Caleb is a filmmaker, visual artist, and sabbath person. His digital and material works weave primal visuals with themes of mortality, cultural pluralism, and human archetype to create something both current and ancient-feeling.
His in-process brand Other Temple is a container for alternative media spanning genre, format, and discipline.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and dog.
