Cycle of Life is an exploration, told as an experimental short film, into the emotions associated with ritual and catharsis experienced throughout life. Going through birth, learning, passion, addiction, renewal, and death, the Cycle of Life studies both the intrinsic and extrinsic reactions of a person through repeated color, image, sound, and movement. The cycle is depicted not only in the tangible sense, but also as a spiritual cycle that could be experienced multiple times within one's life. Produced by Travelling Showcase Productions, LLC Directed by Seth Tyler Black Composed by Bryan Wolbert |
Addiction is a glance at the visceral side of addiction. Many partners of addicts, no matter the type, go through a period of deep internal delusion, not knowing what is real and what is made-up. The experimental short, Addiction, studies those internal emotions, both intrinsically and extrinsically from the co-addict, using the medium of digital film. Through the visual depictions in the film, a linear story-line comes into play questioning the first-person's own struggle with addiction, addiction to normality as well as addiction to substance.

IN POST PRODUCTION The Portraits is a feature length film following an idea as it first comes out of a philosopher's mind onto a piece of paper. The idea struggles and grows as it is passed along from philosopher to composer, ultimately to a dancer who embodies the expression through public exhibition. Pulling the veil from artist's rituals during their creative process, The Portraits depicts the cycles of creation and collaboration from the micro stages to the macro, where the idea grows to beyond its original state.
