The Mock Destruction of the World

I'm excited to report the completion of my short film titled THE MOCK DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD.  It will introduce you to Tommy Roach, an unusual toymaker, who finds grace in malfunction and creativity in decay. 

Pictorially, a science fiction story plays out that features the decay of nature, as described by glorious autumn colors, and the gleam of an automated modernity, as described by the sheer light bouncing off glass and steel, and peculiar glow of boulevards at night. Tommy's toys come to life, as it were, through lo-fi means. His voiceover is a mix of fanboy sci-fi enthusiasm, Anthropology 101, and a thoughtful, cosmological vision.

It is entirely a work of fiction, but plays around with a documentary feel.

This marks the third short film completed in just over a year. For more about other projects, please visit www.TropicPictures.com.

I'm presently involved in the preliminaries of my first feature film. Long stretch of road, ahead. But I'm excited about it.
