the bomb is a critically acclaimed immersive film, music, and art installation that puts viewers in the center of the story of nuclear weapons. It explores their immense power, their perverse allure, and the profound death wish at the very heart of them.

Combining archival footage, animation, music, and text, the bomb offers a visceral, non-linear, and unsettling experience, taking audiences inside the complex cultural and technological realm of nuclear weapons.

Live performances of the bomb were staged at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, the Glastonbury Festival, the Sydney Festival, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremonies.

The film at the heart of the bomb made its streaming debut on Netflix and can now be found on Amazon, Apple TV, Tubi, Roku, and other platforms.

In the Fall of 2024, a museum-version of the bomb begins a nationwide tour of university campuses.

"A stunning avant-garde approach to a plea for nuclear disarmament...unique and dazzling."

Entertainment Weekly
"A terrifying multimedia reminder of the power of nuclear weapons...not so much a film as it is an experience... haunting...unsettling...It was as immersive as it gets. The inherent strangeness of the experience--this not knowing what to do with oneself--made viewers vulnerable, which in turn made them more susceptible to the bomb's message."

Newsweek
"An abstract wonder and a literal nightmare: a dazzling view into the abyss."

New York Observer
"Mesmerizing...stunning...[the bomb] makes excellent use of archival materials and its space, building to a powerful, touching conclusion that magically stopped the audience cold in its tracks, creating a powerful communal experience--just as all good cinema ought to.”

The Film Stage
"It’s da bomb."

Hollywood Reporter
"the bomb is a hallucination, an instructional film, a warning film, cultural history, all aestheticized, everything moving as one. Enlightening anti-nuclear opera, which threatens, explodes and is mercilessly emotional. This is how you do this today. This is what can work."
