I want to write another adaptation of an old horror/weird story in public domain, but rather than something easy like Dracula, I'm becoming obsessed with trying Arthur Machen's difficult and rather saucy occult tale The Great God Pan.

I'm trying so hard not to be my dad when I called him "dude" or "man", but my kid calling me "bruh" is really shitting me. Maybe I just don't want to deal with the idea that the Ninja Turtles and Bill and Ted was the influential American culture slop of my childhood.

Rewatching classic Who. I've discovered that my love of Doctor Who as a kid wasn't just the fun stories and spooky atmosphere, but moments like this, while a professor is rambling on and on and the Doctor is suffering and unable to mask it. Little Ben felt seen.

Animation folks that are looking for work currently, or in the next few weeks, I have a lead on an Adult Animation/Action/Superhero show staffing up soon: BG Layout - mid level Blender knowledge needed Prop 2d FX Char Design Feel free to drop portfolio links below, and I will send them along to AD

I know I'm both hopelessly in love with a project and that it's probably doomed when I'm having to start a script with explanation notes on how to actually read it, because there's no way to format a script to match the unusual format of the film.

OUR EFFED UP WORLD: A grieving young woman and her video-store friends face an insatiable extraterrestrial threat after a meteor crashes nearby. Alice Maio Mackay returns to FrightFest following audience favourites T-Blockers, Carnage for Christmas and The Serpent's Skin.

If I were to start a little youtube/podwhatsit talking with other indie creatives: filmmakers, artists, writers, thinkers, leaning into but not limited to genre, who might be interested in coming on? Just for fun & company, informal: your projects, stories, concerns, auty special interests.

Finished the script for my new film. Had it in mind for years, but didn't know how it ended, until recently. It's a medieval story & I hadn't realized just how political it is. With Eggers' Werwulf coming, & others, I think more medieval art is inevitable as we slide into a new feudalist dark age.

Update 📌 Screenwriting OUR EFFED UP WORLD is in fests. THE SERPENT'S SKIN, CARNAGE FOR CHRISTMAS, SATRANIC PANIC, TBLOCKERS, others on streaming & some Vinegar Syndrome Blu-rays! Directing I'm directing a short for a new scary fantasy adventure anthology film & another nightmare to be announced.
