In a week and a half, I have one film playing at two festivals and two films playing in one festival. For my New England people, you can check out both The Other Christmas Show and A Genre Fluid Film at the Access Film Fest November 7-8!

In a couple of weeks, I will have a film play at two festivals simultaneously. And the festivals have nothing to do with each other. It just coincidentally worked out this way.

I've been away on a Hollywood vacation, so I'm only just now getting the chance to post that The Other Christmas Show is now up to 3 festival selections! After the Amazing Fantasy Fest next month, it will be a part of the Monadnock International Film Festival in October!

It’s been a wonderfully productive first weekend of production on my new short film. Everything has been great so far, and we’ll continue in a couple of weeks!

It has been far, far too long since I’ve filmed anything. (To be fair, I just recently finished a film that spent a long time in post-production). Today however, I am at long last starting production on a new short film!

I’m starting to get everything ready to shoot a film this weekend. Wow, it’s been way too long since I’ve done this!

The premiere of The Other Christmas Show had a fantastic turnout, even though I constantly felt like I wasn't doing enough to promote it. I know I was clearly doing more than enough, but it never feels that way. Anyway, the film will be making its festival debut in less than a month!

Happy Pride Month! See? The smoke from the bottle is a rainbow now... And also, I'm gender fluid and most of the films I have in the works are about that subject.
