SHORT FILM SHOWCASE

A young woman tests the dedication of a new suitor in an unusual way.

My first original short film. Shot by Miah, who also stars, in Jersey City, NJ one summer day on Super 16mm. Loosely inspired by the Ambrose Bierce short story "Watcher Of the Dead".

In Victorian England, a young man ends his engagement with disastrous results.

Shot on Super 16mm by Phelps Harmon in the backyard of the same Jersey City apartment. Story idea by Shamira and myself. Shamira wrote the script with input from Darren and myself. Some good use of over-cranking [slow motion]. 

A young woman struggles to make a successful work of art, oblivious to the perfect canvas right in front of her.

Produced in Jersey City just before I moved to Bay Ridge.  Shot  on a Panasonic 24p by Phelps. Shamira wrote it. We went out and bought various art supplies to show that this woman failed at everything. Or did she? Got into a few small festivals. 

A young woman encounters a strange man while doing her laundry.

Also shot by Phelps on the Panasonic 24p in the basement of my shithole Bay Ridge apartment.  He and I were the only crew. Always liked this one but wish I had a better resolution besides the antagonist giving threatening laundry advice. Came in second place in a short film festival. First prize was $5,000. Second prize was a t-shirt.

A woman makes excuses for her husband's cruel behavior.

Just Lenika and myself. Shot on 24p in the Bay Ridge apartment. No couches were actually licked.

A young man sets himself up for heartbreak when he falls for a woman with serious issues.

Shot by Phelps on Super 16mm. My darkest and weirdest film. Has some of my best editing and one of my best soundtracks. Unfortunately  my worst script. The dialogue scenes don't work. Ironically my most-streamed film on YouTube. 

A young widower encounters a series of weirdos while she mourns the death of her husband.

Shot on one of the first HD cameras. One of my funniest films. The "hand thing" shows up for the first time. Pieces of my previous shorts make appearances. Even an audition reel for an actress is incorporated. I was the only crew member. Talent helped out with sound. The sequence from 5:10-7:00 may be some of my best work ever. I had a drunken idea to make a feature in this style.

A young widower encounters even more weirdos while she still mourns the death of her husband.

Outtakes. Remember, Thursday is pipe day.

Paying for love is hard on the wallet.

We've all been there  - you just never have twenty bucks when you really need it. I don't remember much about this except it was just me and the talent and it was shot by me in that crappy Bay Ridge apartment again.

I did not write this, I will let the viewer take what they will from the story.

I was the cinematographer and editor on this for a 48-Hour Film Festival in Asheville, NC. 

After being told not to ask what's in the box, a young woman asks what's in the box.

Shot on a cold day in Bay Ridge on a Canon 5D by Brian Francis around the holidays. 

A young man's kink alienates everyone around him.

I was hired to direct this. Same crew and gear as The Box. Also shot in the same place - Brian's apartment in Bay Ridge. I think Peter plays the same character in Reverie, More Reverie, The Box, and this.

This isn't really about anything.

My first iPhone movie. An unofficial sequel to my hit film Aisling.

A busy-body investigates the strange noises from her downstairs neighbors.

Another iPhone movie. My lovely wife Rebecca stars and did the make-up. Notice the appearance of Douglas, who left us far too soon. 

I loved that cat.

An artist struggles during her attempts to paint a self-portrait.

Actually the 3rd attempt of making Alyssa, but the first time that actual footage was shot. I think this was the last time to date I did any cinematography on my own work.

A relaxing ten minutes at Dali's Beach, aka, Goose Creek State Park. Filmed on a Go Pro by me. For more videos like this check out my wife's channel, https://www.youtube.com/@mysticalgardengreen1451/videos
