Welcome to The Dirty Cricket Archive

2008-09-02T13:37:00.000-07:00

Over a number of years I have been working on various film projects under the moniker Dirty Cricket. It has at times been a production company, an alter ego and more often an excuse but in the end I, through Dirty Cricket have created a good amount of content and it is my intent to try and collect that here. Some of these were completed by myself alone but most have been completed with various collaborators who I could not have done it without. This site will eventually include EVERYTHING Dirty Cricket has been involved with including the good, the bad and the ugly and I hope once complete nothing should be missing.

I know a lot of the people I have worked with in the past have yet to see the project we worked on and I hope this will provide that completion of our experience. So keep checking back for updates or subscribe to the RSS to get a notification when I've added something new. If you know of something we worked on that isn't up here let me know and I'll try and get it up (or give you a good excuse for why its not).

To the right is a chronological list (as best I can approximate when it comes to the months) and below you'll find a current list of all the films currently in the archive. This list is alphabetical and will be updated when new content is added. If you think I've got the date wrong please let me know, I'd like to make this as accurate as possible.

Enjoy!
