All sorts of news!

Hello everyone! I have a whole boatload of news as I have been a very busy boy lately. First on the list is that I have landed a role in the upcoming horror epic titled "Blood de Madam: The Fallen Ones" in a principle role. Also starring in the film are horror greats Ari Lehman, Tiffany Shepis, Felissa Rose, Lloyd Kaufman, and Monique Dupree! As you can imagine, I'm quite stoked about it!

My short film "Scalpel" that I wrote, prouduced, and directed is currently making the festival rounds. It screened in the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase as well as KDHX's Coming UP Shorts Program and will be in Idaho Ave. Film Festival in St. Louis, MO on Sep. 13 as well. I have been sending it all over the place and hopefully will have many more fests to announce soon.

On the topic of fests, another short called "The Blind Date of Coffin Joe" in which I have a short appearance has screened in the Fright Night Film Festival and will also be in the Dark Carnival Film Fest as well as the Idaho Ave. Film Festival. (and hopefully many others to come)

I just learned that I will be a special guest along with the Hack Movies production company (makers of offensive horror comedy) at the 1st annual Monstrous Weekend in St. Louis, MO on Oct. 24-26. The lot of us will be signing autographs, schmoozing it up, and of course, doing as much shameless promotion as possible on all our collective projects.

Speaking of being a special guest, I will also be on blog talk radio's Independent Film United podcast on Sep. 3rd at 8pm (cst). I will be talking about all sorts of things including my past and future projects, filmmaking, how to go about making connections, and of course, The 1 Second Film.

Please check out the various links for the projects and topics I mentioned above and feel free to tell everyone you've ever known about my appearance on IFU. (Call-ins are welcome as well.) Thanks!
