CHOP North American Premiere!

That's right - sometime during the last week of March, an audience in Boston will be the first people in the U.S. to see CHOP. We've been announced as an official selection at the Thirteenth Annual Boston Underground Film Festival!



I've had a few movies that I've either written or acted in play at BUFF and I hear nothing but great things about the festival, so it's really exciting to have them play my directorial debut. I don't know all of the details yet - i.e. date, time, location, etc. - but will update the blog accordingly as I get more info. In the meantime, you can read about CHOP and some of the other selections at the BUFF Kickstarter page (where you can give a donation in exchange for discounted passes and tickets and other goodies):

I don't think that I know anyone in Boston and I've never been there, but maybe some of my Providence/SPLATTER DISCO/FEEDING THE MASSES folks will take the 45 minute trip to Boston to check it out ...

... Regardless, I just wanna say congratulations and thanks to everyone who worked with me on CHOP!

Got some interesting DEADGIRL news recently. Apparently the CHILLER CHANNEL is going to be showing DEADGIRL in the month of March ... don't know much about the Chiller Channel, so I'm not sure if they air movies un-cut or not ... I'd be interested to see how they get around the material if they do edit for TV ... the movie would be like 45 minutes long ...

Also, Dark Sky will be releasing DEADGIRL on Blu-Ray in August. Not only will you get to see the movie in full HD glory, but they're working on additional supplemental materials ... one of which will be a .PDF of the original first draft screenplay of DEADGIRL (I just emailed it off yesterday) ... Now folks will be able to read the truly disgusting, super-violent, and nasty script in its totally original form ... Don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I'm pretty excited to have it on there.

Was going to supplement this entry with another Trent Opinion Piece, but I just turned in a massive re-tooling of my SyFy Channel script yesterday and I'm gonna take it easy on the writing today ... but I'm trying to keep this blog updated a bit more these days, so maybe that Op-Ed will show up sooner than later (along with more festival and work updates, naturally).

Later!
