Citizens of Nowhere [Film, 2024]
Thanks to the support of Hamilton’s City Enrichment Fund, we were able to produce “Citizens of Nowhere”, a film about MMORPG players in a dying virtual world. This has been a passion project of mine for quite a few years now, and I’m excited to share this film very soon. The film has been submitted…

Exile’s Beyond [Web-Series, 2024]
Equal parts comedy, tragedy, Myst parody, and love-letter to Christopher Guest, Exile’s Beyond is perhaps my last hurrah as a writer/director. It’s a mockumentary web show set in the fringes of the gaming industry of 1997, and I think you’re going to love it.

Steel Town Gaming [Web-series, 2017-2022]
This was a project I started in film school that ended up taking much, much longer than expected. From 2017-2022, this was my opus. There’s a few things I’d change if I could go back, but overall I’m really proud of this thing.

Model Railroad [Short film, 2020]
Quite possibly my best work, Model Railroad is a short film about loneliness, masculinity, and small trains. I don’t want to give too much away before you see it, but this one is really quite good.

Lost Memories [Short Documentary, 2016]
This was a documentary project for a film production class, and although I’m not known for doing real-life stories, I think this one turned out pretty good.

Voyeurism [Short film, 2016]
Of all my film school projects, this one was the best, and it’s not even close.

Here’s an oddity in the Powellfilm canon: a web show I made while I was in middle-school! This one is hosted on the “Dork Daily” YouTube channel (formerly “Numa Network”). There’s a long story to how this one was created, deleted, and ultimately rediscovered. But for now, here’s an early episode:
