For my latest Substack write-up, I revisited the backrooms of my youth, ABC's two-part miniseries adaptation of The Langoliers, and reckoned with why bad CGI still unnerves me more than a open-plan office without windows. Read on below, if you dare.

For my latest Substack essay, I wrote about my own movie, Blood & Rust. The shoot was so physically and spiritually taxing that I'm still making sense of it. How did it happen? Why does any filmmaker do this to themselves? If he was still alive, would my dad like it? Read below.

At even longer last, BLOOD & RUST, my feature debut, is now available to stream on Tubi. Add it to your list. Watch the trailer. Leave it on for your pets. Anything helps, everything is appreciated. If you dig it, let me know. If you don't, that's none of my business.

Missed National Nude Day, but it's time once again for my annual post saying that I'm a nudist, it's worked wonders for my physical and mental well-being, and don't knock it 'til you try it.

If VFX artists are NASA engineers, then Sam Neill was the first man on the moon. We believed because he did, and he always believed so effortlessly. The state of my childhood Jurassic Park tape is a testament to his humble power. Any and all of my acting aspirations I owe to him.
