Check out the “Possum Walk” trailer on Fangoria.com! Written & directed by Sweatshop’s Jeremy Sumrall (The Beast) and featuring one of my most dedicated crew members *ever*, Kristen Reid in her first major role!
Words can’t describe how cool Jeremy’s new flick looks, or how awesome Kristen looks in it. Just watch the teaser below… Continue Reading…
Still playing catch up! Domain of the Damned took “Best Horror” at the Gulf Coast Film & Video Festival in late 2008. Continue Reading…
Well, after over a year of being essentially on dad duty, Evan is finally in day care and my life as a filmmaker has gone from 0 to 100. I guess I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I recently took over a television show production as director/DP/editor midway through their season. The producers are friends of mine, and they’ve been having a tough time with it. I’m basically trying to help put the project back on the tracks and make it sail. Was that a mixed metaphor? Whatever, we’re sailing in trains today.
Houston, Texas indie filmmaker Josh Vargus and his messed up crew are busy shooting the most demented horror flick you’ll probably ever see. Continue Reading…
I’ve just started a Yahoo group for the Houston Filmmakers Organization.. which I’ve also just started. It’s been up 4 days and already has 80 members. Looking good! Very soon we will be holding local industry mixers downtown. Everyone runs around saying “Film Texas!” (yeah, original).. I say it’s pretty useless to concentrate solely on attracting filmmakers here when we are barely supporting our local filmmakers (Houston, in particular.. obviously Austin does very well). IE, it’s not about Film Texas, it’s about Texas Film. If we have a booming film culture, we WILL attract more productions. Continue Reading…
Just had one of those semi-religious editing nights on Necrophobia, working with Iron Maiden blasting and Werewolf in a Girl’s Dormatory running on repeat until 4:30 in the morning. Working on reel2 (of 4). Lost a lot of great shit, but also expanded a few important character moments and now it flows like a well oiled Swedish sex toy. I don’t mind loosing a few random jokes, because I’ve gained three or four great new scares and given the whole reel a far more dark and gritty tone. I’ve dumped a lot of character moments that didn’t really move the plot along, in favor of letting the other more important character moments breathe a little more. I’ve also knocked off a good 5-7 minutes. Which is great, because last I checked the film was at about 1:45, and I’m trying to get it around 1:30. Shouldn’t be too hard now.
We’ve gotten some mention on the net in the last few days. Very cool.
Well Horrordance 2.0 is coming up this Saturday night at Club Havok, and they will be screening my short film “Leiah”. Also catch the Making of Necrophobia later in the night, probably between band sets. For details, check out www.havokonline.com.
I’ve been reading Sam O’Steen’s (famous Warner Bros. film editor) book lately while I polish up a few things on Necrophobia. Sam’s a real character. I’ve gone back and started re-watching some of his films like The Graduate and Rosemary’s Baby and man, this guy can cut. Although Mike Nichols and Roman Polanski kind of knew what they were doing too.

For those of you who have not yet heard, Joe passed away Saturday. If you ever saw Joe throw down on stage with his band Gates of Enoch, you were one of the lucky few. He was a young guy just getting started with his career, way too young to be taken from us like this. He was a brilliantly creative writer, an outrageously talented singer and performer, and leaves behind a wife and newborn son. Although the band plans to push on, he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him because he was also one of the nicest guys you’d ever meet.Rest in peace, my friend.

I’ve just started this as a master blog for Odyssee Pictures and my various films. Thanks to Scott Glosserman (director of the kickass epic “Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon”) for the idea. I saw the same blog program on his site and thought it looked great. I’ll start by re-posting a couple of blogs from Myspace on my SXSW 2006 experience.
