Conversations is a series of short narrative studies and experiments often shot and edited in an afternoon. They are made to explore a specific aspect of filmmaking: an acting style, blocking, a color palate, etc.

I make them so I can explore ideas between projects.

They usually involve a written conversation (or treatment), minimal planning, and two actors. Most of the time it's just me behind the camera so please excuse any hiccups.
