"Fantastic Fortune"
Winning the award for best short in 2006 was a real thrill. One thing that winning an award such as this can do is provide a much-needed shot in the arm for a lonely filmmaker! I tend to work alone on my animations, so it is nice to get such positive feedback on my work. As we all know, independent filmmaking can be a tough road to travel. Since that short ("Fantastic Fortune"), I've created another short, "Alpha Worm." As a matter of fact, I am going to Seattle in a few weeks to show this short at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame Short Film Festival. That trip should be a lot of fun. I am working on yet another short ("Invisible Master") and hope to have that out in the next 6-8 weeks.

"What’s Two + Three?
My film “what’s two + three?” premiered at the Gulf Coast Film Festival in 2004 and from there it went on to a series of other festivals around the country. In 2006 it was broadcast on PBS in many markets throughout the Midwest and was picked up for distribution by Aquarius Health Care Media which has sold it to schools and libraries across the country. Recently I purchased the rights and am in pre-production for a short film called “Found Objects” that appeared in the Dec. 10, 2007 issue of The New Yorker. I plan on shooting the film this summer. In addition to filmmaking, since 1996 I have been a college film professor, first at Columbia College and as of June 2007, I am the head of the film department at Flashpoint Academy a new media arts college in Chicago.

"The Ninjews"
I finished a half hour short that I'm trimming down in September of last year, and am currently getting it ready for festivals. I have another short that I recut last year as well, and am getting ready to start sending it out, and I'm also working on another Ninjews, though it won't be done with claymation, but rather with 2D animation using Anime Studio.
