A healthy film industry makes sleazy movies. Weird, borderline kink films are like coal mine canaries- they're offensive, often deeply personal, and a foil to the clean blandness of big budget propaganda. A lack of bizarre "not to everyone's taste" films is an indicator of a sickly studio ecosystem.

NEW BOOK!

I am thrilled to be working with the legend Charlie Adlard on OF THE EARTH, an eco-horror story with a neo-noir tinge.

I'm co-writing with my pal Andrew Ehrich, and am delighted to be working again with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, @pipmartin.bsky.social, and @tivey.bsky.social.
