I suppose it’s time to start making the Behind The Scenes for AFAR. 🤣

Greetings from AFAR! Do I have any YouTube streamers, Twitch players of Steam Curators out there that want to see if they have what it takes to survive Barlang Valley?! The 90s-inspired FMV survival horror experience of a lifetime awaits...

Such an immense honor to be nominated at Nightmares Film Festival for AFAR. Beyond grateful that something as out there as AFAR was even applicable to be recognized. Can't wait for everyone to finally be able to give it at play next weekend in Ohio!

Testing out the upcoming AFAR interactive DVD… so far so GOOD!

The DVD for AFAR is getting MUCH closer! Stay tuned!
September 23, 2025 at 8:32 PM
I remember thinking AFAR would be less work than a regular movie at the beginning. 70 clips later, I’ve finally got this interactive DVD cooking!

Last day of post-production on AFAR! Current mood:

I’ve made the tough call to cancel JTRO FEST. Asking people to pour their energy into this with me just wasn’t the right time. Refunds are on the way for ticket holders.

Next up: releasing AFAR next month + getting THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD off the ground. Thanks for the support.

Proofing the “AFAR:Choose your own horror” paperback!

Just 2 weeks left to get your tickets for JTRO FEST!

If you’re planning to submit a short or a script, all you need to do before the campaign ends is grab your ticket, that locks in your intent to submit so we can schedule.

Final deadline for submissions is September 29th. LFG!
August 23, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Update!

In addition to film submissions, JTRO FEST is now accepting short film scripts (5 pages and under). I’ll be reading them live with surprise guests and giving DIY advice on how you can bring your vision to life with the resources YOU have!
August 21, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Don’t let your creativity drift away. Come to JTRO FEST and we’ll celebrate whatever you make!

Worried about budget or gear? Think outside the box: narrate a story, make a phone call scene over black. Get creative!

I believe in you. Let’s show the world what YOU can do!
August 20, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Got an idea? Got a phone (or any type of camera)? Then you’ve got NO excuse not to have your creation celebrated at JTRO FEST. Zero gatekeeping. Shorts, panels, workshops, awards... ALL DIY.

I’m doing an AMA so drop your questions about the fest, AFAR, or DIY filmmaking below!

Into the depths of AFAR now! Stay Tuned!
