My latest short film, EDEN, reaching the finish line

Picture has been locked on EDEN, and I am now deep into color correction and sound design and VFX work.  The film should be completed within the next 2 weeks and has come a long way due to the excellent work of so many talented individuals.  I'm excited to get the film out there.

Reenactments Wrapped

I was lucky enough to be able to produce some reenactments for a history channel documentary called "Holy Grail in America" a few years back.  One of the more difficult, yet rewarding jobs I've had.  Well, in the last few months I was brought back by the same company, Committee Films, to produce reenactments for a new series they have coming up for the History Channel.  I was also lucky enough to direct a few that were right up my alley.  It was 7 shoot days in some tough conditions, but had a great time with a great cast and crew.  The show will begin airing in December and I think the reenactments should be a fun addition to the show.

ZOMBIE CHIC 3D Screens at SITGES among others.

Well....I was not so great at updating this site, but Zombie Chic 3D had a nice run of festival screenings throughout the early fall.  I was very excited to be back at The Sitges Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantastic de Catalunya with the film making it's European Premiere at the festival in the amazing Auditori theater.

I couldn't have been more pleased to be a part of such an amazing festival again and was bummed I couldn't make the trip to Spain.

I was also very honored to be back at some other festivals I have screened at prior as well as some new ones.  The film screened as a part of the Mile High Horror Festival, The Telluride Horror Show, Celluloid Screams, the Twin Cities Film Festival, and the San Pedro Film Festival.  The film was able to screen in its native stereoscopic 3D at most of the fests.

It was nice to see the short find a home over the year.  I'm sure I'll put it online sometime in the coming months.

New Short Film, "EDEN," Wraps Principal Photography

While writing and packaging a feature script I've been working on, I became enamored with the backstory that is largely removed from the feature itself.  When I got the itch to make another short film, I figured that the backstory would make an interesting short film...that is the inspiration for "EDEN."

It ended up being the largest scale production for any short film I've directed in the past and there were a lot of great folks offering up their talents.  I'm excited to hop into post production on this ASAP and release it into the world in the coming months.

Zombie Chic to make International Premiere as part of FANTASIA 2012

I'm extremely excited to announce that Zombie Chic will be making its international premiere at the amazing Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal this July.  I am honored to be back at the festival which always boasts an amazing genre line up.

ZOMBIE CHIC to screen at DARK BRIDGES FILM FESTIVAL

Zombie Chic has been invited to screen as a part of the Dark Bridges Film Festival.  It will screen twice at the festival.  The first screening will be on Saturday, May 5th as it will screen after the festival's Zombie Walk and before the feature "Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal."  It will screen again on Sunday the 6th at noon as a part of the short film block.

TWO MORE FESTIVALS for ZOMBIE CHIC 3D

Happy to announce that Zombie Chic 3D will be screening at a couple of festivals in the near future.

First up is our hometown festival, The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival on April 17th at 7pm at the St. Anthony Main Cinema.  We will be screening the film in glorious 2D, though we very much appreciate the effort MSPIFF put into trying to find a way to project the film in stereoscopic 3D.  For a shorts program...it is a tough sell and they did all they could to make it happen.  Much appreciated!  We'll have fun with the zombie horde in 2D instead!

Next up....THE FUCKING CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!  Not really, but close.  We will be screening as a part of the Catalina Film Festival which will be taking place from May 4th thru the 6th.

SXSW and ZOMBIE CHIC 3D a SUCCESS

Was very fun to be back at SXSW with a project for the 3rd year in a row.  I love that festival and am always honored to be a part of it.  The anaglyph 3D version of Zombie Chic seemed to go over well.  Very nostalgic...but we are for sure ready to start screening it in stereoscopic 3D soon as well.

STUCK BETWEEN STATIONS comes on DVD and VOD March 13th

Happy to announce that you'll be able to get your own copies of "Stuck Between Stations" on March 13th at retailers all over.  If you've missed its theatrical and festival run, here's your chance to finally catch up with the flick.

Zombie Chic 3D glasses arrive. SXSW here we come.

Alright.  Just received a box of these beauties in the mail today.  Old school anaglyph 3D glasses for our SXSW screenings.  Looking forward to the adventure.

Saturday, March 10th at 11:30pm at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz #2
Friday, March 16th at 11:15pm at the Alamo Drafthouse Lamar C

I am very excited to announce that my latest short film, the 3D zombie comedy "Zombie Chic," will be making its world premiere at the SXSW film festival this March.
