The Television Trilogy

Recreating the visuals of iconic TV

Return to the Unknown


October 2024

A visual homage to Over the Garden Wall.

As the final film in this loosely connected series of homage film, Return to the Unknown serves primarily as an interpretative sequel to the original animates series to which it tributes.

While Partners was entirely a visual homage, and Between Two Worlds was mostly a visual homage with story elements thrown in—Return to the Unknown puts a much stronger emphasis on story, which is why it’s the most ambitious project I’ve ever made!

I could not have made it without the passion of fellow OTGW fans and friends who contributed their efforts, talents, and own creativity to this project.

Partners *in Color


February 2023

A visual homage to Better Call Saul.

Several months after sharing Partners in black and white, I reconvened with Justin and Katherine to shoot and edit an alternate cut of Partners in color. With added scenes and references, this version serves as a tribute to the colorful cinematography of Better Call Saul.

Between Two Worlds


September 2023

A visual homage to Twin Peaks.

After Partners, I knew I wanted to create another visual homage. And it didn’t take long to realize Twin Peaks was the answer. This is both my personal interpretation and a collaborative recreation of the iconic tapestry of David Lynch’s strange and wonderful world of Twin Peaks. I cannot express how thankful I am to the people involved in its creation—all friends who share a passion for film and television.

Partners *Black & White


August 2022

A visual homage to Better Call Saul.

In light of Better Call Saul coming to an end, I got together with a few friends who share my love of the show to create this black and white short film as an homage to the creatives behind the show and their amazing visual storytelling. Thank you to Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Marshall Adams, Paul Donachie, and the whole crew of Better Call Saul for giving us six unforgettable seasons.
