Slightly New (2024) - Trailer
Stuck in a dead-end sales job at a shady dealership, Brandon and Leo were always destined for mediocrity. But when their boss gets arrested and things take a turn for the better (or the worse?) at work, the duo have a chance to finally step up and make something of themselves. Between keeping the IRS off their backs and a rival dealership off their case, dealing with the women, weed, and occasional 2 hour employee lunch break seems like light work. The road back to respectability is a long, bumpy test drive.

The Great Crossing
Made during my physical animation class at UMBC. Created in a group of three, we each created a character and based a story around them. We individually animated our own characters and about ten seconds each of the final scene when they are all together. We worked together to create the background and story. My character design was the rock with the top hat.
