VOTV Podcast
In 2021 I launched a movie-themed podcast with my friend Dee Dee, called Vamps on the Verge. On it we over-analyze over-looked genre films and obsess over their leading women. As we explored these forgotten films we let our minds take us down rabbit holes and into tangents about the stars, the times, and anything else that came to mind.
We designed the branding together, with Dee Dee creating the final images, and I edited the episodes. (The quality of sound improves after the first episode.)
Unfortunately due to a death in my family I had to pause production. All current episodes are available on all podcast streaming platforms.
Listen on Apple Podcasts or click on any of the episode images below. (The sound improves after episode 1)

Pizza Sluts & “Burn” music video
“Pizza Sluts” (left) is a no-budget short I made for fun with my friends for a showing of Satanic Feminist films at Carla Rossi’s Queer Horror, at the Hollywood Theater in Portland, OR in 2017. I told my friends the plot, and asked my “stars” AmyRose Ahlstrom and Erica Ordway to write their own lines. IThere was no crew except for my friend Alex Vicari, who set up the lights for the first scene. I directed, shot and edited it myself in the span of a few days. My friends Decoteau Wilkerson and Brianna Loughlin created all of the “special effects” using ingredients from their kitchen cupboards and craft supplies. Local bands Ancient Heat, Soul Grinder and Cliterati let me use their songs for the soundtrack. Besides premiering at Queer Horror it has been show at multiple Metalesque Fests, always inspiring chants of “Pizza Sluts!”
Cliterati loved it so much they asked me to recut the short into a music video for their song, “Burn” (right). I was happily surprised when the Willamette Week listed “Burn” as the number #1 locally made music video of 2017.
XRAY FM Radio Piece
This short radio piece was conceived, recorded and edited by me as part of class offered by XRAY FM, and was aired on the local station in 2017.
The subject is the barista program at P:ear, a wonderful local non-profit that supports unhoused youth.
