About Me:

I love storytelling. When my mother first read bedtime tales to me, I kept on altering the tales and endings. And when I went to summer camp and discovered campfire stories–I was in storytelling heaven! When camp wasn’t in session, I dragged friends into the school lost & found room, turned on a flashlight, and resumed the tales there.

In college it was creative writing. Yet to me the best medium for storytelling is film/video–it’s a complete experience involving sight and sound, along with the imagination. It doesn’t get better than that (well, at least not until we develop holodecks or “Matrix” mind jacks). Machinima is my preferred medium at present mainly because of the difficulty in getting a comprehensive film crew and cast together for any extended shoots. Oh yeah, it’s also cheaper.

Welcome to my studio, and thanks for dropping by.  Below is a list of my animated films.  (my personal best is "Extinguished")  If you're looking for something fun to watch, please try my live action comedy "DIAL for Your LIFE!", and my horror "the Shadow Over Innsmouth" (both of which are currently online here). 

My latest release is "DONATE NOW".  It's a one-minute entry to the International Filminute Contest.

Currently I'm working on a short horror film.  The script is done, and I'm starting to film some of the more demanding effects sequences.  The cast is confirmed, with big names such as JazzX, Lucindamc, Goodparade, and Bella.  I will also be taking on a small role.  Hope you'll visit with me again soon.

"the Shadow Over Grandma", comedy.  Parody of my "the Shadow Over Innsmouth" film.

"Donate Here", horror and social commentary.  My entry to the Filminute Competition. 

"the Calling", horror.  In production.

 

"The Calling" script and casting is complete.  Tentatively to be completed and released in February, 2010.  RJAnaconda approached me in February, 2009, and asked if I would make a five-minute short horror for him to release as an anthology of horror.  It was to be like a 1980's Creepshow-type short tale.  So I thought up of an idea and started to script it.  By the time I was done, it ended up being something like twenty minutes long.  RJ's project never came to realization, so I am now filming this long film as my own studio's release.  Initially intended for a Halloween release, I still think it's never too late for a good fright.  Perhaps Valentine's week would be appropriate for a release date?

Additionally, I am revamping my personal fave.  Expect to see "Extinguished--the Director's Cut" very, very soon.
