Sparky (2023)
USA | 2018-2023
Runtime: 4 min
Camera: Canon Rebel T6i. 2160p 4K. Color.
Role: Director, Editor
After a job gone wrong, a bounty hunter gets wrapped up in a horrific and disturbing hostage situation. A post apocalyptic, digital horror film
The film was originally shot in late 2018 and after creative disagreements, the film was never finished. After recovering the SD card containing the footage for the film, it was recut with a completely different vision and style in 2023. The entire story essentially changed with the new cut. Heavily inspired by one of my favorite films, Zeros and Ones (2021) by Abel Ferrara. I’d argue this film is a love letter to his films as Ferrara has been extremely influential to me as a filmmaker during my tenure in university. I wanted this film to be an absolute nightmare and use the lack of cohesion to develop a world.
