Truth or Consequences is a speculative documentary about time and how we weave the past into the present and our possible future. Set in the small desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, the film takes place in the shadow of a nearby Spaceport and the commercial exploration of space. Through the lives of the people in town and a filmmaker from the future, the film explores progress, echoes of history, and how we each navigate a sense of loss, within ourselves and within a changing world.

The Changing Same is a magical realist, immersive, episodic virtual reality experience where the participant travels through time and space to witness the connected historical experiences of racial injustice in America.

An example of volumetric filmmaking (real world imagery rendered into a 3D space) in this case showcasing the testimony of an NSA whistleblower.

A live-edited documentary performance that traverses a vast terrain without leaving a tiny patch of land. Each iteration is a unique call and response between a virtual landscape and documentary footage. Set in a small 3D scanned region of the Badlands of South Dakota, voices carry you from paleontology to foraging, indigenous herbalism to nuclear arms, wildlife management to cattle ranching. Strata laters histories, economics, natural sciences, deep time, and personal anecdotes within an immersive landscape that invites you into a meditation on the complex histories embedded in all lands and how profoundly human perspectives shape and define their futures.
