Drew's homepage is moved!

I moved this site because it's janky and new posts aren't always showing up! I also changed the theme here, which seems to have helped but unfortunately the new theme is pretty ugly! here's the updated address until I can get the redirect set up (I'm working on it but I make art not websites be forgiving):

Here's a linktree of other places to find me on the vast undernourished wasteland of psuedomonopolistic app hegemony that is the 2020s internet:

The Ghost of Kurt Cobain

Documentary/Musical, 2023

This was a great introduction for learning how to edit multi-cam and to shoot live performances. Really glad Mr. Cobain allowed me to film it.

KC SCREENWRITERS SHORTSRAVAGANZA!

A short film screening I organized for KC Fringe 2023. Two separate blocks showing July 14, 16, and 17, 2023.

In addition to organizing the screening I also cut this trailer and did some interstitial animations to introduce each film.

Where's My Wonderland?

Comedy, June 25 2022

Done for the IFCKC's "One Night Stand" Competition.

Unlike previous years, this was a group project with several other writers, and it turns out that getting a team of writers used to working alone to produce a film is like signing up to herd cards. It wasn't a disaster but I don't know that anyone of us loves the end result.

Did You Know You Can Pay Actors to Say Anything

Filmed April 24, 2023

Did You Know You Can Pay Actors to Say Anything?

Comedy, April 2023

Made for IFCKC's 1 minute/3minute/5 minute film contest (the 3-minute version is here)

To head off your obvious question, there were supposed to be women in this film, but none of them could make it when our filming date got rescheduled. Perhaps we'll remedy this with a sequel.

Documentary Short, 2022

I edited this! Thanks to the rest of the crew and especially all our subjects. We had two hours of interviews and we could have used almost all of it. Made for IFCKC’s “Every Picture Tells a Story” contest that brings together artists and filmmakers (we won).
