Ever feel like the world is literally leaning in on you? That’s not just a Monday morning vibe—it’s the DNA of German Expressionism. Born in the post-WWI rubble of the Weimar Republic, this movement decided that reality was overrated. Why film a room that looks like a room when you can film a room that looks like a panic attack? 🏚️😱 #FilmHistory #GermanExpressionism

My 2019 film "Chapter 9" is now on Letterboxd (link to full film down below).
https://letterboxd.com/film/chapter-9/

Captured entirely on a 1960s Super 8 film camera, the story centers on the duality of science and faith as a love letter to the dawn of cinema. I worked closely with a very small group of artists (7 of us in total) to bring these ideas to the screen. The film is complete with a wholly original score, hand-painted title cards, and shot on location at Florida state and local parks. The full motion picture is just under 30 minutes in length and can be viewed for free at the link below. I hope you get a chance to see it and enjoi! 🎥

The original Nosferatu (1922) is a brilliant flick. Especially clever was the relation of the arrival of the vampire with the arrival of plague, a detail that was not in the original book.

HOWEVER. When the captain of the ship that brings Count Orlok to Germany ties himself to the wheel, he uses a granny knot. NO. NO WAY. Not believable.
