Welcome to THE VAULT

A library of my creative misadventures.

It started with my first feature film that I directed in my third year of high school titled, Malone and Murdock. A buddy cop film set in the underground world of Des Moines.

I directed my second feature, Small-Timers. It was about a duo of low level mobsters who accidently kill the don’s brother and become the number target of both the police and the mob.

A few years earlier I directed my third feature, Who is Maxman? A film about a person with a split-personality, a delusional person who thinks he’s a superhero. However, this one was never published as I wasn’t happy with the result… but the creative spark moves on…

I created a board game called, Conquer, a game similiar to Risk but players can drink booz to gain extra advantages. I tried to sell it on Kickstarter but it didn’t raise enough money. Maybe I’ll try again one day.

I created a video game title, Call of Corona. A game where players travel into the human body to shoot up Corona. We made it on several big news channels and papers like Vogue since we donated all the revenue to the WHO.
