Garden of souls (2019)In the tradition of such classics as NOSFERATU & HAXAN, and with a dash of early American film (Famous Players Film Company, D.W. Griffith, etc.) comes GARDEN OF SOULS. A horror photoplay in that harkens back to the old tinted silent films of yesteryear. Partly filmed on-location in Hollywood before Hollywood -- Fort Lee, NJ. Dedicated to film pioneers D.W. Griffith and Mary Pickford.

Isabelle aux Dombes (1951)Pialat's first film was the short Isabelle aux Dombes, shot in 1951 when the director was 26 years old. The film is an entirely silent montage of documentary footage, ragged experimental techniques — mainly some negative-image inserts — and symbolic psychodrama that's surprisingly not too different from the work that Stan Brakhage would begin making just a year or two later. Images of death proliferate throughout the film, and what started as a loose documentary soon becomes an eerie psuedo-horror piece that's obsessed with death and decay.

Hands of Purple Distances (1962)A distressed young woman, possibly on the run is surrounded by nothing but barren landscapes of forests and fields. As she progresses to an indiscernible denouement, the film contorts shape into a circular series of pulsating images that touches on the horror and the metaphysical.

BLOODY DATE (2012)Your first date becomes your worst nightmare...

Tea Time (2007)On a quiet afternoon an elderly woman prepares some afternoon tea for her and her husband. This short film was made on a single Super-8 cartridge, edited in camera, shot in sequence with only one take per shot. This was originally made for an Los Angeles film event called: "Attack of the 50 Foot Reels".

Bloody Night a Go-Go (2012)A dark alley, a vicious monster and a little girl that was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Satan's Bite (2018)Made for straight 8's 2018 competition on one cartridge of super 8mm film with only in-camera edits and no post-production. Premiered on may 14th 2018 at straight 8's Cannes film festival screening.

Mr. Ticklez (2019)In the late hours of Halloween, a mother and her young daughter are haunted by a terrifying clown that lives in their tv.

UNICORN (2012)GIRL and BOY meet little strangers

The Hearts of Age (1934)A surreal silent short composed of symbolic imagery and allegorical tableaux centered on themes of death and mortality.
