Well hello,
This is my website. I create weird stuff. Mostly films. I guess one could describe my creations as Bizarro Fiction. My latest feature film tells the story of a reclining chair who falls for a girl and starts committing crimes of passion - It’s called Killer Sofa.
I’m also interested in telling stories using game engines and 3D software because it’s fun.

9 TOILETS TO HEAVEN
9 TOILETS TO HEAVEN is a bizarro sci/fi-comedy-horror film feature film I’m writing to take full advantage of Virtual Production and Unreal Engine 5!
The film is a collection of 9 vignettes, taking place during the same night, concerning the bond formed between a public toilet cleaning service owner and his new hire. As they both go through the night, cleaning 9 public toilets in the party town of Manila Buenos, they encounter surreal scenarios that push the boundaries of comprehension, logic and life as they know it…

This video was posted on Twitter, and we had 27 people answering the question! The T-Shirt was sent to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, do Dr FaustoMax (Rogerio). Here is the original video…
