As I said in the last post, it's been a pretty busy time for me. Lots of projects came up. Some of them died on the vine only to be replaced by new ones ... that's what happens in the movie biz, I guess. Plus - and I know I blog about this enough but feel that I must reiterate - I'm always hesitant to hop on here and blog about every damn thing that happens ... I try to keep working and sometimes I succeed ... and that's about it.
But for the sake of completeness, let's see what's been going on:
Wow. Where to start?
CHOP has been hitting festivals like crazy over the past few months. After Edinburgh, we played Albuquerque, Montreal's Fantasia, Fantaspoa and Riofan in Brazil, and Grossman in Slovenia. There are reviews bad and good floating all over the internet in all kinds of languages but I'm not going to bother linking to them here ... I usually put that stuff up on my Facebook Page ... all I can say is that it's really cool to have my directorial debut get some attention andI promise that the next one will be even better!
It was really cool for CHOP to get its very own Rick Tremble's Motion PIcture Purgatory review from the Fantasia screenings, so I've got to put it up here:
Pretty cool ...
Also in the last few months, PSYCHO HOLOCAUST came out on DVD from Shock-O-Rama, JESSICKA RABID finally gets a legitimate release from Troma next week, and the Blu-Ray edition of DEADGIRL comes out on August 30th ... I will more than likely be doing something very special here on the blog once that date gets closer ... but you'll have to check back here to find out what it is!
In the screenwriting world, my SyFy Channel movie is finished, has a director attached, and will be going before cameras sometime in the next two months. I'll talk more about that when it gets closer and I'm allowed to. Also turned in the first draft of another script for a cable channel that you'll be surprised that I'm working for ... but once again, can't talk too much about it at the moment.
Not all good news, however, as a script that I wrote and was going to produce fell through at the 11th hour thanks to sketchy financing ... but the script is still written and maybe I can find some place for it somewhere down the line ...
I finally got back behind the director's chair and directed a music video for the LA band FALLING STILL a little less than a month ago. We're almost done with it and I'm pretty damned happy with the results. We went big, ambitious, and post-apocalyptic. Here's a shot from the set - I'm hiding behind the band in the cowboy hat (it was hot as hell out there in the desert).
The track is called I Am the Dr. and you can listen to it on the band's Facebook Page. Hopefully the video will be up there soon, too!
That's it for the moment. I'll try to get more "blog-gy" in the future, but I know that I've said it before ...

Hey there! Not to be a stickler for detail, but Jessicka Rabid comes out on August 9, not next week! Have a great day!
It's almost like it's next week in my mind ... At least I know that SOMEONE'S reading the blog! :)
