I want people to have a new way of looking at the world when they leave the theater.

I find that I always also manage to incorporate a simultaneous reflection on cinema history into my films.

I've been making 16mm urban landscape films about San Francisco for many years. I choose different nonfiction themes to investigate and am generally interested in surfacing lesser-known histories. I like to investigate and illuminate these histories, combining them with my own unconventional storytelling style, which is generally a stream-of-consciousness voiceover involving a steady stream of personal reflections on pining over unavailable women.

Certainly my films are cinematically unusual, and quite contemplative in their pacing compared to conventional films, but I think overall they are quite engaging, accessible, and even funny.

While the creative aspects of my filmmaking style are challenging in their own ways, I have developed such confidence and passion over the years that it has become much easier.

I definitely find the technical aspects of post-production generally quite overwhelming.

My work is not for everyone, but I think if people give it a try, they may be surprised by how entertaining it is.
