Prototype will be called THE PROBLEM WITH ZERO, feature is GODEATER. It's a fantastical story influenced by Jodorowsky & Gondry.

"An enigmatic man with no past and an unknown future embarks on a journey of discovery that puts him in the middle of a bizarre battle between a devil and a god."

Meanwhile, Soja & I had talked about our next feature--a film I started writing back in 2023. It'll start as a series of prototype images & shorts, similar to how we made HUSK then turned it into FAIRY DUST. This time I'll be writing the script in advance and then we'll see if we can get it funded.

Last day to finalize this draft of A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE before tomorrow's deadline. As always, I wish I had more time to polish and explore, but it is what it is. Very excited to see if Patrik and I can get this into production this summer.

This newest draft of A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE has a lot of instances of fish (and the gutting of them) as symbolism/insinuation for sex. So there’s that.

Eek.

This was our first of 7 locations in Wales. Such a beautiful country.

With any luck the film should be out in 2027. Still a long road to go!

It feels like a dream. Nearly 4 months ago now, we were in Wales getting ready to shoot FAIRY DUST. Got to meet so many wonderful artists and actors who busted their ass to bring my vision alive. It's all quiet surreal. I miss my UK team fiercely, and hope to return someday to play again.

Gross. Good to know.

Ah! Good note. I definitely would prefer the StoryPeer method.

StoryPeer vs Scribe Exchange.

I'm on both, but wondering if people prefer one over the other.

Post-production and festivals for a couple of shorts and a feature, just completed a new draft of a short that goes for pitching next week. Have a few different feature scripts in various stages.

Congrats on the time travel romp...I've always wanted to take a stab but...ooph. That's a hard one!

Watching WONDER MAN and seeing so many of my old haunts. I’ve been gone nearly 7 years and still miss that filthy, loud, insane town.

2026 is off to a busy start over here in the frozen North.

DESOLATION HEART premiered in Tromsø last week.

Next week, I'm headed to Finland to give a presentation on FAIRY DUST.

This week, writing A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE to pitch next week.

THE TELEPHONE plays at a local event in 3 weeks.

Got a very early draft that I need a few eyes on so I can knock out a revised draft in time for its Feb 4 deadline.

Any of my usual readers/fans of weird arthouse, slow burn body horror got time for a read?

13 pages.
