This music video was shot on 16mm film when I was atteding Columbia College-Hollywood. It's a song by R.E.M. and involves a band getting ready to film a music video. The band transforms into zombies and chases the director around the set and into a horrific place.

"The Turnaround" is about a struggling actor who gets mugged in the streets of Hollywood and confronts the mugger in a bar. It's shot on 16MM and was my last film project at Columbia College-Hollywood. The film won the "Best of the Fest" at the Rochester Intl. Film Festival in Rochester, NY in 1996. It screened at other festivals and at the IFP Market.

"You Are What You Eat" is a corny comedy about a couple in the near future dealing with GMOs or genetically modified organisms. STAN returns home from grocery shopping. AMY goes through the shopping bag. Why is Amy suddenly upset with Stan about purchasing GMO corn?
