Watchable Films is my independent production company based in Carmel, IN, producing short form narrative comedies in a style I'm calling "real-stick" — realism that breaks off into bits of absurdity. Shot on iPhone 15 with the Filmic Pro app, the films are intentionally lo-fi in production while professional in approach.

The flagship series, Exercise in Futility, follows Gus Vestibule — a loveable waver who finds himself in many peculiar circumstances. It is equal parts comedy series and film school, designed to educate its makers on all aspects of filmmaking one short film at a time.

I am somewhere in the middle of learning how to make films. Not a beginner, but I don't pretend to be an expert either. It's a fun, exciting place to be.

Exercise in Futility is currently submitting to Indiana film festivals.

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.
