About Me

I am a performer and surround myself with creative projects and creative people whenever I can. I work only in the horror genre creating and executing horror films, theater, photography, and dance.
My horror production company, The Chainsaw Mafia, is proud to open the very first SLAUGHTER SHOP
TCM creates a space where independent horror filmmakers can find out about other productions and receive support. Membership is free!
Also, check out Pretty-Scary.net
for my column called "The Master of Disaster," which is geared to those just starting to make horror films!
CURRENT PROJECTS:
THE VISCERA FILM FESTIVAL:
VISCERA: A collective of soft internal organs in the body (especially those within the abdominal cavity).
The Festival: Short horror films produced and directed by women. Prizes, promotion and distribution for the winners. A special monetary award goes to one film created completely by females.
THE LIVING DEAD GIRLZ
We are zombies. Dancing zombies that is. We will dance the heart right out of your pants, buster!
We not only dance but we attack, eat brains, spray blood on the crowd, and always have a storyline in our shows.
AURAL FIXATION
Electro rap group I'm in. Yes. I rap. 2 chicks. 1 DJ. Go check out our beats!

My Interests

Anything and everything to do with the creation of horror films (duh) and the viewing of weird fucked up images that make you want to puke, hypnosis and helping others with the usage of it, dancing, acting, directing, writing, being alive, breathing, horses, kitties, Herradura Anejo with a sprite back, friends, your Mom, not falling off cliffs, driving my car super fast while singing to Patsy Cline.

I'd like to meet:

Other artists, especially women who direct, manage, act, shoot, and produce horror films and theater. I love people. I love working with people. If you aren't some sleazy guy, chances are I won't mind adding you as a friend.
