His films are often noted for their Deadpan Acting style and dialogue that is simultaneously philosophical and funny. He often composes and performs the music for his films under the Pseudonym Ned Rifle. Unlike most feature film directors, Hartley also makes many short films, which have been collected in DVD anthologies. Hartley's unique style has helped him develop a cult following. Many of his films have recurring themes, including settings on Long Island , where he was born; discomfort with technology; and foreigners at odds with local culture. He also uses many of the same actors repeatedly, including Robert Burke , Martin Donovan , Elina Lowensohn , Adrienne Shelly , Karen Sillas and Damian Young . FILMOGRAPHY
