The State of Me
My name is Mike Boas, and I'm an internet junkie. When not obsessively scouring the web for the latest entertainment and tech news, I work as an animator and web designer for Animatus Studio in Rochester, NY.I also collaborate with writer/director/effects artist John Vincent of Philrose Productions . We have several projects in development, including the horror feature LAKE MIDNIGHT.In an effort to remain busy while procrastinating, I run MadDogMovies.com , a network of sites which includes The MAD DOG MOVIES Podcast and Ominous Events: The Horror Fests and Cons Database.My own short films are produced under the umbrella of Subterranea EntertainmentMy main interests lie in exploitation cinema, whether it's horror, martial arts, sci-fi, or cult films. I'm at the theater every weekend. I prefer buying DVDs to renting them.
