WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE

I make short videos–from original 8mm home movies, occasionally fresh footage, sometimes mashups from moving images that have fallen into the public domain–for the pleasure of creating unusual art, perhaps coaxing a laugh or two, permanent records of how life used to be, through an irreverent lens.

There is other stuff on the website, too, feel free to look around. You may find something interesting. And don’t forget to share with your friends, they might get a kick out of it.

A mashup of two vintage “youth welfare” films from the 1950s. Larry (John Galvarro) is pursuing a bride, but his addiction to drugs is an obstacle. A brand new story created through old public domain movies!

Young Bobby is lured into unseemly behavior by a group of obnoxious marionettes. This clip is based on a 1950s industrial film that showed children how to use a telephone. A piece on subversive behavior, with a little punk rock thrown in to spice it up.

A “documentary” on the infamous Dalton Gang robbery of 1892, using clips from western movies and images of the Daltons themselves to tell the story. The truth is violent, but who can resist the happy ending?

A silent documentary featuring outdoor activities from the the 1930s to the 1960s, with home movies in 8mm format telling the story.

Featuring rare paddleboat scenes from the Salmon River, soldiers marching through the streets of Seattle, wildlife in Yellowstone, and classic scenes from Woodland Park Zoo.

Under the pseudonyms John Schauer and Xeron Tafford, this unusual collaboration between two Pulliam brothers is a low-fi masterpiece, directly sent from 1978 to your eyeballs.

A mashup of home movies footage of my family, with unlicensed music, fake storylines, and the cutest kids this side of the Brady bunch. Plus dogs. And cats. And lots of cousins. Life in my family in the 1960s.
