Individualism withers as we become robots. In the pits of our insecurity, on the seas of our ignorance, we will drown.
The films that we produce, are a layering of questions and observations of our current human and social state. They are investigations and reactions.
The exploitation of human error, true dramatic realism, critical thought and artistic collaboration are the key concepts that we address. From the grandiose persona of a pop culture icon, to the saturation of prime-time television, to the controlling powers of our world, truth is masked - We want to embody it, exploit it, eat it.
These projects are not merely egotistical rituals, but malleable forums of thought, discussion and critique.
This said, our mission is to develop and execute projects that have the potential to stand as financially efficient and stable ventures, yet will not in any way compromise a unique and sharply produced artistic vision.
To Go Numb Films also offers post-production services and consulting. For more info, please contact info @ numbfilms.com

P E T E R B O L T E - Owner / Director Peter Bolte is a Brooklyn, NY based artist and filmmaker. He received his BFA in painting from Webster University in 2000. He then moved to Baltimore and obtained a post-baccalaureate in fine art from Maryland Institute College of Art. While in Baltimore, he expanded his work into film, directing his first avant-garde short, Consuming Capitalism. With that project he began an ongoing audio/visual collaboration with composer Trevor Dunn. From there, he became focused on the narrative with the short film, V.O. (Sean Gullette, Jake Robards – Winner Best Short Film 2005 Berkeley Film Festival). Peter has also directed two award-winning music videos, Liver-Colored Dew (Music by Trevor Dunn’s Trio Convulsant, Ipecac Recordings) and Queen of Displays (Music by One Ring Zero, Barbès Records). Along with his music video credits, he was hired by Nokia in the spring of 2007 to produce and direct two videos shot entirely on a new spec series of camera phones. Additionally, he has worked in various aspects of production for companies including Viacom, Nokia and Black Retail Action Group, where he shot a performance of Savion Glover & the Otherz in 2005 at the Schomburg Center in Harlem. His side projects also include co-editing the provocative documentary Begging Naked, which excelled in the festival circuit in 2007. Peter has exhibited his paintings and films both nationally and internationally at numerous venues including the Nantucket Film Festival, Anthology Film Archives, Issue Project Room, Galapagos Art Space, HereArt, Festival Electrochoc, Barbès Performance Space and Maryland Institute College of Art. He is currently touring the festival circuit with his new short film Veneer, starring Francesco Saviano and Michael Buscemi.
