New West (short) (2022)  – Cinema Crazed Gene and Trigger, a duo for the ages, made their way from outlaws to film stars but like many famous duos, they’ve had their issues which they must now overcome to fight an old foe.

A really great review for my film “New West”!

Underrated classic!

“Crust” is now available to rent and own on multiple platforms (Amazon Prime, etc…) Happy to have played the tiniest part in helping it get made.

If you want to see a horror/comedy about friendship, finding yourself, and a killer sock creature made out of dried jizz and tears - this one’s for you!

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.

I miss when ‘sticking it to the man’ didn’t mean sticking it to science, history, and basic empathy.

Writing isn't magic; it's a process. It can be taught, learned, experimented with, and developed. Given enough study, practice, and workshopping, every single one of you can write something worth reading.

Every. Single. One. Of. You.

late 90s horror

I started being regularly published when I was 25. I didn't make my first dollar writing until I was 30. I didn't sell my first novel or screenplay until I was 35. Many of you hadn't even heard of anything I'd written until I was over 40.

You have time. There is no expiration date on writers.

The Fog (1980) Directed by John Carpenter

Most people think filmmaking is glamorous, but sometimes it’s finding yourself in a Walmart in deepest, darkest Canada at 9:30 on a Sunday, stocking your hotel room with embarrassing junk food so when you stagger in at 3am from a long shoot you don’t have to rely on vending machines for nourishment.

Halloween, Jack Frost, Horror

5 things I believe as a director:

1. Films are rarely better that their scripts.
2. Films are rarely better than their lead performances.
3. Films are as much sound as picture.
4. Films combine primary art forms: painting/photography, theater, literature, music.
5. Films are emotional experiences.

“Write every day” is generalist advice. The more you write the more the act of it becomes muscle memory responding to your thoughts and ideas. But the most important part of writing is maintaining your mental health. If you can’t write today, don’t. Take days or weekends off. Self-care is essential.

Celebrate the Cinema of November

For generations, evangelicals believed there would come a day when they’d be persecuted for their faith, and now that it’s not materializing, they’re finding ways to stir up shit so they can finally fill their dreams of getting run out of town with pitchforks.

Director/Writer Luc Besson’s cult action thriller ‘Léon’ (aka ‘The Professional’) starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Danny Aiello, and Gary Oldman targeted US moviegoers on this day 30 years ago. 👥🔫💥 #OTD

Some days Trump's diet is the only thing that gives me hope.

That cancelled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

Trump, Elon, and Kid Rock is the most profoundly uncool trio I can possibly imagine. How embarrassing for y'all

It was a really great camera to cut my teeth on. I learned a lot about editing by editing in camera on that. Reading Robert Rodriguez’s book and watching all of the BTS on his films helped shape how I approached it all. Still use those same principles today by approaching every shoot as an editor.
