Happy New Year! But 2014 Still Has Something To Say...


Happy New Year!

2015 is here, but a blog post from CineMoti earlier last week (long ago in 2014) called "Top 5 New Filmmaking Tools of 2014" is definitely worth a read.

The tools discussed are primarily geared towards indie filmmakers and there are some great ones in the list - I especially like #2 and #1.

Read the full post here.

What tools helped your filmmaking endeavors in 2014?

  • Bullying Awareness Month

    This past summer, we produced an independent feature film called LUCKY. As you may know, October is Bullying Awareness Month. We cut together a trailer to spread the word about our movie which tackles this delicate subject.

    You can find us on IMDB. We will be pitching the project to our contacts at Lion's Gate for distribution as well as Netflix, Redbox and Cable. We will be distributing the film through Amazon, Prime Download and Vimeo On Demand after a film festival run. Our marketing will consist mainly of online ads on Facebook, Amazon, IMDB, Google, Indiewire and Trade magazines such as Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. As we continue post-production, I am sending out press releases to get a buzz going on our project. Our film-making team is dedicated to making a project that will help kids. Together we can help children everywhere!

  • One cannot deny the direction mainstream Hollywood "horror" films are going in, not a direction of true horror, but one of teen screams and cheap scares. And even though PG-13 Hollywood horror has created some gems like The Conjuring, for the most part they have disappointed this horror veteran. This film was no different, it just plain old wasn't scary, or thrilling, or suspenseful. To be fair I liked some the kills but other than that I could not find anything redeeming. happy death day online Its another sad attempt by Hollywood at horror, it just isn't scary. Like many other mainstream horror films, I found myself being bored, waiting for the next scare/kill, only to be disappointed by it. But I suppose if you are a 14 year old girl, like the majority of the theater was, then I suppose it might scare you, but for a man who has been a horror nerd since childhood, this just didn't do it at all for me, I was truly disappointed. the devil's candy release date

    The acting was just so generic it ruined many aspects of the film. Not only did I not relate with these characters, I didn't care if they died or not, which can be an essential aspect of such a horror film as this. Also in the tense moments of suspense, their acting wasn't convincing enough to make the scene actually suspenseful. watch Avengers Infinity War online free hd And another thing I just cant stand is that stupid CGI face-morphing that goes on. Not just in this movie, but in all movies, where the face screams but its mouth is CGI'ed to make it look bigger. Ugh it just sooooooo takes me out of the scare and honestly makes me laugh in embarrassment for whoever thought it looked good. As a horror veteran, these films make me sad, If you are an easily frightened child, go see it, but if you are a horror veteran like myself, this will only disgust you.

Who Am I?

I'm a filmmaker who's produced & directed five feature films including the comedy SPILT MILK (available on iTunes), the new horror/thriller PHOBIA (on iTunes) and the action/thiller KILLING DOWN (which you can buy or rent at pretty much all the usual places).

I also created the Streamy and Webby award-winning web series PINK, which to date has been viewed online around 10 MILLION times at places like YouTube, Hulu, Koldcast and TheWB.com. And speaking of TheWB.com, I also produced and directed an online thriller for them called EXPOSED. It was released summer 2010. And most recently I created a new online sci-fi series called CONTINUUM, which is part of the online indie TV network JTS.tv - Just The Story and NOW available via VOD through indie platform Distrify.

Oh, and I don't shoot weddings. Thanks for asking though.
