100 Things All At Once

Apologies for the lack of posts as of late.

I wrote out a long-winded blog post about what is going on, but I just deleted it in favor of something brief:

I've got a whole mess of things on my plate right now: movies and pieces of movies in various stages of development; small projects that have turned into large ones; freelance illustration jobs; etc.

Plus more and more work from work being brought home on top of family commitments.

Stuff is happening, but at a slow pace.

The main thing, though, is that I am in more of a "wait until it's done" mode of posting, rather than a "this is happening right now" mode of posting.

The "glimpse behind the scenes as projects develop" approach is interesting to be sure, but also leads to disappointment when a project someone reads about takes a long time to finish, or gets pushed aside for another project or just doesn't end up going anywhere. At this point, so many of these projects are taking forever as my time is spread thinner and thinner, that I'd just rather wait until some things are wrapped up to blab about them here.

Of course I could change my mind tomorrow. That's the beauty of this blog thing. Another day, another post.

For now, those of you following this, stay tuned!!!

Scent of the Sasquatch - Watch It Now!

I decided to put this segment up online to share with folks. It was so much fun to make! It will still be a part of the TRULY DREADFUL TALES horror anthology. Enjoy the bigfooty goodness!

Summer's Flyin' By

My summer is getting packed with all sorts of personal and family stuff going on. Nothing bad, just keeping me busy, and away from movie stuff.

Good news is I finished the music and sound effects for the 'BeetleManiac' segment for TRULY DREADFUL TALES.

Tim Shrum is still working on shooting the 'Crazed' segment for that down in Oklahoma. Here's a pic from today's shoot:



Still working on finishing up the body prop for BLOOD CREEK WOODSMAN pick-up shots.

See y'all in the fall!

Scent of the Sasquatch Title Card

CRAZED!!!

Truly Dreadful Tales is coming together, with the last two segments currently in production. I shot about 80% of the Bigfoot segment this weekend and meanwhile Tim, of Kid Schlocko fame has started work on the "Crazed" segment. He's been posting updates over at the Kid Schlocko blog and I am excited!! Here are a few pics:


Paper mache' guns! Cool!


The landlord's nosey daughter! Hot!

Scent of the Sasquatch

Shot the bulk of a short called SCENT OF THE SASQUATCH today. Here are a bunch o' pics! Bryn Kristi as enjoys a cup of tea as she chats on the phone.  Dez Rona and Bryn chat before heading out... "Feels like we're being watched or something..." Shooting the raging Bigfoot! You can trust me. I'm with the government. Who knew that Bigfoot wore Converse? The cast! The cast again! Beauty and the Beast! Beauty and the Beast Part Two! Tired and sore from hiking around and such. Still a handful of pick-up shots to do at a later date. Everyone was fantastic today! Thanks for all of your help!!!

Percolating...

Have been e-mailing back and forth with someone who is going to shoot the "Crazed" segment for TRULY DREADFUL TALES. He's getting actresses cast, building props, etc. Very excited to see how it turns out. Meanwhile I am working on scheduling shooting the last segment for TRULY DREADFUL TALES, a bigfoot short I will shoot & direct.

Filled a couple of DVD orders for DEADLY PREMONITIONS.

Pretty much done with the trailer or TWISTED FATES and am working on finishing up the DVD sleeve. Computer problems have delayed the DVD authoring, but I'll be looking into some other options in the next couple of weeks. Would really love to get it done, duplicated and have a swell screening sometime this summer.

Working on a schedule for shooting the last remaining BLOOD CREEK WOODSMAN pick-up shots.

Heading to the Markum Inn this weekend for a Jumbo Markum Burger!

Oh, and mostly busy with work and family stuff, but still trying to finish up all these movie projects stacked on my plate.

Bit by bit...
