You guys are crazy. Wednesday Season 2 is great.

I Know What You Did Last Summer was fun. It was as good/bad as the original two (3 didn’t happen). Felt modern, but leaned very heavily into nostalgia. I can see most people calling it bad… but I had probably the same amount as as I had re-watching the original two recently.

Today I got a rejection email… from Jons Marketplace.
My 20+ years film industry experience wasn’t a good fit for me to work at the grocery store down the street. My several years of retail work at Best But and Circuit City before film school also left me unqualified.

The thing about working through countless rewrites on my indie feature is the mixed emotional whiplash going back and forth between “Man, I am such a better writer since the last draft!” and “Having ANY kind of income would really help this insane depression…”

Here’s my Writer/Director Demo Reel. I wrote most of these films (some were collaborations with other writers), but I directed all of them.
I am looking for representation! (Commercial and Narrative)

This is my Writer/Director Demo Reel from a bunch of projects I’ve made over the years. I wrote the majority of these films (which a few exceptions with other amazing writers). I directed and edited everything here!

Pitch went better than expected. We wowed them. They called us pros.
Specifically called out my storytelling and clear vision as director.
One step closer. 😁

What if READY PLAYER ONE was a horror movie?
A woman trapped in a high-tech prison/reality show must escape the man responsible for her sister's murder as he torments her for his rabid fanbase.
It's not torture if you're doing it for the lolz 🙃

A reclusive woman who is tortured by night terrors must unite with the ghosts who haunt her dreams in order to escape the house of a psychopath.

I don’t do this often, but, hey @crobertcargill.bsky.social! I know you dig the nostalgic style of Tales From The Crypt episodes and movies. If you have about 12 minutes, I’d love to show you my film heavily inspired by that series’ style!
I finally posted my short film, SLOPPY SECONDS, on YouTube! This film answers my question “What if I directed an episode of Tales From the Crypt?”
It’s had a fun festival run, and even got distribution on Tubi. But, now you can see it right here!
