Watchable Films is my independent production company based in Carmel, IN. We produce short narrative comedies in a style called "real-stick" — realism that breaks off into bits of absurdity.
The flagship series, Exercise in Futility, follows Gus Vestibule — a peculiar loner with a gift for waving. It is equal parts comedy series and film school, designed to educate its makers on all aspects of filmmaking one short at a time.
Please enjoy the intro to the series, The School of Waving, Don’t Drink the “Drinking” Water, and Hugh Millittee!
We are currently in post-production for Why Didn’t You Heart It?

Filmmaking Experiments
These here things below are projects I shot on this here iPhone while learning the craft of filmy-makey.
The different aspects of creating a movie turned out to be fun puzzles. What piece fits best where?
Enjoy these experiments!
I Feel Like a Salad
This was my first big blockbuster. It debuted in my parents’ laptop and had nearly 17 views. After noticing how different foods made me feel different ways, I wanted to communicate the dangers of mixing eggplant with tomato.
Thanks to Salad, I was presented the prestigious “Filmmaker Who Needs The Most Improvement” Trophy at the Figment of My Imagination Awards last year.
The Path of Least Persistence
This heartfelt epic tells the story of an indolent naysayer refusing to address society’s most important question - how do I move on?
I showed it at several local film festivals, but apparently none of them accepted sidewalk projections on a brick wall. Their loss.
Nonsensical Foot Tour Playtime Movie
For this cinematic giant, I used the Filmic Pro App with my iPhone and played around with some minor special effects in editing.
I really wanted to capture the inner child of these feet. When they were late to set one day, instead of berating them, I bought them each their own slipper and a piece of cheese. Then they pulled out this whopping performance. Pretty proud of that directorial choice.
