Silverfish is an independent film I undertook with Ran Li starring John Wax and Bill Campbell. With Silverfish, I revisited the method of the cryptic narrative in regards to the main character, leaving his backstory intentionally ambiguous, not even revealing his name. By keeping him a blank slate, I invite the viewer to put himself in Silver’s shoes, reflecting on the decisions they would make in the difficult situations Silver encounters throughout the film. On set I worked with lighting, sound, script supervision, and scene setup, and each of these positions offered me excellent insights into my future films.

Oblivion was an exploration into the cryptic narrative approach, as well as a return to the Void Soul. For this project I returned to the concept of using non-verbal audio to provoke a narrative. Unlike United, I did not compose a score for this, instead relying entirely on foley sounds I created using materials relating to the scenes. I found that by slowing and warping these familiar sounds, I was able to augment the ominous ambience of the film. I further explored the notion of using recognizable objects to create a foreign audio landscape in several of my entailing projects.
