After 10 months of work, PLANET, our 1st sci-fi short film, is officially live on our website!

20 Hours until PLANET is live at 9am!

We’ve been working toward this moment for so long… can’t wait for you to see it.

Last Saturday we premiered Planet to 1,000 people in San Francisco.

This Saturday at 9am we’ll release it to the world.

It was almost a year ago that we wrapped production on my short Mercy. Thinking back on it now, it was without a doubt one of the most difficult, inspiring, and creatively empowering experiences that I’ve had in my life. Our premiere at @mdffparkway is this Friday and it represents the culmination of an enormous amount of work, suffering, and passion by everyone who helped bring it to life. Would not have been possible without the support of an amazing and selfless team who poured themselves into this project.

If you’re in the Baltimore area… we screen at 11:15PM Friday and 11:15AM Sunday. Hmu for details and I’ll get you a ticket.

NEW WORK! <> Excited to share some Levi’s spec work. This is a proof of concept for a new kind of advertising... It’s about making ads that don’t feel like ads –– that watch like short films, that are unafraid of putting it all on the line if it leads to something honest.In that pursuit, we’ve thrown out all the rules to reimagine what an ad can and maybe should be.
This campaign “Find Your True Fit” seeks to represent queerness outside the comfortable confines of mainstream popular culture. Instead of avoiding the complexities of the queer experience ––weembraced the ambiguity, the not-knowingness, and the fear that comes with asking yourself who you really are.
Grateful for a small but mighty cast and crew who came together to help make this possible.@matt_tompkins @sam.toland @samslades @tiffanyballin @river.magick

As a filmmaker, it’s just about impossible to tell if your film works until you put it in-frontof an audience. Until you do that, all you have is something that THEORETICALLY should work. IN THEORY,if all goes according to plan, this cut lands just right with that cut and the perfect song comes in at the perfect moment - all the while theviewer is catching your hints and connecting the dots in a particular pre-determined order just as you wanted them to. And the hope is that after thousands of micro-decisions you are left with a film that moves and breathes with a voice of its own, one that brings you into moment through a perspective you wouldn’t otherwise experience.
And so it was pretty incredible to screen Hey Stranger publicly for the first time in a room of other filmmakers who’s work is truly some of the best in the industry.Taking home the RIIFF 2019 Directorial Discovery Award was an absolute honor - and a reminder to me and the rest of the team to continue to push the envelope and break down the boundaries of independent film

So excited to share that Hey Stranger has been selected to premiere at the 2019 Rhode Island International Film Festival In August. This is an OSCAR and BAFTA qualifying festival! Incredibly proud of the talented team that put their time and heart into this important story.@laksmi_hedemark @matt_tompkins

Always fun challenge to make something from garbage. You’d be surprised how much wood and paint you can find around New York if you keep an eye out...
