Kafka's Supermarket
Production Assistant
Kafka's Supermarket is an experimental surrealist science fiction dystopian horror film that concerns the issues of a current capitalist America, focusing on the alienation and dehumanization of commercialism. Market obsessions are rendered to their most primal states, flooding a present-day utopia with a nihilistic fixation over death and sexuality, rendering the whole city as a conceptually cannibalistic market of flesh. Market researchers and psychoanalysts watch in indifference as the mental states of their subjects quickly collapse into depressive torpor.

The Counting Man
Music
A hermit obsessing over a numbers station is left to live within an absurd Twilight Zone based reality. It will be either one of the funniest horror films you’ll ever see or one of the most unsettling comedies to ever be made. It is the cinematic rorschach test.
