Phenomenal year. Lifelong dream came true. Eternally thankful to all involved that brought it to life. And now on to 2026 where we will start up on the next film (and many more things).

Man Finds Tape is a fun, inventive exercise in low budget first person POV/faux documentary narrative. It demonstrates the filmmakers have a strong grasp on using our current media environment to craft a story, as well as how to use genre to create surprises. Free.

If you’re interested here’s my top ten horror films for 2025. Still far too many ‘grief is the monster’ movies but they seem to be thankfully declining. Happy New Year.

2025 was a wild one career wise. I put out 3 films (THE GORGE, BLACK PHONE 2, MAN FINDS TAPE), a novella (ALL THE ASH WE LEAVE BEHIND), appeared in 2 anthologies (HAUNTED REELS 2, THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT), appeared on THE LAST DRIVE-IN, in X-MEN #17, and joined the Masters of Horror.

Man, this was a really cool one to listen to. We made this movie for weirdos like us, so seeing it connect with other weirdos (complimentary) is exciting.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Watched Man Finds Tape last night - excellent new found footage horror movie. You could use it as the basis for a Delta Green campaign. Have your players watch it and then say "this movie was handed to your agents. You need to find out what's really going on." www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN9g...

Yup. Seems like a glaring indictment of investment capitalism that by design it does not allow anything to be perfected. Things can be good enough!
Love how our tools are never allowed to be good enough the way they are. We still use hammers that haven’t changed in 200 years bc they already work, but if they were proprietary tech of HammerSoft they’d work like shit bc investors demanded growth so now HamR v200 uses AI to guess which nail to hit
I don't want new shit. I want Windows to announce they're rolling back like the last five years of crap and also I get to throw tomatoes at their executives.

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Cast. John. Gholson. In. Everything.
I needed to let this long-time passion (acting) turn from just a hobby or a dream into something that defines me. I think I did that.

Saw Avatar Fire and Ash at an AMC Dolby theater last night. It was not advertised as HFR in any way, but it was. Surprisingly, while distracting at first, I kinda dug the 48fps in that world. The real problem to me was constantly jumping back to 24fps.

It’s incredibly exciting when the weird shit we were trying to do resonates with people.
