IPSEITY Private Premiere Screening!

The Private Premiere Screening of my feature film IPSEITY is on August 4th.

The journey to get to this point has been almost 2 years. Over this time, I've met so many great people, gotten to shoot at dozens of amazing locations, spent hours editing, shooting, planning, and more.

And finally, on August 4th at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, the film will screen for the first time in front of an audience of cast, crew, friends, and family.

I could not be more thrilled to share this project!

The seventh and final IPSEITY character poster in the series of seven is here! This poster features Charles Allen as the lead character Ian Tesh.


We have also set the date of August 4th for the Private Premiere event of the film! 


It has been nearly a two year journey since the very beginning of the project. What has started as a story written on some pieces of paper has now become a full length feature film. This project has taught me so many things, brought me so many friendships, taken me so many places, and has been an amazing eye-opening experience for me.


I hope to see you on the 4th at the private screening of the film!

Film Critique: 'Upstream Color'

Upstream Color (2013)

Drama/Sci-fi – 96 Minutes

Shane Carruth (Primer)

Perhaps the most mind blowing thing about Upstream Color (and there are many mind blowing things about this film) is the resourcefulness of director Shane Carruth, who not only wrote and directed this film, but stars as the lead, edited, produced, did cinematography, and wrote the original score.

I was familiar with the style and voice of this film before I viewed it, so I knew that the film was going to be cryptic, and was intentionally so.  Shane seems to be more interested in asking the audience a beautifully crafted riddle than telling them his ideas for what the answer to the riddle might be. That said, Upstream Color is a beautifully crafted, and sometime bizarre riddle.

The delight of this film isn’t necessarily having the plot presented to us as much as it is piecing together the poetic fragments that Shane has captured.  Many viewers that I’ve talked with aren’t able to appreciate Upstream Color, but no one can deny that Shane Carruth has created a complex and beautiful enigma.

If you liked Upstream Color, you should view Shane’s previous film, Primer, which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2004.
