It's officially happening! I'm filming my short proof-of-concept sci-fi/horror in September.

Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, & a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.

I’m excited to finally get this project rolling; it's been a long time coming. ❤️

Yay! Werewolf night! This is one of my favorite films too! 🐺😃
The next feature script I'm writing is a werewolf comedy so I'm obsessed.

I enjoyed the pool scene. The colors & motion of the water in the background of the close-ups. An interesting choice of location, especially for what transpires in this scene. 🎞🖤

A Face in the Crowd (1957)
Actor: Andy Griffith
Director: Elia Kazan

A fantastic film, appropriate for the times.

From the poster - 'Power! He loved it! He took it raw in big gulpfuls... he liked the taste, the way it mixed with the bourbon and the sin in his blood!'

Black Christmas (1974)

I enjoy all the versions of Black Christmas. Each one brings a new, interesting perspective. But the original definitely has the best ending. 🤯
