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.
