Originally edited without dialogue, this short film was made to be a horror genre piece. Now re-edited with dialogue, it may not be quite so frightening.

I made this short film to see if I could humanize inanimate objects and convey an emotional story wordlessly.
Featuring music by Daft Punk, this short film was originally shot and edited in 2012 for a school project using the only equipment I had available at the time. It never felt quite right, so I didn't publish it, but I've finally gone back and re-edited it with new music and better pacing.Selvi 30s SpotTy-Rant Films Inc.2018-06-23 | This commercial I edited together was aired on ATN and Omni television in the two weeks leading up to CCFC's free screening of "Driving with Selvi."Wonder Mountains Guardian: Integrating Industries (Exclusive Interview - May 8th, 2015)Ty-Rant Films Inc.2017-04-03 | An in-depth look at the first-of-its-kind 4D Interactive Dark Ride Coaster combination.

- I chose not to have dialogue in the film partly due to the lack of audio equipment available to me during the production, and partly due to my admiration for Pixar short films that convey powerful stories wordlessly. - I shot this on 8mm tape because that's all I had available at the time, but I feel the grainy quality of the image actually helps the film in many ways. - The cell phone you see me use in the film is my current cell phone, despite its age. - Although I did have a tripod at one point, it went missing around the time my ex-fiancee left, along with several other items I owned. As such, I improvised using a work-light stand whenever possible, however this was apparently not nearly as stable. - I sat up in the rafters for a few shots that ended up in the film, since the ceiling of the room we were renovating was all opened up anyway. - There's one shot that I do not appear in, but due to some clever editing, it may appear that I am (since I was up in the rafters, but I am in the surrounding shots). - I did have surgery for my hyperparathyroidism, however I now seem to be suffering from something else; the doctors are still trying to figure out what exactly.Backwoodsman (Adam Young Scores Short Film Contest)Ty-Rant Films Inc.2016-12-30 | Inspired by Adam Young's music and my own life experience, Backwoodsman was filmed and edited over the course of two weeks on location in Mallorytown, Ontario, Canada. It was recorded onto 8mm tape using a 2001 Sony Digital Handycam and edited using Final Cut Pro 7, generously supplied by a church friend.
Unending thanks to my family, friends, God, and Adam Young for the support each has given me over the past eighteen months.
