When Bob Briefly Dabbled As A Filmmaker
There was a time that some friends and I started a small production company to put out some short movies. I wrote the came up with the ideas, and wrote the scripts. Then with the help of friends and family we managed to get them made. And they are...not great haha. While I think a few of them are decent, for the most part our inexperience really shows. But we had a blast making them, and they aren't so terrible that I refuse to show them to folks. And who knows, maybe one day I will try to get them remade? Anyway, here you go, if you have about a half hour to blow.
Tarot-ble Guys
Tarot-ble Guys was the last project we did, and if it hadn't been for a problematic name (that we've changed) and some terrible audio issues might have been our best project.
Bridges
This was a found footage horror movie that we shot in Tuskegee National Forest, and probably the best thing we made. Which...it's not great haha.
Shorts
We also did a set of six very short films, that was intended to be the first season of an ongoing series. Considering how they turned out...well let's call it a blessing we didn't carry on lol.
