Љ VacuuMurder (June/July 2026)

A vacuum terrorises a household.I made this film for the New Zealand OnScreen competition. Thats why it it exactly seven minutes long. I didn't have a script or storyboard. Filming took place over multiple weekends. I'd only shoot a couple shots a day due to how much stop-motion (and special effects in general) is used in it.

Inspiration: Tetsuo the Iron Man. Pinnochio 964. Experimental films in general. Damon Packard's Dawn of the Evil Millenium. 70s Kung Fu films. Abel Gance's Napoleon. Jan Svenkmajer. The visuals for Flying Lotus' Big Mama EP.

⟐ The Lost Diamond (March 2026)

Two adventurers search for an ancient gemstone and are hunted by horrifying monsters. I made this one back in late 2024 for English class with some of my friends. The current version was edited in March 2026 to make it better for university submission (the previous one wasn't that well edited or colour-graded and I used copyrighted music). It's surprisingly well written (in my opinion atleast) for something that didn't have a script or storyboard. Real hero's journey level stuff.

If I made this today I would have got some more shots and planned out the action scenes a bit better.

Overall I like this film alot. It was heaps of fun to make and gave me some good experience directing actors.

My Favourite Movies

Check out the Analog Video Shop right now! Your one stop for a dizzying assortment of obscure and bizarre cinema from around the globe!!!

While Jackie Chan's Police Story is undoubtedly the best film ever made, a top 10 list of my favourite movies is too hard to make and probably varies too much. Anyway, here is an unordered, somewhat longer than 10-item, list of the films I like most.

SEVENTEEN MOVIES I THINK ARE COOL

• Police Story (1985 Hong Kong)

As previously mentioned, this is, objectivly, the best movie ever made. Its pretty obvious from the rest of the list that I don't favour more philosiphical movies (although I have watched my fair share of them). This is about as far from a thoughtful look at the human condition you can get. And yet it is completly compelling. The stuntwork and fight cherography in the movie is unparalleled, even in other Jackie Chan films. The comedy, while stupid, is perfect. Even the soundtrack is great. Easily a 100/10.

• Love and Pop (1998 Japan)
• Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989 Japan)

Shinya Tsukamoto's black and white magnum opus details a man turning into a metal man. Yep, thats about the entire plot. It's an entry into in the Japanese Cyberpunk genre. The music is metallic and explosive and so is the editing. I really like the use of stop-motion in this film, which is common in other Cyberpunk movies.

• Gone in 60 Seconds (1974 USA) - last 40 minutes only

The first part of this movie is incredibly poorly done. Lots of people talking about things I don't care about over stock footage. And then suddenly its a prolonged chase sequence through the streets of Los Angeles. The action doesn't drag on, the stuntwork is insane for an American film. The editing is fairly good and the music is fantastic.

• Hard Boiled (1992 Hong Kong)

An entry into the Gun Fu (I prefer this name over it's alternative, Heroic Bloodshed), John Woo's masterpiece features a cop named Tequila who shoots triad members.

• Bad Taste (1987 New Zealand)
• Robocop (1987)
• King Kong (1933 USA)
• The Holy Mountain (1973 Mexico)
• The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958 USA)
• Lone Wolf and Cub series (1972-1974 Japan)
• Ong Bak (2003 Thailand)
• Planet of the Apes series (1968-1973 USA)
• The Adventures of Denchu Kozo (1987 Japan)
• Hundreds of Beavers (2022 USA)
• The Fly (1986 USA)
• Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995 Japan)
• 964 Pinocchio (1991 Japan)
