Hey you guys! It’s finally pumpkin spice season.

But, don’t forget it’s also rule-from-a-throne-fashioned-from-the-bones-of-your-enemies season.

So mix it up!

Our Regal Cinema had a #Jaws option for the photo booth!

Jaws 4DX was wonderful. Beautiful restoration, gorgeous 3D.

8 years of pitching. 10 plus drafts. 6 months of prepping for the Kickstarter. 10 days of shooting. Months of post. We aren’t at the finish line yet…
But we are dropping a teaser trailer Wednesday 8/27!

Life finds a way.

This took longer than I'd hoped, but I'm excited to say that my adaptation of Jack Hill's Spider Baby has been submitted to the publisher.

Who knew grad school and a feature would cut down on my writing time? ;)

I can't wait to share this book with all of you!

Ooooh! I love this game. Those are great images. My fave mood board is the one for my meta/time-travel slasher, Don't Split Up. All that ooey-gooey 80's goodness.

When I tell people I enjoy teaching teens (high school and college) I usually get looks of shock.

Growing up is hard. Fun, yes. But what kind of mess are we leaving them?

I caught this pic of young people protesting on campus .”No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!”

Yup! This is me, healing up two weeks after a skate park accident. I was upset I got hurt so badly despite wearing a helmet and was told “it did its job. You’re conscious and you don’t have a shunt.”

Wear your helmets!

I must have been on to something when I made this poster for our lil no-budget short, because Hunt a Killer game company spotted our poster on the X-Twit-Hellsite, asked to see the film, and then licensed it for use in a Halloween game campaign.

Haven't designed another poster since. 🤷‍♀️

The new foster floof is settling in nicely. From the mean streets to Christmas Eve on the couch.
