The story of Oedipus, in 8 minutes, performed by vegetables, in the tradition of Ben Hur. A sword and salad epic, in classic CinemaScope. Featuring a Potato, a Tomato, Broccoli, Garlic, and Billy Dee Williams as the Bartender.

TRIVIA: We stayed true to the spirit of 1950s cinema through a policy of typecasting and racial profiling: green olives play soldiers, pitted black olives play slaves, the citizens are kalamata olives, Senate elders are white vegetables, and, when appropriate, Ancient Greece is played by Rome.

The film took two years, a volunteer crew of more than 100 people, and post production resources donated by Industrial Light + Magic and Skywalker Sound. One of the first stop-motion films shot on a digital still camera (the technology was so new, the Corpse Bride crew stopped by to study our setup). Official Selection: 80+ film festivals on nearly every continent, including Sundance (World Premiere), Seattle (Audience Award), São Paulo, Rome, and Hong Kong. Currently playing on the Sundance Channel and Virgin America Airlines.

DVDs are no longer available. Signed 35mm anamorphic film prints (of a limited run) are for sale by inquiry only.

Instant cinema! There was a time, not long ago, when meeting a collaborator, writing, shooting, editing, and uploading a movie all in one day was considered revolutionary. In an attempt to shake up the inaugural Digital Cinema Conference at MIT, we made this parody of an art school film and offered it to our audience as a harbinger of online pretentiousness yet to come. True to the genre, we shot in a cemetery. Co-directed with Evan Mather.

How could I resist? British television requested a Phantom Menace follow-up to 1997’s  Tatooine or Bust .

In New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, a new generation of fans waited an entire month in line to see Star Wars Episode I. We spent time with them. We were accepted into their cuture and allowed to approach them. We asked what they might do if the new movie happened to... you know, suck. One of 2001’s Top 25 live-action films on Atom Films. Commissioned by UK’s Channel 4.

On January 31, 1997, five camera crews swooped in on five movie theaters across the United States to follow the fans camping out overnight for the re-release of Star Wars, a movie they had already seen countless times before. One of the first documentaries shot on digital video. (I financed it by selling off my childhood toys!) Covered by NBC, BBC, Arte TV, Newsweek, FilmThreat, and CBS Marketwatch among others. Acquired by UK’s Channel 4.
