Sex is funny.  Relationships are funny.  It's this fact of life that I've banked my entire career on.  I have no ability to censor myself and it comes through in my films.  My fourth film, Four Short Stories About Sex, is (how clever is this?) Four Short Stories (yes, I titled it what it is) each tackling some issue of sex amongst couples.  Infidelity, One Night Stands, Paying for sex and Bad dates that end in good sex are all proofs that nothing is sacred, which was further proven in my first year when I tackled religion and suicide (which in some ways, go hand and hand).

"Twisted Love" is a comedy about sex, psychiatry, ideal relationships, and real ones.

"Rules of Three" is a comedy about threesomes.  When a couple decides to have a threesome to "spice up" their love life, hijinx ensue.
