“Baseball Punx” (2017)

A documentary about the intersection of baseball and punk rock.

There’s no way to justify the existence of the documentary. I hope you enjoy watching it, and I hope it makes you feel less alone.

“Realising the IPMS Vision” (2016)

Almost two years ago, I was hired by a medical technology company to go to Botswana and film a documentary for them. It's about the implementation of their software into every public health facility in the country. Not in line with the usual Shibby Pictures content, but I couldn't resist making a quick director's cut to share with y'all!

It’s actually a really cool story. Basically they took this really sophisticated, yet accessible, software and trained all the nurses to use it to help gain information about their citizens’ health and stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. Botswana is the first country in the world to have all of their public health information on one, unified system.

“Take Me Out to the Show” (2015)

I originally started this documentary back in early 2014 when I was working for the Savannah Sand Gnats. I filmed the entire documentary, had it almost completely edited and finished, then my computer crashed and I lost everything. The documentary was the only thing I was unable to recover because it had been so recently shot.

When I started working for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans in 2015, I started the documentary again in the middle of the season. In retrospect, I’m glad it happened because I ended up with a much better documentary.

The Bomb Shelter (2015)

This short documentary came about in several ways. I had kinda stepped away from narrative films at this time, and felt like making a documentary. This was the subject that was just staring me in the face.  I figured since people liked Trying It At Home, my first DIY documentary so much, I’d try it again, but a little shorter. I’d been wanting to start making more short documentaries like to do short films. Just cute, concise, 3-6 minute documentaries on various things that interest me.

This was also a surprise documentary. I interviewed Danielle for it, and told her it was for something else, not an entire documentary about her house. After weeks of paranoia, Henry and I convinced ourselves that she knew, so about 2 hours before the screening we went and filmed this RED HERRING documentary to throw her off during the show!

“Bat House” (2014)

This is a documentary a few of my classmates and myself produced in a Directing the Documentary class for school. I actually originally went into this class intending to make Trying It At Home for this class, but ended up joining the group that made this.

“Trying It At Home” (2014)

When I posted this documentary I made and Days N Daze’s “Misanthropic Drunken Lone” in the same week, I thought every video I posted from now on was gonna get 10,000 hits. This is another video that people are usually quick to identify me by. And I always tell them, if I had known so many people were gonna watch this documentary, I’d have made it a lot better! I really don’t have any reason behind why I was making this documentary, one day I just started filming shows, then I did some interviews, then I said, well, I might as well make a documentary!

The reception I got to this was overwhelmingly positive, except for the douches who thought you should be allowed to be misogynistic and homophobic, but screw those people anyways. One person even said that it saved their life. One day I intend to go back and re-make this film. Have it look a lot prettier and touch on the subjects I want a lot firmer. Until then, you can watch it here!

Update (8/23/17): I think it's important to mention that Chris Clavin is in this documentary. This was filmed several years before the accusations against him surfaced. As you watch this, you should bear these accusations in mind. Demand accountability, support the victims, do not perpetuate rape culture.
