June 2007.
Put your arms out and spins in circles. Then stop abruptly, and your mind will still think that you’re spinning. Hyperdecay is a short film about the ability of the human mind to adapt to the reality that it is participating in, and about the surreal reality that one exists in as they are adapting between such cognitive worlds. The main character is expecially susceptible to this mental confusion and like him, the film quickly degrades from narrative to incoherence.
My roles in the film were writer, director, co-editor, and co-designer. See the credits for the rest of the phenomenal crew.

The purpose of this video was to create a minute long piece. Playing the six 10-second clips in reverse chronological order, a diffusing situation suddenly becomes the opposite, as an intensifying step back in time.
