"Headline News" is a 20-minute short film produced by Spook Show Entertainment and Fathead Films which premiered at the 2011 Chicago Horror Film Festival.

For the set and props design, I turned an empty office room into a college science lab (2 actually) using some props that were provided to me, and some of my own.  I decorated the lab with posters I drew by hand, and fake certificates, and created a mummy out of pillows, styrofoam, gauze, and paint.  I also did some writing / calligraphy that appears in the film (and trailer).

"House of the Degenerate Brain-eating Mutant Fog Insects" is a short film produced by 4Lizard Productions which premiered at the House Cafe in February of 2012.

For the set and props design, I created evil science lab machines out of painted cardboard boxes (for the intentional B-movie look), a computer monitor, and lights.
