Latest Directing Reel. I've been lucky to work with some generous, gifted & unique collaborators. We've built some fun worlds over the years! #filmmaking #reel #director vimeo.com/1194178307

If you liked Backrooms use of unsettling spaces built out of the mundane, this is a more comic take on similar-ish material.

One thing will be assured, after the box office hits of OBSESSION and BACKROOMS, studio executives will give the green light this week to some shitty movie adaptation/reboot/remake based on something from the bowels of Gen X's culture.

"Tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe."

They're half right...

oh my god, Dave Made a Maze is brilliant

If everyone who worked in film would just let the filmmakers make the films, the world would have better films and life would just be grand.

Our film noir horror mash-up MIDNIGHT CITY got a shoutout in @fangoria.bsky.social 's write up of the EXCELLENT @chattfilmfest.org 's 2026 line up. So proud to be a small part of the festivities--no one does it like Chatt!

One of my favorite artists and children's book authors dropped this on Instagram today and it's just about the greatest thing I've ever seen. Bless you, Scott Campbell. 📦🙏📦

Uh oh.... 🎾👽🎾

Dave Made a Maze is such a weird & hilarious & incredibly imaginative piece of filmmaking and you should go watch it. Because it rules.

Dave Made a Maze (2017). A group attempts to resuce their failbuddy from a cardboard maze he's built, only to find it come to manevolvent life, complete with corrugated minotaur. Wildly imaginative, tactility in your sets, props, and costumes is one of the most powerful weapons for fantasy films.

Honored to be participating in Fantaspoa once again with the World Premiere of the eldritch horror film noir I directed over the summer

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

maybe your news website is dying because every 3 millimeters of scrolling leads to a new video ad or "sign up for our newsletter!" pop-up modal I have to X out of and then the new ads that auto-load fuck up the text and now I have to scroll half a page to read the paragraph I was just on fuck you

Our Art Director and homie forever @travisknight.bsky.social sure did us proud with the official poster art for our 13th edition of CFF. Feast yer eyes and REMEMBER: every time you support a indie, human, artist or creator an AI bro loses their wings

Thrilled with this poster by Studio Ronin's Christopher Shy (Bill Sienkiewicz meets Cliff Spohn!) and thrilled to announce our World Premiere at Fantaspoa International Film Festival in Brazil this April.

Post-production is complete on MIDNIGHT CITY, an eldritch horror film noir I was lucky enough to direct. World Premiere and festival announcements coming soon.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

I wasn't aware that local law enforcement had veto power over every other branch of government

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This is not the law.

When the woman at the front desk is a fan of your work, and disappointed you showed up without any puppets... you improvise! 📦🤵‍♂️📦

Day 8 of movies you should watch: DAVE MADE A MAZE (2017). This imaginative horror movie will have you laughing, crying, and freaking out in ways you didn't know possible. Cardboard forts aren't for everyone. Are they for you? #davemadeamaze #horror #doesitholdup

This is a metaphor for the tech industry overall circa 2025

A Lake Erie Christmas in Cleveland, Ohio

Congratulations, David Zaslav, on being the most destructive force in US entertainment in the entire history of show business

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Shall we?? 🏆🏆 #BackToBack #YamaIsTheGoat

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

All the videos we see of ICE/police/military assaulting people on camera are happening because they know they will face no consequences for their actions. They're breaking the law because they believe the law no longer applies to them. What kept them in check before was fear. Now they have none.

But what if the Riyadh comedy line up is actually being trained to take out the regime in an ARGO meets ARMAGEDDON style undercover operation?

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

State Censorship is a tool of Fascist Dictatorships

Federal officers took 11 Democratic officials into custody inside a federal building in Lower Manhattan after the group demanded entry to Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding cells where migrants were being detained.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

I am the 'Bill' whose email about accountability groups for writers was read on this week's episode of the #Scriptnotes podcast. Does this mean I have a career now?
