A pair of skeletons sit on a garage roof at a jaunty angle. One raises their hand in enthusiastic greeting
The neighborhood skeletons seem very much ready for the weekend. I’m with you, neighborhood skeletons, I’m with you
Reposting as #BandcampFriday becomes #BandcampFridayNight
Four album covers. The first is for a creepy audio story called The Beast That Ate The Dawn with a Lovecraftian monster on it. The second is Rebel Scum with a man smiling and holdng up a beer. The third is Joseph Scrimshaw VS Time with a man holding up an oldie-time phone. The fourth is Flaw Fest with a man holding a microphone and looking squirrely
It is happening once again! #BandcampFriday where all proceeds go to the artists. Buying an album will A) make me feel great and B) help pay for more film fest submissions for our horror film DEAD MEDIA.

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

Had a great rehearsal for a short horror film I’m shooting next week with Jessica Fenton, one of the stars of our horror feature DEAD MEDIA. Very excited for the fun version of scary times
The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war in Iran.
The price of unchecked war powers is paid by innocent civilians and servicemembers sent into harm’s way.
Voting YES to put a check on Trump's reckless abuse of power.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Fired is a great first step for Noem, now on to tried
Instead of Captchas or Two-Factor Authentication, we should prove we're human with an explosive 30 second string of creative swearing
40 states have a higher improper payment rate than Minnesota.
WY is 5 times higher
SC 4 times
KY is 3.5 times
TX is 3 times.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FRAUD. IT HAS TO DO WITH REPUBLICANS (including the mngop) HATING MINNESOTA FOR BEING BLUE! minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/04/u...
A frozen pizza on a blue plate. The center slice is wide making it look like a hungry mouth just beginning to open
Left a slight gap in my frozen pizza and now I must live with the terror that it might eat me
New post on my blogletter FINISH YOUR MONSTERS. This week, I discuss the power of post-film Q&As and whiskey drinks in magic boxes.

It Happened To Me: I accidentally left my phone at home when I went for a walk and I knew 15 minutes of peace
Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.
It's primary day in Texas and *Democrats can't lose.* Both Crockett and Talarico have huge strengths; the GOP candidates—Paxton and Cornyn—are weak. Dems are urning out in record numbers, even beyond the last presidential primaries. Be a part of it! goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...
Stared at the blood moon for five minutes and it didn’t whisper any commands that only I could hear :(
Between smart glasses and rampant betting markets, society is closer than ever to our ultimate goal: A slot machine strapped to every American’s face
A man in a leather jacket stands on a stage in front of a large movie screen. Behind him are several theater box seats along the wall
Heading home from Nevermore Film Festival. Thanks to all the audiences, organizers, and fellow filmmakers who made the first festival screenings of our horror film DEAD MEDIA a great experience. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Screen our film in a theatre with Statler & Waldorf boxes. Onward!
A man stands smiling and clasping his hands in front of him like a good little boy. He stands in front of a step and repeat with logos for Nevermore Film Festival and Carolina Theater
Branding is important. So in my career as a film director, I’ve decided to always pose at the step & repeat like I’m taking a “first day of second grade” photo
My favorite part of staying in a hotel is leaving two to three hours for scholarly debate and analysis to decipher the hieroglyphics of the different shower controls
Today’s schedule:
-Wake up to horrible news about the US attacking Iran
-Contact my reps in Congress demanding they reassert their authority
-Go to a screening of our horror film, try to focus
-And back on social media to catch up on the real life horror
-Tragic, maddening, exhausting
Here's Ilhan Omar. Much more clearly stating the illegality of this war and consequences to civilians.
But same ultimate ask - a vote on the Khanna/Massie War Powers resolution.

We cannot allow President Trump to drag Americans into another endless war. That is why I have supported bipartisan legislation to end US involvement in Iran without Congressional authorization since June of 2025. We must vote on that legislation immediately.
Them: How has social media changed your life?
Me: I’m aware of far more weird shit the moon is up to
A man looks at a sign above him. It reads Nevermore Film Festival. Behind the sign is a large old theater lit up with glowing red lights
Great first screening for DEAD MEDIA at @nevermorefilmfest.bsky.social followed by a lovely Q&A. Questions about film influences, sound design, monster lore, and if one of the actors ever gets told they look like Florence Pugh. (The answer was yes)

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
A promo card for the horror film DEAD MEDIA held up on a hotel room balcony. In the background is a large moody grey building and a swimming pool
Almost time for the East Coast premiere of our horror film DEAD MEDIA. The promo card vibes nicely with the moody architecture of beautiful downtown Durham.

An ad for the horror film DEAD MEDIA playing at the Nevermore Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina. A woman peers over an old horror movie DVD with glowing blue energy emanating from the disc
At the airport enjoying a mimosa that matches the color scheme of the promo for our horror film DEAD MEDIA. Excited to visit Durham and watch the film with audiences at @nevermorefilmfest.bsky.social!
