Biography

He is currently living in Madison, SD where he received his Bachelors degree in Web Design / Development and continues his involvement in the performing arts, both on and off stage, today.

Short Films, Music Videos, and Movies

That’s Fucking Hilarious (1999-2003) – Filmed and edited over the course of several years, TFH is an entirely ad libbed 60 minute feature chronicling the adventures of Ted and Lenny as they run from the unusual death of their mutual friend, Bob, a man killed falling onto a rapier.
Flying Tree [Music Video] (2002): A man is troubled by visions of clichés from which he can never escape.
Manwhich [Music Video] (2002): Often described as somewhere between hilarious and disturbing, Manwhich proves that all it takes to make a music video is a man with a camera and a massive ego complex.
Dating the Lesbian [Music Video] (2002): A man and a lesbian date for reasons unknown to either.
Mason Song [Music Video] (2002): Bob Davidson and Matt Wilson wander around the tiny town of Madison, SD singing praises of their mutual friend, Mason Blake in this tongue-in-cheek tribute.
Smile [Music Video] (2002): A man on his toilet (reading a book of "Klooogs") tells the tale of three fans chased by a rabid rock star in this pop-culture parody which pokes fun at everything from Korn to Scooby Doo – and at times, even itself.
Stickers [Music Video] (2002): A man screams at the camera a lot and plays guitar proving once again that good-looking music videos require no real talent.
Angry Dropped-D Song [Music Video] (2002): Random mindless imagery graces the screen in thoughtless progression in this satire of the mindless imagery and thoughtless progression of current "angsty" music videos.
Man from Champs Elysee [Music Video] (2002): The story of an assassin struggling with his inner demons as he strolls down the Champs Elysee is told through this short play in which no character speaks, but rather each convey the themes and emotions expressed in the song through action alone.
Nothing Right (2003) – Starring Chris Deaver as a disturbed individual, incarcerated and questioned by his aggressor, played by Justin Williams, this film plays off the now stereotypical questioning scene existing in almost every bad "cop film."
The Joy in my Pants (2003) – With an approximate running time of two minutes, this short stars Miles Rausch as a man with a most unusual affliction: he’s got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in his pants.
The Lost Bob Interviews (2004) – In the year 2004, Bob Davidson deformed time and space to conduct an interview with himself. This is the footage of that lost interview.
I’m Scared – On TV (2004) – In this short send up of bad reality television, Chris Deaver scours the deep, dark woods as Justin Williams and Bob Davidson direct him onward in his quest to find the ceramic giraffe.
Jimmy (2004) – Jimmy: he’s quite a guy, and in this short montage-like collection of images which totters somewhere between a tribute and an obsession, we pay tribute to the man and the myth that is: Jimmy.
The THF Interviews (2004?) – In preparation for the ultimately ill-fated release of That’s Fucking Hilarious, Bob Davidson and Matt Walker sat down for some off-the-cuff but on-the-record interviews about their new movie, their old lives, and their broken friendship.
Scary Movie (2004-) [Post-production, working Title] – In one of their first collaborations, Bob Davidson and Holly Smith have created a suspenseful thriller in which Holly stars as a criminal investigator caught in the grip of an evil force. With acting support from Bob and a cadre of random cats, this introspective film employs artful use of misdirection and concealment to tell a short tale of an investigation going horribly awry.
Text-to-love (2005) [Stage play] – Directed by Susan Conover and staring the talent of Dakota State University’s own comedic improve troupe, Comedy Bytes, this short sketch tells the tale of one student just a little too attached to his tablet computer. This sketch was featured in the Comedy Byte’s 2005 feature, DSU’s Mobile Comedy Initiative.
El Camino del Librarian (2003-2006) – They say he’s a librarian gone bad – well – he’s just a man, in a world gone worse. This dead-on action movie satire portrays Miles Rausch as the irrepressible Horace Wildrice in his battle against The Army of Invisible Ninja to save his love interest, Rosette (Rose) Levin (played by Quinn Swenson).
That’s What Hammers Are For (2004-) [Post-production] – Alan Geegee (Matt Walker) and his rag-tag group of unlikely acquaintances struggle to solve the mystery of the deadly, though somewhat placid, zombies and the strange double death of Edgar Gonzo (Miles Rausch). This collaboration between Chad the Egad Studio’s brothers in blood, Matthew Walker and Bob Davidson, presents an engrossing, sometimes confusing, but always hilarious take on both the zombie and time-traveling genres.
Mason Blake – Live from DSU’s Underground (2005-) [Post-production] – Mason Blake gives one last farewell concert for his Madison fans before his journey to seek his future in California. Featured in this concert are songs from his album, Where I Belong, along with the other crowd favorites.
Lego Apocalypse (2005-) [Preproduction, Working Title] – In this existentialist post-apocalyptic Lego movie, which is as searing in its satire as it is exciting in its adventure, a band of survivors seek to discover the cause of the event that nearly wiped out their race, and find much more than they had expected, or wanted.
A Weeble's Tale (2005-) [Preproduction, Working Title] – The harrowing tragedy of one Weeble's life and those he touched as he discovers the meaning of his fall.
Smile Redux (2005) [Music Video] – Using footage once thought either useless or unwatchable, Smile Redux chronicles the steady decline of a man who obsesses to the point of hallucination, delusion, and eventually a sort of perverted manifestation, about new media.
