clown or correctly identify a mid-century modern armoire. But there’s one mystery he still can’t crack — his family. Now that he's back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has a secret or three, Flute will follow every lead he’s got to redeem himself with the ex-wife he never stopped loving, even if it means hanging out with the son he never bothered to get to know.
