Writing

/ things thrown at the wall

A novella that's finished, a novel that isn't, and a drawer of stories and poems. Most of it is true in the way that matters — and all of it reads right here on the page.

Novel · unfinished · a tease of a book that may yet come
Ang
A walled desert city, and the five people whose escape, duty, and rule all run through it. Read it straight through — or choose a character and follow only their thread.

Novella · written in a month for NaNoWriMo
LaPlace's Bar
Three friends drive to Vegas and a bartender in an empty town tells them their fates. A road trip that turns on free will — and a closing turn you won't see coming.

Music

A collaboration, a folder of solo sketches, and an experiment in playing film dialogue over music.

Play

/ a game & a tool

Two things I built to think with — one you run through, one you write with.

Darjeeling RunHTML5 · playable
An endless dash down the platform — sprint and vault the piled-up luggage to catch the train, like the opening run in The Darjeeling Limited.

Indie the TV Show

/ a pilot & a feature

A web-series pilot I co-created with Stephen Baldwin — co-wrote, directed, edited, and scored it, on a shoestring and the goodwill of a lot of friends. We also finished the script for a feature version.

Rethink Everything

/ podcast · ~52 episodes · 2020

Yup — we too started a podcast during covid. ~52 episodes spent questioning the things everyone agreed to stop questioning, recorded first with Kent Yoshimura and later with Jaina Gable. It hasn't aired in a few years, but it's all still up.

An unfinished novelAng

A walled desert city in a sea of sand, and the five people whose lives run through it. This is a tease of a book that may yet come — the chapters that exist, in the order they were written, or threaded through one pair of eyes.
