FACES OF UNIVERSAL HORROR so far…
Not sure if I’m gonna make it the full 31 days (deadlines and all that) but I’ll give it my best shot.

WEREWOLVES was rejected by every film festival we submitted it to. Then Universal bought it. This echoes my entire career. Never a festival darling but always got my films distributed by major labels.

A few yrs back, I collaborated on a graphic novel adaptation for the unfilmed NIGHT SKIES (1980). Our pitch was to create what should feel like a tie-in comic as if the film were actually released in the early 80s, all in the style of Spielberg era films. Unfortunately, it didn’t it come to pass.
