When starting my university career back in 1997 at the University of Texas at Austin, my first major (of any real dedication) was film. More specifically RTF or Radio, Television, and Film. I kept on this path for about 2 years and inevitably wound up making a number of short films. In some cases the films were made for myself, in others they were made for class projects. If you would like to see some media saved from these films, please click on the links below.

 Momma's casket in the funeral home ready to be interred
My grandmother, Momma as she was called, lived to a ripe old age. Towards the end of her days she sadly suffered from Alzheimer's disease and though she had her good and bad days, the symptoms seemed to be getting progressively worse. Apparently in the last week or so of her life she had become upset with the fact that she could not remember my grandfather's death (her husband) only three months earlier. I think it was probably a good time for her to go.
