Yesterday was our anniversary of moving to Los Angeles. I thought I wasn’t celebrating enough then I realized I edited my feature film, recorded a podcast, bought a Raymond Chandler book, and drank a forced perspective martini. A very LA day.

Got up early this morning to do some editing on our horror film DEAD MEDIA before the real life horrors sunk in for the day. I was kept company by Smokey The Bear and some of the images above my desk—an exhausted Dale Cooper and a young Frank Sinatra’s mugshot

t's Bandcamp Friday! The day where artists get full proceeds. I've got several comedy albums AND a creepy cosmic horror story I wrote and performed called THE BEAST THAT ATE THE DAWN. Set in the flour mills of old Minneapolis, an ad man loses his mind.

I just hope Amazon puts the focus back on classic James Bond storytelling elements. Like the long history of villains that are grossly wealthy, insecure egomaniacs desperate to validate their fragile egos with wild schemes to control the media, governments, and space itself.

I enjoy filmmaking because you learn a lot about the human experience. I’ve been editing close-ups for the last four hours and marveling at the truth that when we blink one eye opens before the other. Anyway, getting excited for my next horror movie, FREEZE FRAME

I'm excited for the Captain America film this weekend. I know the reviews have been rough but:

1) I like experiencing films for myself
2) Cap films/shows are my favorite in the MCU
3) A lot of racists will be thrilled if the movie does poorly and I want to use my entertainment dollars to tell them to go to hell

Today seems like a good day to share the short horror movie I wrote and directed called THE NIGHTMARE ADORABLE. It's an explicitly political film about who gets to enjoy horror and who tries to control it. Plus, knives!
