More DEADGIRL Screenings ...

I wish that I could write about the stuff that I've been working on ... reading this site these days makes me feel like a bum or something, what with the dearth of reportable work ... Wish I could talk about the couple of writing projects that I've been pitching around lately, wish that I could tell you about the script that I wrote for a company that I can't mention that's currently in the hands of a really cool director whose name I won't say ... wish that I could talk about a few potential acting gigs that may or may not be coming up (one of them would include some international travel, which would be a first for me) ... but I can't.

Wish in one hand, shit in the other, as the old saying goes.

What I can tell you is that I went and recorded an audio commentary track for DEADGIRL's eventual DVD release and while there, got to chat with the directors who clued me in to some upcoming festival screenings ... only three of which I can mention.

First up, we're the closing night film at the 2009 San Francisco Independent Film Festival in February. Three screenings - two on the 19th of February, one on the 22nd. You can get more info, buy tickets, or read their really great write-up of the film by clicking HERE.

We're also screening at FRIGHT FEST UK in Glasgow on February 20th ... they call it, "an emotionally shattering and provocative shocker." High praise, indeed. More info about the festival and the screening can be found HERE.

We're also screening in France for the first time at the Festival of Gérardmer. We're screening I think five times and are a part of the Official Competition. Pretty cool. More info about the festival can be read (in French) right HERE.

We've got a couple more big festival screenings coming up. I'll announce as soon as it's okay to do so!

All this text these days and no new pictures ... here's a shot from Toronto with Jovanka Vuckovic, editor of the incredible horror culture magazine RUE MORGUE to tide you over until I do something worth taking a picture of ...

Happy Belated New Year ...

Ooops. Looks like it's been a while since I've updated the blog. You know how it goes - holidays and then the family and I took a week-long trip to Indiana to visit my folks and before you know it, it's January 12th already.

And, to be quite frank, there's not a heck of a lot to report right now.

I've got a couple of potential projects in the works, but nothing that I can talk about at the moment. I've got some meetings this week, so maybe one of them will give me a nugget or two of info to share. Stay tuned for that.

Just been working on a spec script (the last one I wrote way back in October got rejected and is currently - possibly forever - collecting dust). Looking to have it finished in the next few weeks.

Sometime next week I'm going to record my audio commentary track for the DEADGIRL DVD. No, I don't know when it's going to be available, but I can safely say that it'll be sometime in 2009.

Golly. You'd think that I'd have more to talk about after almost a month's absence.

I'm feeling that "take charge and kick some ass" thing that comes at the beginning of a new year, which means that I'll probably be popping up here and updating with more frequency ... regardless of whether I've got something interesting to talk about.

Yeah.
