Short Films

My final episode of COVIDucation is all about photography.

Watch COVIDucation #6 to learn about copyright infringement (kind of).

COVIDucation #5 is all about design!

COVIDucation #4 is all about poetry and filmmaking.

In the third installment of COVIDucation I talk about photography and expository writing.

In the second installment of COVIDucation, I enlisted the help from two of my massively talented colleagues.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I began doing weekly lessons for my students. The above is Ep. #1 in which I don't really teach much....

This short documentary I produced is directed by LeAnne Bugay and was screened at the 2020 Omaha Film Festival.

The above is a short news story about how the BPS Foundation Grant has benefited my classroom and students.

"After They Die" is a short film I made as part of Omaha Film Festival's 48 Hour Film Challenge 2018.

In 2015 I participated in No Shave November. This film shows the results.

"Why BEA" is a series of interviews my friend Julie Rowse filmed and I edited together. The BEA uses it as a recruitment film.

"Alone on the Prairie" is a short film my son, my nephew, and I made one boring spring afternoon while hanging out at my nephew's house.

"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas is one of my favorite poems. This short film, made exclusively from public domain and Creative Commons media is an experiment.

Here is a short film I made entirely out of footage from archive.org. I used music from bensound.com. I recorded myself reading Donald Justice's "Pantoum of the Great Depression."

"Interview with Addi" is a short "photobio" based on the The New York Times' "One in 8 Million' project." I show it to my students and have them create their own.

"Binge," a film I produced that was directed by two of my video yearbook students, was an official selection of the 2019 Omaha Film Festival.

A former student and I put together this strange little horror piece years ago.

This is a short informative video that I made years ago to help students in one of my comic book writing classes learn various comic book terms.

I didn't have anything to do with making this award winning short film, however, it is based on my short story, "I, Zombie" which went on to become my novel Former.
