Who are those guys? Poets or something? I always see them around coffeeshops…no laptops…weird…are they artists? Philosophers?…They seem like they must be around 40...

Reveries and its follow-up Reveries: Going Deeper are comedy tome poems/visual albums/experimental films revolving around two mysterious drifters who never speak but whose inner monologues carry us across a landscape of absurdist one-liners, surreal stories, and stream-of-consciousness musings. Backed by a dreamy original score and hallucinogenic montages created from camcorder footage shot over the course of years all around the world, Reveries is a singular, unclassifiable experience at the intersection of alt comedy, internet video art, and underground weirdo cinema.
