Jonathan Flookes - Where The Buffalo Roam

Raised in the rugged wilds of Texas, where most children chase armadillos, Flookes was crafting cinematic masterpieces at 14—with nothing but a Hi-8 video camera, action figures, and a dream. The shorts? Critics called them “the best worst films” ever made, watched by no one, but destined for stardom. Obviously.

Fast forward to 2005—Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners’ basement. Yes, that’s where it all began, in the dark, forgotten underbelly of the creative world. But even from such humble depths, Flookes rose like a phoenix. Three years at TEAK? Merely a warm-up. A decade at Umlaut Films? Child’s play.

In 2020, Flookes ascended to new heights, joining WTBR. A creative Everest? Perhaps. But really, just the next chapter in a saga that the universe itself insists must be told.
