READ MOREWhen Aaron Vanek asked me for an animated promo for this year’s H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival event in Los Angeles, I knew I couldn’t resist. I also knew I was in the middle of about 12 other projects and I’d have to carve out the time to do it. So I spent this past Labor […]

I’m a pepper… but not for long. The Dr. Pepper lunchboxes I bought in bulk are metamorphosing into something much more sinister. (These boxes are being used as props in many of Rochester Movie Makers’ short films this summer.) First, all the shiny metal parts are masked off with blue tape. Then I break out […]

For those who wish to take part in a larger anthology film, our writers are incorporating a MacGuffin — in this case a red lunchbox. We wanted to give that lunchbox some personality, so I proposed some fictional branding. It’s important […]

It’s a monograph Al wrote as a critical analysis of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I did the cover artwork and design. “Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey – How Patterns, Archetypes and Style Inform a Narrative,” treats the film as a work of […]

Two summers ago, I helped with a film called X-Girlfriend, and last year worked on The Wingman and Virgin Fang. This year will be my first time directing a summer short, one called “The Interrogation” written by yours truly. In […]

After looking through my blog archives, it turns out I never posted here about the H.P.Lovecraft Literary Podcast. (It must have slipped my mind when I was posting over at Unfilmable.com back in December.) Listening to the podcast is like reading Lovecraft with sarcastic (yet intelligent) footnotes. What turned me on to it was episode […]
