The rough stone grinding gently against thy tongue

And silverfish swarm from the weeping wound like

Rain. Entrenching themselves in rotting synapses once burning

Suns in miniature and pain. A stillwater pond once called

Ocean, it stormed silverfish in stagnation,

Gods of cave and grave and self-cannibalizing sleep

emerging from rotting wood and engorging weep.

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.
