Projects | FRANK (Short Film / Campaign)

Director / Cinematographer / Editor (2024)

FRANK is a documentary short about the life of Denver tattoo artist, Frank Simanton. I directed, shot, and edited the film on my own, using black-and-white cinematography, surrealism, and archival footage to create a psychedelic character study of a talented artist.

The film premiered at the legendary Mayan Theatre in Denver as a double feature with my short film The Process. To promote the project, I produced video and image campaigns that combined clips from the film with humor driven advertising.
