Purgatory Road Trailer

Due to filmmaking commitments, I haven't posted on this blog for some time.

I'm hoping to re-commence at least occasional posts soon as the work load diminishes somewhat.

In the last 12 months, I've been busy completing PURGATORY ROAD, a religion-themed horror film  set in Mississippi.

The film will be released in the second quarter of 2018.

Below is the first trailer:

Stressed To Kill Opens in Los Angeles Tomorrow

My new film, STRESSED TO KILL, opens in LA tomorrow.

If you want to attend the opening night, follow this blog, and live in the LA area, post a message with your name in the comments section here. I'll comp the first five people and put your name on the door.

The film has been 18 months in the works, and is responsible for my lack of posting over the period.

Apologies for that.

Both Bill Oberst Jr. and Armand Assante turn in amazing performances, and I'm so grateful for their involvement in the film.

Other standouts: Lance Tafelski, Sonia Curtis, Marshal Hilton, Derek Roberts, Lynn Single, Paul Fanning, Tom Parnell, Mary Krantz

The Good Sport (Shooting Soon)

As we have just completed 120/80: STRESSED TO KILL (see art and trailer a few posts down), the next film to go into production -- with partner Tom Parnell -- is THE GOOD SPORT, a fast-paced, bloody thriller set in the world of Little League sports.

We're currently exploring shooting scenarios, and trying to pick the best state for filming from both a creative and financial perspective.

Production company is Delirium.

I'll post updates here.

Armand Assante's 120/80: Stressed To Kill (first trailer)

My fringe film career marches on.

Here is the latest trailer and art.

Film stars Bill Oberst Jr. and Armand Assante.

The Scum Are Cumming Soon

Finally, after two years of shooting, POND SCUM is nearing the finishing line.

Thanks to a talented, dedicated cast, and devoted 'crew', this challenging cinematic odyssey will soon leave its creative womb and slither forth into the world.

Hopefully, those who enjoyed films of mine such as MARAUDERS and the BEYOND THE PALE (aka PENETRATORS) series will find something to like here.

Daddy's Pride and Joy

A father seriously lacking intestinal fortitude has a tough time dealing with his daughter's murderous nature.

Although he finds a solution to his 'problem', the solution, like many solutions, creates many more problems.

I'm going into production on this film towards the end of the year. I'm very excited by the prospect.

Righting Wrongs Via Mutilation (Pond Scum)

The Pond Scum (CineNature; 2013) shoot is coming to end.

This past weekend, force of nature Renae Boult finally addressed a very murky chapter in her character's checkered life. 

It was definitely 'Ladies' Day' on the Pond Scum set, and these ladies finally faced a rather shocking truth about their pasts.

More than a year in the making, the film has been blessed with stellar performances from Renae Boult, Paul Fanning, Ward Boult, Vida Gaffari, Jacqui Fanning, and the indefatigable Marc Edward Heuck 

The POND SCUM Folio

I haven't posted a lot lately as I've been knee-deep in the final shoots of my next-to-be-released feature Pond Scum.

After more than a year of protracted and challenging shooting, it's coming together very nicely and I'm pretty happy with how what I conceived is being translated to the screen. 

The film's amazing case -- Renae Boult, Ward Boult, Paul Fanning, Marc Edward Heuck, Dawna Lee Heising, and Vida Gaffari -- have been exceptional partners in the process of bringing this twisted tale to the screen.

Don't Kow-Tow To The Noise

 

 

Two years in the making, my film Pond Scum nears completion.

Truly a collaborative effort, it has grown and morphed and mutated like a living organism into something that is, strangely enough, about the nature of creativity.

 

What I like most about filmmaking is the evolution of each project, and how the subject matter brings the like-minded together.

Frankly, I make films based on what fires me up. I make films with budgets and without budgets. There is always a way. That's what being creative is. Finding a way. Finding your own way. And ignoring the noise of negativity, envy, those projecting their own insecurities onto you, and those kow-towing to convention.

 

I have no illusions about Pond Scum's fate beyond completion.

It is dedicated to cinema's great revolutionary, Koji Wakamatsu, who may spin in his grave when he sees it. Who knows!?

The Circus of Dread Is Coming

My next project, Circus of Dread, has had a lengthy gestation period, and is finally approaching production.

Bill Oberst Jr. and Domiziano Arcangeli topline this dark, brutal, sensual, and action-packed story of two brothers sucked into the grotesque maelstrom of an underground circus.

Without a doubt, this is just the sort of Pulp that this blog is dedicated to --  and , I trust, something special for lovers of dark, weird, and 'fantastique' cinema. 

As a lifelong lover, devotee, and fan of this material, my mission is to make a movie that I would love to see myself, that I would embrace for its originality, passion, and raw truth.

That's my challenge, and its my responsibility to engage my audience, give them a cracking good time, and disturb the shit out of them with compelling characters in unpredictable situations.

This first piece of art is by the brilliant Santiago Caruso, whose work I've showcased several times on this blog. For me, it perfectly captures the spirit of this considerable creative undertaking, a true collaboration of like-minded individuals. They know who they are, and I'm grateful to them all.

The circus IS coming! Nothing can stop it.
