About Me

See Savaged and Alarum for Free!Trailers have been moved into the player at the top of the screen. We will be posting most of our video content there now, but occasionally something special will get it's own player. Check back for more content or visit Hocus Focus Productions for more info. We've added a new service on the photography side of things. It's no secret I like working with animals, so here's a chance for me to get peed on, bitten and scratched some more The blonde with the wolf in my photo section is Hollie Winnard (Check Cyber Playboy for her). To find out more about her visit her homepage The trailer is from our NEW RELEASE, DEATH PLOTSAlso, for those who wondered how I got started doing this stuff check out: Star Trek Home Video Adventure to see one of my first jobs in Orlando. This particular video may not be mine, but I directed about 10 a day for a year. And, finally available from Brain Damage Films is The Lunar Pack Just click on the Brain Damage Banner and go to page 4 to download it. Let me know if you do so I can thank you. Come visit my store on CafePress! Most of the stuff in there is at cost. If you like the "Fear the Rabbit" stuff I am having Black T-shirts made locally (I hope) that will be available at shows and conventions for $10 or by mail order for $10 plus shipping. It was designed by "Stella Strummer" (Screenanme), look for her in My Top Friends to message her and tell her how cool the Evil Bunny is. We're naming him now.

My Interests

Movies, fast cars, large predators

I'd like to meet:

Creative individuals who love entertain. Interest in Horror is usually a plus, but not a requirement. Check out the company homepage for past projects at www.hocfocprod.comAlso, anyone who is currently doing good for animals and could benefit from some exposure. Watch Jason's Jungle at Nolan's Pop Culture Review and contact me if you would like to be featured on the show.If you're not nice to animals I'll have to sic my new cyber pet, Stripes, on you. Don't let his cute appearance fool you. For a tiger he employs one heck of a team of angry lawyers!

adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

Changes regularly except for the classic rock from the 70's. I grew up with it and never lost my taste for it.

Movies:

Horror, Sci-Fi, really cheesey stuff and almost anything directed by Sam Raimi.Check out the upcoming movie I have a small part in alongside such icons as Joel D. Wynkoop and Debbie Rochon. (Well, Debbie and I don't have any actual scenes together) and with upcoming scream queen, Nicola Fiore. This girl is going to seem to jump on the scene when all she is shooting this year hits DVD next year. If you think you know it's about, you may be wrong. Don't judge the movie without seeing it...lest thee be judged.I can't wait to shoot with her. If only she wasn't in Ohio.

Television:

I like the stuff that is on really early in the morning, like 3 and 4 AM. EIther it is because I have really bad taste or I just got used to this stuff when I was tending bar and would come home and flick on the tube.

Heroes:

The ladies stop to pose with F/X regular James of Notorious Notables! Look for our newest teaser trailer for ALL WRAPPED UP (In Production) and dozens of other Indie Trailers and clips at:

My Blog

I dont like to brag

Well, okay, I do, but I rarely have the occasion to do so. Bloody Disgusting has run a review on Savaged and I'm pretty happy with it. http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/review/2259 Could ...

Your rebate check

What are you going to do with it? I'm not even sure I'll get one, but if I do, I think it will be going to something I'm going to buy with or without it anyway. Have you really stopped spe...

Other life in the galaxy? Does it taste like chicken?

This is a blog that was a bulletin, so you may have already seen it and commented on it, but I'm feeling lazy today, so here it is. So, Steven Hawking says there is probably other life in the g...

Wesley Snipes, his conviction/sentence and my problem with it.

OK, so Passenger 57 is going to jail for 3 years (I doubt he'll really do much time) for tax evasion. He was part of a group protesting what they percieve as the government's illegal collection ...

Woeking late and the 3 AM freakout

Not so simple Economics

Or is it. I posted this as a bulletin, but I thought I'd put it here for future generations as well. There is an article with 5 reason NOT to boycott the Olympic Games here:http://sports....

The "I bit off more than I can chew" Blog

So, about this time of the year I usually start to feel overwhelmed. Projects from the year before (ahem....Savaged) are being put to bed production-wise, but now it's time to show the world.&nb...

This year Be HANK!

So, 2008 isn't that special of a number. It's not like 8 years ago when we started a "New Millenium" or like it will be in 2 years when we stop saying "two thousand and eight" and start saying "...
