So it begins! JTRO BEATS-OFF THE UNIVERSE!

Now that I’m about two weeks away from finishing up building the monsters for THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD, I can confirm this movie is easily 10x more ambitious and crazy than THE WAVES OF MADNESS.

Long hours in pre-pro on The Castellum of Blood = time to expand THE FP Universe! New short stories from JTRO’s adventures across the UNI-V. Short enough for a beer. Wild enough to hump smiles all up your grill. Time to beat-beat this UNI-V right again! chuffed.org/project/jtro...

Currently writing 2 books: 1 - A novelization collection of 3 of my un-produced scripts (including the og All Superheroes Must Die 2) 2 - JTRO Beats-Off the Universe - a collection of short stories from JTRO’s new adventures across the UNI-V. Which should I focus on first?! Let me know below!

One of my favorite THE WAVES OF MADNESS reviews yet! 🤣

I'm going to turn some of my old un-produced screenplays into novels and audio books with forwards detailing their development history. Time to get 'em off the shelf! The idea is to release them once every month or so starting in May. Patreon? Crowdfunding? Or Amazon release?

THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD creature shop is now open!

AFAR: AN INTERACTIVE HORROR FILM is 85% of for the next 7 days on steam! For only $1.19 you've got a fun night with the friends tee'd up! store.steampowered.com/app/4064520/...

Considering finally writing an anthology book chronicling JTRO's adventures beating-off the galaxy...

This is so much fun: The Waves of Madness, a sidescrolling action horror movie (like Contra or Castlevania) www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9dD...

New Nanoview, THE WAVE OF MADNESS from @jasontrost.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/0uf7f...

Encore! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpgZ... #thecastellumofblood

The vibes in Trost's new film are absolutely immacualte. You can feel the Castlevania and Resident Evil aesthetics just *radiating* from what he's captured so far. Truly exciting work coming down the pipeline.

I’m excited to finally share some work in progress test footage of my set building for The Castellum of Blood. I’ve pushed the deadline to March 1st for anyone who still wants to be part of bringing this monstrosity to life. Link in the comments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpgZ...

I’m excited to share that I’ve spent the last couple weeks remastering my films into 4K, DRM-FREE digital versions for the Digital 9-Movie 4K Pack in my CASTELLUM OF BLOOD campaign. This is the best these movies have ever looked and you can download them, own them forever, and watch them anywhere.

It's official, THE CASTELLUM OF BLOOD is up on IMDB! www.imdb.com/title/tt3937...
