So excited to share Project N-Terro with everyone very soon! Written/Produced by Traycee King. Directed by Monique Efta. Cinematography by me, Ryan Shovey! I also did the color, graphics, and music for this trailer! Currently going through color correction! This is a fun one!

I Know What You Did Last Summer was fun. It was as good/bad as the original two (3 didn’t happen). Felt modern, but leaned very heavily into nostalgia. I can see most people calling it bad… but I had probably the same amount as as I had re-watching the original two recently.

Today I got a rejection email… from Jons Marketplace. My 20+ years film industry experience wasn’t a good fit for me to work at the grocery store down the street. My several years of retail work at Best But and Circuit City before film school also left me unqualified.

The thing about working through countless rewrites on my indie feature is the mixed emotional whiplash going back and forth between “Man, I am such a better writer since the last draft!” and “Having ANY kind of income would really help this insane depression…”

Here’s my Writer/Director Demo Reel. I wrote most of these films (some were collaborations with other writers), but I directed all of them. I am looking for representation! (Commercial and Narrative) Song: Same Graves by The Ghost Club.

This is my Writer/Director Demo Reel from a bunch of projects I’ve made over the years. I wrote the majority of these films (which a few exceptions with other amazing writers). I directed and edited everything here! I’m looking for new projects! Song: Same Graves by The Ghost Club.

What if READY PLAYER ONE was a horror movie? A woman trapped in a high-tech prison/reality show must escape the man responsible for her sister's murder as he torments her for his rabid fanbase. It's not torture if you're doing it for the lolz 🙃 Contained #Ho #Fea #ScreenPit #Scriptsky

I don’t do this often, but, hey @crobertcargill.bsky.social! I know you dig the nostalgic style of Tales From The Crypt episodes and movies. If you have about 12 minutes, I’d love to show you my film heavily inspired by that series’ style!

People are posting their acceptance into Killer Shorts, and it’s just another year of my work being almost good enough. Top 20%, but only the top 15% were accepted. This creative journey truly is getting way too hard. Gatekeepers don’t even let me get rejected by audiences, so, I don’t have a career

Just rewatched Escape From New York. Once again, it feels exactly like where we are today. I wanted to watch They Live, but, it’s not streaming anywhere. So, I settled on Robocop.

The richest men in the world are on stage with Trump. The real dividing line in this country is not between right and left, it’s between oligarchs and the people. The rest is a distraction — And it’s how they keep power.

My fellow Cishet white dudes: It's going to be very easy to put our heads in the sand the next two years and just look away for our own well being and sanity. But we can't just look away. Our trans friends need us. Our queer friends need us. The women in our lives need us. They can't win this alone.

I totally The Wolfman. It was a really interesting introspective approach to becoming a monster and the terrorist the people around you go through. As a lifetime fan of the original Wolfman, I thought this was a really unique approach. Plus the cinematography was just fantastic.

I’m sorry, but, all you film bros and self-entitled movie “critics” are wrong… Lisa Frankenstein is great. Shame on you for now knowing how to have fun with a movie that takes its own fun seriously. Learn how to judge movies on their own merit. If you don’t see craft and intention, you’re blind.

Here’s the deal: if you post “Worst Movie” lists, I’m probably going going to block you… it’s just gross and conceded. Hate begets hate. Expectations ruin discovery. Nobody sets out to make a bad movie. Speak with your wallet, not your opinions. That’s how things change in entertainment.

I was once Eeyore at Disney World. I embodied that character. Everyone tried to cheer me (him) up with lots of hugs. Now, on my 42nd BDay, I can't escape this feeling of being Eeyore. I'm bummed, sad, and lonely.. but, I'm also loyal, compassionate, and empathetic. Thanks for noticin' me.

I never realized how beautiful and introspective Edward Scissorhands truly is as a story. It was ahead of its time, delving into internal emotions of empathy, sympathy, grace, and compassion, and how anyone with a selfish agenda can turn something beautiful into a monster. That was a nice watch.
