greetings !

thank you for visiting the website for Icelation Filmworks, my contribution to the independent film landscape in the age of the internet. starting with my first effort, the 25-minute short "Just Outside the Door," shot of 16mm and completed in March 1999, i hope to begin my film career by making interesting, thought-provoking

cinema that leaves the audience thinking about it for days afterwards.

i am primarily a writer at heart, but i feel that when i create a world and characters who inhabit it, that i want to see my vision all the way through to the finished product, and so therefore i intend on also directing my scripts.

this site will be devoted to the films that i create, and will feature photos, synopses, and a listing of upcoming viewings for those films. use the buttons below to explore the various aspects of my film experience.

this page features some comments about my new project, the feature-length script "The Empire State Strikes Back." i am still in the process of revising the script, and soon will have snippets of the script available as well as any new info as i attempt to turn the script into a film.

this page has fun stuff such as a survey (a poll about films where you get to voice your opinion), and a host of cool film-related links.

here you find all the info regarding my first short film, Just Outside the Door, including photos from the shoot as well as links to independent websites that the film appears on in its entirety.

i hope that you enjoy the contents herein, and i welcome any comments or suggestions (or of course, offers for funding!!) that you may have, so please click the icon below or

e-mail me your comments to:

thank you for visiting and remember that the experience of seeing the films far exceeds anything you will see on this site -- so go see them if you can!
