This explanation from my father posed a question to my 3 year old brain. Okay, I know it's not real now, but how did they do that then? As I've grown older this is fundamentally the same question I'm still asking all these years later."</p> <p>DUSTIN AUSTEN FILMOGRAPHY AS DIRECTOR:</p> <p>BaKrU: Short Film Stooge!: Short Film Dirty Money: Short Film Three Wishes: Short Film Nobody Loves Me: Short Film Three Till Doomsday: Short Film Bad Friend (co-director): Feature Film The Grindhouse Massacre: Feature Film Stateless: VFX REEL The Shootout: Short Film Breaking Lunch: Short Film High Hopes: The Amityville Murders: Short Film OSS 2008 Spooktacular Ad: Advertisement Outpost 31(student film version): Short Film 2010 Cleveland Charity Zombie Walk Ad: Advertisement Fiendish Tales: Web Series, Pilot Episode Hell Kittens (co-director) Feature Film</p> <p>FILMOGRAPHY AS CINEMATOGRAPHER</p> <p>BaKrU: Short Film Stooge!: Short Film Dirty Money: Short Film Three Wishes: Short Film Nobody Loves Me: Short Film Three Till Doomsday: Short Film Bad Friend (co-director): Feature Film The Grindhouse Massacre: Feature Film Curse of the Wolf: (Killerwolf Films) Feature Film Stateless: VFX REEL The Shootout: Short Film Breaking Lunch: Short Film Fist of the Vampire: (Killerwolf Films) Feature Film High Hopes: The Amityville Murders: Short Film The Spookshow: (Old School Sinema) Feature Film OSS 2008 Spooktacular Ad: Advertisement Outpost 31(student film version): Short Film 2010 Cleveland Charity Zombie Walk Ad: Advertisement Fiendish Tales: Web Series, Pilot Episode Hell Kittens: Feature Film She Devils A-GO-GO: (Old School Sinema) Feature Film The Four: (Snowdog Studios) Feature Film</p> <p>FILMOGRAPHY AS EDITOR</p> <p>BaKrU: Short Film Stooge!: Short Film Dirty Money: Short Film Three Wishes: Short Film Nobody Loves Me: Short Film Three Till Doomsday: Short Film Bad Friend (co-director): Feature Film The Grindhouse Massacre: Feature Film Curse of the Wolf: (Killerwolf Films) Feature Film Stateless: VFX REEL The Shootout: Short Film Breaking Lunch: Short Film Fist of the Vampire: (Killerwolf Films) Feature Film High Hopes: The Amityville Murders: Short Film The Spookshow: (opening titles by) (Old School Sinema) Feature Film OSS 2008 Spooktacular Ad: Advertisement Outpost 31(student film version): Short Film 2010 Cleveland Charity Zombie Walk Ad: Advertisement Fiendish Tales: Web Series, Pilot Episode Hell Kittens: Feature Film She Devils A-GO-GO: (Old School Sinema) Feature Film The Four:(select sequences by) (Snowdog Studios) Feature Film</p>
