I made a feature film for less than $250, and it is now available through POV Horror!

It’s called .ask, it’s a found footage movie, and I made it as inspiration/proof of concept for hopeful filmmakers. Learn more here:

It’s a science fiction martial arts musical and I couldn’t love it any more: SIX-STRING SAMURAI!

Without Shutter Island or Inception, this ranking got messy, but I’ve done worse. And so has Leonardo DiCaprio.

A #horrormovie baked after a punk band that is funny and surprisingly sweet, check out UNCLE PECKERHEAD!

GENIUS: The AI bubble can’t burst, too many people like it and want it.

ME: Remember 2008? Way more people need homes than need AI, and that shit still tanked.

Is this #horrormovie one of Samuel L. Jackson’s best performances?

RAVENOUS combines cannibalism, westerns, and comedy, and it’s a blast!

Ryan Philippe has only directed one #horrormovie and it’s called CATCH HELL.

Heartbroken to report one of the originators of found footage filmmaking, Peter Watkins, just passed away.

From Punishment Park to The Gladiators, his work gave power & credibility to a genre we love. This is a huge loss. Watch a found footage film in his honor:

Peter Watkins obituary: radical British filmmaker behind The War Game and Punishment Park
The maverick filmmaker and pioneer of the docudrama, whose anti-establishment works redefined political cinema and challenged the very language of mass media, has died aged 90.

RIDICULOUSNESS was cancelled after 14 SEASONS! As the show on TV with arguably the lowest cost for production of nearly anything, it begs the question: do any companies want to make anything anymore?

He’s more than just Silent Bob—he made a great religious siege #horrormovie with a LOT of familiar faces.

Why do people treat AI like they treat kids writing their first book report?

What it creates is clearly awful, but still they smile & nod & pat it on the back & show it to the other parents with “pride.”

Treat it like the rushed, sloppy, error-ridden high school essay it is and flunk that fucker.

We won’t be getting a classic #JusticeLeague in the new #DCU, but maybe we’re getting something equally cool…

Has James Gunn already secretly introduced #Brainiac into the #DCU? I have a theory…

The Lowdown. Blue Moon. Black Phone 2.

Ethan Hawke is having an absolutely stellar 2026.
