» Anything but Love (Series)
Writer, Director, Editor (Chapman University, 2005)

The entire collection of projects that spawned from a single bracelet. This series catalogues the relationship trouble that two friends encounter on campus. In class, we were assigned five seperate projects and it was never expected that they all relate to the same subject or characters. After the first project, however, it was clear that the story must continue and so the challenge, thus, was telling the story of these characters within the rigid assignment structure.

A thousand thanks to Joey Amant and Eric Sheehan (stars of the collection) as well as Kristen McClurken and Colin Trenbeath (guest appearances and ideas) for all your time and hard work. Click a title below to launch the video.

» Project One: Lost and Found - "The Letter A"
Assignment: A character loses something and finds it in one single shot.

 » Project Two: Between the Scenes - "The Shower Drama"
Assignment: Something happens between two shots that we do not see. Again, simple single shot between each scene.

» Project Three: The Chase - "The Hot Pursuit"
Assignment: One character chases another character, using the camera to create point of view.

» Project Four: The Seduction - "The Deduction"
Assignment: One character seduces another character. Note: This is a reverse-seduction.

» Project Five: Desire, States, Action, Complication, Resolution - "The Conclusion"
Assignment: Create a clear desire for a character, establish what is at stake, have the character take action, create a complication, and finally a resolution.
