Rex Bixby (Feature Film) - Creator, Director, Editor, Sound Designer
Once Nomadic VR and the entire world shutdown due to Covid-19, I lost everything and began to capture my own interpretation of the world. As an immersive VR developer stuck in lockdown, the overwhelming desire to create forged the beginnings of a feature length movie.
Rex Bixby is a Sci-Fi dark comedy about life's uncertainty with a psychedelic and sinister theme. While keeping true to its core of playful spontaneity, it touches on deep themes of self-worth, failure, and paranoia.
Given the circumstances, no script or traditional screenplay was used during this creation. Instead a simple story based on true events was constructed around opportunities to improvise scenes shot on an iPhone. As one can remember the eerie emptiness during lockdown, Rex Bixby was able to capture this un-simulated place in time with access to desolate, surreal, and uniquely intriguing places.
Post capture I spent 3 years editing, sound designing, and scoring the movie to create a personal look into the paranoid state of 2020.
