My name is Gordon. I'm a Brown and USC alum, DGA filmmaker, author, and provocateur exploring the boundaries of media and modern society. My work examines race, class, sexuality, and identity through symbolism, dreams, and the nuances of human connection. Think: David Lynch meets David Foster Wallace - a sardonic, somnambulistic, and sometimes sexy soup.

As an artist, I believe our differences don't limit us to status quo clichés, but preserve the dignity and tradition of art while empowering the diversity of its influencers.
