  • films page update!

    You can now view the short films I have worked on by clicking the “films” button at the top of my home page (or if you’re on mobile, tapping the navigation bar and selecting “films”).

    All of the short films I’ve worked on have been for my good buddy Jan Winters – one of the funniest and most talented men I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing – and working on these projects with him has been the most rewarding and satisfying experience of my life to date.

    Please do go check them out, you’d be surprised how much blood, sweat, and tears can go into something as brief as a 7-minute short film.

    That being said, some exciting news:

    “PLASTIC COWBOY” – the latest short film project between Jan Winters and I – wrapped shoot on January 19th, 2025 and has entered post-production!

    Stay tuned for a follow-up announcement when the trailer drops. For now, here’s a couple photos from behind the scenes of the movie!

    See ya real soon,

  • hello, world!

    My name is Riley, and I’m from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

    I like: making movies, watching movies, writing, drawing cartoons, painting, listening to music, and cooking.

    I dislike: peas, microwave dinners, skinny jeans, cheap sunglasses, sticky fingers, and dentists.

    I thought this site would be a good place to share the things I create – and perhaps light a small fire under my little ass to get into some sort of semiregular creative routine.

    I have several projects I’ve completed already that will be shared imminently – but for the time being here are two photos of me:

    Photo I took of my friends and I, when I was about nine years old, with an underwater disposable camera. That’s me up front.

    See ya real soon,
