One night, while packing up her dad’s things after he has moved to a nursing home, May stumbles across a seemingly endless hole in the floor. Unable to make sense of the relentlessly spinning spool whose weighted bait continues to go deeper and deeper into it, May is soon joined by her sister, and a complex conversation ensues. Head to the link in bio to watch ‘Spool’ and everything that unfolds next.

You can now watch #toxicshort on @crypttv! Journey into the disturbing depths of Darren’s fragile ego as it becomes clear that his night out will fall short of his deluded expectations. Starring the incomparable Kesha Castle-Hughes, this short should make you feel VERY uncomfortable!

Focusing on some positives from 2026 so far. Legos and art and book trucks and beach walks help keep the whimsy alive. And of course, my cute as all get out nephew. #positivitywatchdog
