Writer of many moderately ridiculous screenplays including the films Leggo My Soul, Haunted House of Pancakes, and the upcoming slasher-comedy The Final Girl Must Die.
Seconded. Fantastic book!
I think everyone should stop what they're doing and pick up a copy of @tananarivedue.bsky.social's The Reformatory.
It's brilliant, beautiful, and important. It should be required reading for all US high schoolers. Jim Crow South + magical realism/paranormal horror and magic. I couldn't put it down

Attack of the Killer Donuts was a blast. The follow-up is better in every non-Christine Nguyen way. Funny, gross, good music. #Horror365Challenge 332

And that's one more draft done on the WIP. I'm thinking one or two more clean up passes might be all it needs now. Then it'll be time to get this sucker made!
Stay tuned, I'm going to have a lot to say about it very soon!

On a skateboard, everyone speaks the same language.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Thanks to everyone who took part in #IndieWatch tonight watching Haunted House of Pancakes. This was a blast. If you had fun with it too don't forget to rate and review the movie on IMDb, Letterboxd, and/or whatever platform you watched on. Would mean the world to me and the team. Thanks!

I should also mention that if you are enjoying the score by @corvidiangnosis.bsky.social, and I know you are, it will be available to purchase on his Bandcamp 11/17 and everywhere else on 11/24. That way you can listen to its brilliance without all the distracting nonsense on screen!

This was actually an improv from Aaron and Chris but kept it because we weren't going to shy away from the shared universe.
Also of note, Chris played the owner of Dandy Donuts in Attack of the Killer Donuts as well. He also co-wrote it with @natedalton.bsky.social

Speaking of sweet ambiance Chris, who plays our diner owner Frank, took great pride in "his" restaurant. So much so that he personally bought and installed crown molding, and wanted to clean the stains on the ceiling panels. We had to stop him to preserve the grimy ambiance we needed.

Any good businessman knows that you have to pay attention to your economic environment and if you see needs not being met in your community, you'd better be prepared to pounce.
Of course that doesn't mean that there aren't potential risks as well...
