The Pigman Teaser Trailer
About Me
I am an independent filmmaker, which means no one has given me the budget to not be one, yet. If anyone’s wants to free me from the evils of being fiercely independent, send me a message.
I didn’t go to school for film making, I’m making my own school for film making. I’ve been doing this thing here since 2003 and have met and worked with some of the most interesting, exciting, strange, bizarre and crazy people I’ve ever know. Basically, my kind of people. I mainly work with miniDV but have also used Hi-8, VHS and still images with both PC & Mac digital editing software, mainly FinalCut Pro. I also sometimes write my own creepy little songs to go with my movies.
Below is my resume.

Right now, when I am not struggling to figure everything out in this messed up world, I spend what ever spare time I have working on my new project and first feature film, Born To Die and focused on promoting The Pigman which was produced by my production company, Buffa-low Budget Films and Zombified Studios in 2008. The Pigman has screened in Buffalo, New York at the Town Ballroom, Dipson's Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre and in Ohio at Con on The Cob (Akron Area).
I am also involved in a couple other projects right now that are currently in production and/or development. As well as working on writing several more feature length scripts in that are currently in various stages.
Check out my appearance on The Greg Sterlace show here. Rod and I are about 12 minutes in.

Check out Zombified Studios - a local SFX and production house that I am working with on several of those projects in development. We eat more brains before dawn than other studios eat all day!
