I make B-Movie horror/comedies

About Me

I'm 36, been married for 14 some-odd years. I have two daughters. Xenia (5) and Lili (4). I currently work at Weber Shandwick, a San Francisco-based PR firm. When I'm not being a dad, or writing press releases for Silicon Valley-based high tech clients, I'm making crazy horror comedies with my creative partner Dan West.Our first flick, Monsturd, was shot on miniDV for $3,000 and was picked up by Elite Entertainment for North American distribution. Brain Damage Films is handling our international, and they recently sold us into UK and Ireland.We're currently shooting the sequel, called RetarDEAD. So far, the movie has cost us about $10,000 to date and we still have the last fifteen minutes of the movie to shoot. Where Monsturd was about a giant shitmonster that pops out of people's toilets and kills them, RetarDEAD is going to be a zombie gorefest.
