About Me


"When the history of horror movies is written for the last time, one film will undoubtedly be identified as the video nasty responsible for spearheading the Splatter Porn subgenre: Slaughter Disc " - Rue Morgue Magazine

I am a writer/director/producer of Independent Films. My production company Steel Web Studios specializes in producing thought-provoking horror films. I take a very unapologetic approach to my method of filmmaking. If you like it, thank you, and if you don't, I'm sure there's something on PBS that won't offend you.

Slaughter Disc , my directorial debut, has been earning some great reviews from horror critics everywhere. My short films are currently racking up positive reviews and appearing at select film festivals.
