A still photo taken on the first day of shooting "Intravenus" last year. I took its puny iPhone ass and imported it to Photoshop where I cropped it way down and worked on it, coming up with this, which I really like. #photography #intravenus

A two-toned industrial hall from the 1940s, lower portion painted rust-red, the upper part a light color. A man rounds the far corner, dressed in black. A woman is in the foreground, walking quickly, so her hair and red sweater (decorated with flower embroidery) gently swoop back behind her. Both individuals are actors who wear white face.

Clarice's nightmare from Intravenus. This scene was crafted entirely in the editing room from extra footage. Many additional cutaways were caught, and wanting to incorporate some of my surrealist editing I crafted this unscripted segment as a bridge to the film's second half.

The world of cult film has unfortunately suffered another major loss. Shozin Fukui's filmography was filled with kinetic experimentation and a wonderfully sharp sense of black comedy amidst its industrial grime. Give 964 Pinocchio and Rubber's Lover some love to honor the man. May he rest in peace.

A random assortment of recently finished shots for The God Machine. We're now in the homestretch of production, many of the prominent sequences are nearly all filled out and the completed shots add up to over an hour when compiled.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to see Intravenus' premiere. I'm still kind of in disbelief of how everything worked out. It's one thing to make the film in your creative space, it's another to see people get involved with the final outcome when it's being performed.

Eisenstein advocated "intellectual cinema" as a form of dialectical fusion between science and art. Intravenous is an intellectual horror film that skillfully combines this dialectic with a nostalgic sensibility of 1970s horror and a discussion-based political drama from the same era.

The two days saw the wrapping of a large majority of the cast alongside the introduction of a new character. Most of the time since filming has been spent on editing and animating for The God Machine. Only two cutaway shoots are left later this month before the film officially wraps production.

The 26th and 28th of June were the final days of scripted principal photography for Intravenus. These filming days counted for a large part of the movie's closing segment alongside the first of a set of cutaways that provide further context to the film's scenario.

Filming involved nonsensical phrenological exams, morbid anatomical projections, more mannequin puppetry, and a full table of Futurist-inspired cuisine served with a side of slight regret. More can be read here. www.instagram.com/p/DJHNohURcEZ/

Filming on Intravenus continues. March concluded on an intensely active note with our third day of principal photography, four scenes were tackled, three of which featured dialogue that was as intense thematically as it was in length and detail. Editing of the scenes has been ongoing since shooting.

Rachel Walker and Brice Anthony Heller as they appear in the film Intravenus, appearing as Clarice and Hermey respectively. Clarice is seated at a table decorated with macabre pieces of medical ephemera as Hermey stands in the back with a measuring tape. The two are in an antiquated classroom. Said shot is in black and white.

Rachel Walker as she appears in the film Intravenus, appearing as Clarice. Her face is barely lit against a darkened background, looking up to an unseen space above her. Said shot is in black and white.

Brice Anthony Heller he appears in the film Intravenus, appearing as Hermey. He’s stood in front of a black cabinet in the classroom. The scene is dimly lit. A macabre anatomical diagram puppet is dangling inside the cabinet, its body is vaguely illuminated by the projection of an antique anatomical illustration of an Anatomical Venus, her exposed organs casting strange optical phantoms on the surrounding wall. Said shot is in black and white.

Rachel Walker as she appears in the film Intravenus, appearing as Clarice. She is in the dimly lit classroom, searching through a set of papers atop a teacher’s podium. A jarred conjoined fetus is resting on the other side of the podium. The Anatomical Venus projection ominously stands overhead behind her. Said shot is in black and white.
