Pond Scum (The New Trailer)

POND SCUM (pre-release trailer) from CineNature on Vimeo.


POND SCUM is approaching the finish line.

A dedicated cast and crew (Renae Boult, Ward Boult, Dawna Lee Heising, Vida Gaffari, Paul Fanning, Marc Edward Heuck, Jacqui Fanning)  have made this bastard of a project possible.

I appreciate the unreasonable level of commitment from all.

POND SCUM is what I'd loosely call ero-horror, its emphasis being on sociopaths and the consequences of their pursuits. Some of those pursuits are darkly erotic, others are completely insane ventures into places no man or woman should go -- not if they expect to return unscathed.

The film is dedicated to my dear Japanese friend and fellow filmmaker Tomoaki Hosoyama, whose influence and friendship have been priceless and unique.

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.

Indie filmmaking is about persistence. 

A large dose of psychotic optimism doesn't hurt, either. 

I'm grateful for the stellar human beings who are taking this tough journey with me. You all know who you are.

Despite the fact that Pulp IS a way of life, I'd be careful who I recommend it to.
