Happy summer, patrons -- it's been a minute, but there's a good reason for that. I've been working on three videos simultaneously. The first will release at the end of the month, and the rest will follow later this year. Here's a small taste of what's on deck:

I'm beyond thrilled to announce my next release: LIFE BEYOND REMASTERED, a director's cut of the Life Beyond series that combines all episodes and new content into a freshly polished feature-length documentary.
The Life Beyond series is dear to my heart, but some of the visuals and audio have begun to show their age. For months now I have been re-imagining some of the dated visuals I made when I was still a beginner at 3D, adding new visuals and new creatures in the museum of ali...

Happy Friday beloved patrons -- I'm excited to be sharing the first images of my next release.
This was originally intended to be a short video, but it's expanded in scope (as always happens with my projects). I was aiming for early December release but now I anticipate finishing mid to late January. Final product will probably clock in around 10-15 minutes in length.
I won't spoil anything yet, but the preview images should give you a good hint that I'm exploring so...

I'm back with another Behind the Scenes video!
This one is essentially a director's commentary on the latest release. I cover everything from the history of the film, how I used A.I., my workfow for designing characters, my musical approach to the amazing collaborators I worked with.
Hope this is insightful for everybody. Feel free to drop any questions here in the comments and I'll do my best to get back to you.

I hope this video will stir some conversation and get you thinking about the long-term potential of our species.

Save the date! The official release for Chapter 1 of THE HUMAN FUTURE is August 15, 2023. In just a few short weeks the film will be yours.
This chapter is titled A CASE FOR OPTIMISM. To be honest, when I began this project, I was preparing to make a doomer-style "final warning" video for humanity. But over the last two years, while researching and reading more deeply into this vast topic, my mindset has flipped completely. I now think that despite the majo...

Happy Friday everyone -- wanted to give an update on The Human Future. I am expanding the scope of this first installment (as is pretty much tradition for me now) -- it's now nearly double its initial intended length. Too many interesting ideas to share!
As I hinted beforehand, this means I will need to push out the release date, probably into August now. Apologies to all those who are waiting patiently. But the delay will be worth it.

Far beyond Earth, a new type of alien water planet could be speckling our galaxy by the billions, like cosmic dew drops.
These “Hycean Planets” range up to ten times the mass of the Earth, containing mega-oceans that could stretch down hundreds of kilometers.
Their extreme pressures keep their water liquid across a wide range of temperatures, broadening the zone in which they could host life. And researchers now believe that these worlds are extremely common in the unive...

Change is coming. Humanity is entering a turbulent new era, unprecedented in both Earth and Human history. To survive the coming centuries and fulfill our potential as a species, we will have to overcome the biggest challenges we have ever faced, from extreme climate change, to rogue A.I., to the inevitable death of the sun itself.
If we succeed, our potential is cosmic in scale. Incredible prosperity is within our reach. But the wrong moves could push us into irreversible col...
