Just dug up this old trailer for Born Forlorn (2018) and not sure I ever posted it… that’s bad marketing!
It’s still out on the internet! Go watch this classic Vimeo *Staff Pick* again or for the first time! (or don’t.. what do I care)
BORN FORLORN (2018) 35mm
In this dry adventure comedy, a down on his luck country/western singer tries to make it to Hollywood by driving 100 mph through the middle of the desert.

🚨OUT NOW!🚨
Well folks.. it’s here! This new album that I’ve been working on is finally out.
All the 1s and 0s now streaming on all the convenient blood sucking corporate stream machines!
For good and clear karmic return find it in bandcamp too! (link in bio)
QUASAR COUNTY TWILIGHT is a crackling lo-fi, indie space folk album made up of 9 brand new jams that weave together a loose story about a holy place by the river, a mystery at the edge of space and time.
The album’s lo-tech sonic world was built out using real recordings of stellar radio frequencies (produced by Dr. Paul Francis from the Australian National University)
It was mastered by @christophercolbert at National Freedom on warm analog equipment somewhere in western Oregon.

In partnership with the Blu Wav Community Theater and the Explosives Division of the Acme Corporation, I invite you to watch the latest music video for the newest hit single by Grandaddy!
“Long as Im not the One” is the final chapter of the Fake Coyote” trilogy I made for the brilliant new @grandaddymusic record called Blu Wav. I’m excited for you to watch this one… let me tell you some of the key ingredients: singing plastic coyotes, heart break, loneliness, microwaves…. dynamite! I was sort of thinking what if Roy Andersson directed a live action remake of a Chuck Jones Looney Tunes cartoon… I mean it will never be that good but a guy can dream can’t he…
@jongman.k k & @_kateada_ were my dream cast! They laid it all out on the line for this silly idea and were pitch perfect and hilarious and so sad.
We had so much amazing help on this. I literally could not have done this without @omgdlb being combination producer & DP and everything in between. An incredible filmmaker & friend. I owe you.
@wynncourt came through with the most beautifully designed set that was better than I imagined.
Check it out! And then go buy the new @grandaddymusic record. It’s soo good.

I just wanted to post something today to say thank you to all the folks that came together to help us out this year. This year is very hard to put into words mostly cause it’s kind of a blur. The things that I do remember is every single act of super-kindness of all our friends and family and people we barely know and total strangers. I hope you know that when you let us crash at your place, gave me pants or Chantal a sweater or provided an entire new room of baby stuff or just asked about how it’s goin.. it meant the world to us. We feel really lucky.
Older and wiser, softer and kinder into 2026!

3 Reasons why you’ve never heard the full story about the scientific experiments of experimental particle physicist Dr. Melmington and his break through discovery Anachrons™️ ————>
1. The world government is hiding miracle science projects in Faraday shielded bunkers under the ice sheets of Antarctica. (Look up Tierra Del Fuego Collateral Vacuum incident 1978) they don’t want you to know.
2. My full length feature film exposing the coverups and the lies about time polarity reversal and wall-walking was sand bagged and purposefully put into “turn around” by several of the major motion picture studios.
3. Early interview tapes were mysteriously erased when they got too close to a magnetized replica bust of Lyndon B. Johnson on the San Antonio River Walk.
This short documentary is just the tip of the ice berg.
Stay tuned for more and sound off in the comments.
Don’t forget to unlike and unfollow.

Miyazaki summing up my feelings about this AI nonsense meddling in the sacred world of art. I think these people pushing artificial intelligence in the arts can go live on an artificial planet. Traitors to humanity.

Some behind the scenes from the “Long As I’m not the One” Grandaddy music video! We made this one family style folks… We had the best crew! And best cast! And got to shoot at the best studio / camera rental house! @omgdlb really came through and made this one happen. Quite honestly he’s the best combination producer & DP in the biz. I also can’t say enough good things about working with @wynncourt on this. Courtney designed the most beautiful set with very little money and was so fun to work with.
Eternal gratitude to everyone that helped out and keeps showing to help out on these shoots. I love making stuff with y’all.

Early testing of the remote control coyote for the Grandaddy “Cabin In My Mind” video… many people said it couldn’t be done. Jk no one said that
01 Dec 2023
📡**NEW VIDEO** [“Cabin In My Mind” Grandaddy]
I’m excited to show you this one. Plus the song is soo good. You gotta watch it all the way to the end.
Let me tell you some of the key ingredients: Remote control coyotes, microchips, sadness, longing, magic radio waves, LA freeways.. all set to the soothing and ethereal by sounds of the new @grandaddymusic track that I totally love.
It’s a pretty silly video but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how everyone has a deep yearning to be free and seen as ‘real’… also I just like antennas.. and remote controlled things.
This was really fun to make. I had this vision in my head of mounting this plastic coyote on a remote control car chassis, driving it around LA, and filming it with a little handicam. So I just figured out how to make it and then called in @seanpecknold and @chantalaanderson (and my son :) to come help. We all took turns driving it or filming it. (Special shout out to @clayhickson for being game to help but had to go to his mom’s birthday party instead.) I love ‘friends and family filmmaking’ Thank you Sean! Thank you Chantal!
And thanks @jasonlytle for letting me make stuff for your music!
