Jack Wyatt
Clay wrote Jack Wyatt in 2015, telling the story of a gold miner who receives a cursed pistol of immense power. Production began in 2016 on a green screen stage in Colorado, with Clay storyboarding every shot to account for the film’s technical demands. During post-production, he spent nearly two years building digital environments from scratch using Blender, Cinema 4D, and Element 3D.
Jack Wyatt earned over fifteen accolades at film festivals worldwide and garnered over a quarter million views on YouTube.
Hold'em
In 2013, Clay wrote and directed his second feature, Hold’em, a horror-thriller centered on an underground Texas hold’em game with a million dollars at stake. Shot primarily with handheld cinematography, the film unfolds largely around a poker table inside a warehouse. Hold’em was an official selection at both the 2014 Buffalo International Film Festival and the 2014 Scare-a-Con Film Festival.
Get Out Alive
Clay wrote, directed, and produced his debut feature, Get Out Alive, in Northern New York in 2012. A tribute to 1970s and 1980s horror classics such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the film follows siblings Paul and Marilyn, whose road trip takes a terrifying turn when they fall prey to two maniacs and their pet monster. Get Out Alive was an official selection at the 2013 Scare-a-Con Film Festival in Syracuse, New York, and attracted attention from horror publication Bloody Disgusting.
