"SELFLESS"
Synopsis: "Dylan Gray, a rising young star in the trendy ‘green’ architecture movement, is flying high from winning a prized high-rise commission when he unwittingly plants the seeds of his own destruction during a chance encounter with a deadly stranger. While waiting to board his plane home to Portland, Dylan sketches an unflattering caricature of fellow passenger Wesley Stone to impress an attractive flight attendant. As Dylan soon learns, the stranger he brazenly ridiculed is a master at stealing identities, and he’s just made Dylan Gray his next target! Selfless explores one man's self-identity in an era where internet hackers repurpose identities for various criminal pursuits.”
SELFLESS won the Best Feature and Best Screenplay awards at the 2008 BendFilm Festival and was called "Stylish, Smart and Compelling" by the Oregonian.
"SUBTEXT" (Short Film)
Synopsis: "SUBTEXT explores the contemporary methods in which relationships are formed, maintained and ended, all through phone texts. This now common-place mode of communication has changed the way we express ourselves, allowing the sound-bite and emoticon to determine the fate of our personal lives. Power plays are made with the push of a button as the next text that is sent may decide who has the final say, without ever speaking a word.”
SUBTEXT premiered at the PalmShorts International in 2013 and was given 4 stars by Rotten Tomatoes contributor, James Wegg.
