TheCampusHouse.com (2002)
I never graduated college
Let's do some time travel in this hidden indie horror gem. Campus house takes you there to the early days of reality tv (if only the Kardashians were cast the world would be such a nicer place). Cool Villain and odes to the classics with winks to what would be taking over television in just a few short years. Plenty of girls running around in their underwear and you somehow end up rooting for the next victim to be slashed. Fall in love with slashers all over again. Cuddle up on the couch, popcorn in hand and treat yourself to a throw back when time was spent around the tv and dvds were all the rage. The young cast delivers as well as the director.
Mando's Machine (2004)
Turn back your clocks
Take me back to the year 1980 and give me a slurpee and a copy of Mandos Machine on VHS. What a gem of a indie film came across it on the film festival circuit and took a chance. So glad i did. The cast of characters were young and inspiring just like the classic late 70s early 1980 movies of the era. Plot twists and a crazed failed televangelist sets the tone for the California summer. Imported valley girls are rumored to be coming back from the cutting room floor. Fingers crossed and this might just become a cult classic. Timothy Murphy gives another stand out performance as his star was already beginning to shine early on in his career. The young cast give believable and inspired performances leaving you asking what's going to happen in 1982. Cool soundtrack good characters and a slice of old Americana rolled into one. Mandos Machine takes you there.
The Wounded (2003)
Cult member number four
I am in this movie as one of the cult members. Shot in 1998 on 16mm film all without permits and a skeleton crew what an adventure this omen of a show turned out to be. The cult leaders scenes were shot behind Griffith Park observatory in an abandoned shed we had real machetes. Dressed in all black with the crazed look in our eyes we proceeded to run around the woods like crazies. Honestly we were chasing one another i was chopping at trees and bushes and getting as many close upside mats I could. This was my first acting job in Los Angeles and to be rated one of the worst movies ever is quite an honor. I highly recommend it for a mind numbing melting experience of shoe strings and bad dreams.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Circus circus
One of my top five favorite films of all time. The flow and concept of bringing Hunter S Thompsons words to film by such an amazing director and perfect cast has definitely stood the test of time. Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro the wildest duo to ever grace the silver screen. The drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas should be taken at least once for any die hard fan of the movie and stay at the circus circus if you really want the full experience. I remember staying there for two weeks after the movie came out after picking up a girl in la and closing down the whiskey a go go. She wanted to keep drinking and I told her the only place to drink 24 hours a day is Vegas so off in the rental car we drove. With a bottle of tequila and a jack Daniels we set off for the adventure of that summer. So yeah life imitates art when you flip the coin. I'm sitting in my attorneys office at the moment writing this review chain smoking cigarettes plotting to make a movie with a b movie actress. If this makes it to print gonzo journalism is alive and well. Morrison.
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)
Texas in the hot summer
I was fortunate enough to work on this film in the art department. Eighteen hour days all over the small town of Bastrop, Texas. We stayed at the loblolly pines hotel, a cool place the owner had won the lottery and bought this hotel in the middle of nowhere about 30 minutes outside of Austin. Having worked with the producers on a previous project I was very excited to get the call to join in on All the boys love Mandy Lane. It was a high school slasher film with twists and turns. Made my first squibs which was awesome, ziplock baggies packed with fake blood had to get it right first time. Super foggy nights running through the woods blowing fake smoke for the eerie shots. Fog machines strapped to your back layering thick smoke. Movie magic. The high light of the whole project for me was the cows. We had to build the burn pit where the two main characters fight to the death. Which meant lots of blood and styrofoam cows covered in faux fur, which were driven in from Los Angeles and were behind schedule by a week. That was the biggest challenge to make them look realistic. Being a painter by trade I just gave them all the Jackson Pollock treatment. And growing up on a farm in Mississippi I had my fare share of what dead cows were suppose to look like. The fight to the death scene was a three camera shoot form a crane, ladders and inside the pit hand held. The best five weeks of blood and fun all rolled into one. The movie is great I highly recommend.
