I've been away on a Hollywood vacation, so I'm only just now getting the chance to post that The Other Christmas Show is now up to 3 festival selections! After the Amazing Fantasy Fest next month, it will be a part of the Monadnock International Film Festival in October!

Happy Pride Month! See? The smoke from the bottle is a rainbow now... And also, I'm gender fluid and most of the films I have in the works are about that subject.

The premiere of The Other Christmas Show was a massive success! Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy this film. It truly made the multi-year process of creating the film feel worth it!

The Other Christmas Show is finished. It took over 3 years, but I somehow pulled off this huge, ambitious, spectacular musical feature film. And what's even more surreal is that it's premiering this Saturday.

Had a great time at the Dead of Winter Horror Festival in Worcester today! A top-notch event with some quality films. Also used it as another opportunity to promote The Other Christmas Show via my shirt.
