MAJOR rewrite finished. Now onto my usual readers for thoughts. And then… 👀🎥

One thing I love about ideas is how they can just keep coming, and even ones that can feel half baked can become something new and better. I’m finishing a major rewrite on an idea that started as a vague pandemic psychological horror, and it’s grown into something more rounded and exciting 💀

Do what you feel you need to for your own headspace, but for what it's worth, I don't find that stuff to be the case, and it's always a pleasure to have our interactions!

Sex sells for sure. My highest viewed video is a veeeery rough film from when I was a teenager, but the thumbnail looks like there's some saucy stuff in it, and oh boy does it get a lot of views. Maybe it's time to make all the thumbnails horny.

I just backed The Kentucky Goblins on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/202... It's really cool to see how many folks have got behind this one. I met director Anthony in August at Frightfest and his intentions are just very exciting!

🤣 I’m awful for starting films too late into the evening and hate falling asleep during something I have seen yet, so I go with old reliables, but this attitude makes it tough to keep up with new releases, I’ll tell ya!

“Land of the Dead,” a film about a real estate obsessed leader who’s happy to use and discard a Latino man and take his most loyal white guy for granted, meanwhile the symbolic proletariat has lost its interest in empty gestures of patriotism (fireworks).

my work in the past based off their own feelings and taste. I’m a truly indie filmmaker with no budgets for marketing, but as anyone who has interviewed me knows, I just truly love this stuff, and the idea of folks buying their way to the front of the line is sad and frustrating.

There’s a couple of things in the filmmaking world disheartening me at the moment, but a big one today is websites soliciting filmmakers to pay to be included in top 10 lists. I get press releases, articles, and interviews, but a top 10? Feels so rigged… I’m so so grateful to those who have included

Oh wow! In A Stranger's House on DVD is down to a MAD sale price on Amazon! Just $4!!! If you're a fan and like physical media, or looking for something to add to the Halloween lineup, now's the time! a.co/d/0aGtb6Dm

Aw thank you as always! Something weird is that this time of year, low budget indie horror actually does WORSE than other times of the year since everyone is focused on the big hitters. I LOVE seeing films like DISTORT, BRING OUT THE FEAR, IN A STRANGER’S HOUSE get to creep folks out for Halloween!

For anyone who has never seen it, even the more ‘sanitised’ version available for years is an experience and a half. The Devils is one to be seen and felt on all the levels Ken Russell threw at us.

Ah thats a shame to hear. But even if you did struggle with that rewrite, you got it out there and got to have that satisfaction of completing something creative!

Thank you! God, I love low budget films too, and not just because I make them! So many of them just sing from a different hymn sheet than a lot of big budget films, and I just love that!! (Also, I love BW2, but that’s a different conversation 🤣)

I’m feelin a lil melancholy about a film that was supposed to be happening for me right now that didn’t (so it goes), so here’s a whacky horror short some mates and me made a decade ago that I somehow was able to use to claim the Video Nasty Facebook page. Ridiculous! youtu.be/5BFZYdIKlA8?...

I watched the Ray Gunn trailer and man could I just listen to Tom Waits’ voice for hours. The way he’s used in the trailer, it’s like the filmmakers totally agree, but then someone left the ‘And Tom Waits’ credit off the end 😢

I have seen this film a shocking amount of times, yet I barely remember a thing, except a young me getting very confused as to what Einstein actually invented.

Yeah all the iconic moments are definitely in those seasons, and each season has a much more defined identity. But I was so glad I finished my whole series rewatch on an upbeat feel for the show!

Blair Rich Project (Richard Waters) @richmwaters.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I have to say, I just did a rewatch of the whole kaboodle and was surprised by how much I liked the more recent seasons. The first half of the show definitely feels like a show in its prime while the second half of seasons feels a bit more ‘keeping on trucking’

Today I was supposed to start rolling on a new feature. There was no big drama or anything and I’m instead full steam ahead with something in the new year, but there’s always a bit of sadness over what doesn’t happen. I just wanna make movies with people who wanna make movies, we can do this!

Not sure why, but I'm mulling over when a journalist friend posted the press release for one of my films, but removed a part of my quote in it about the emotional realworld connection of it for me. I've always wondered if it's cuz it was cringe, or they didn't think I was a person to have depth!

Blair Rich Project (Richard Waters) @richmwaters.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I just finished a rewatch of the whole show a few months ago and completely agree. It's great that the new seasons ARE so strong and enjoyable, but yeah, you're spot on. Some of the earlier seasons had their own identities that really shook things up.

Punching up a script I love, and using techniques of Robert Rodriguez, Matt Stone, and Trey Parker to do so. What a combo.

I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰

Thanks a lot. I’m freelance so always on the hunt for my next bit of work, but looking for scripted films is more about growing and getting more experience. Plus connecting and working with new people would be great! Ireland can be a small pool of folks sometimes!

Blair Rich Project (Richard Waters) @richmwaters.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I’ll try reaching out and seeing if any of them might have anything on the go that they’d be looking for someone to edit!

Trying something 👀
My media friends:
I've been very lucky with my editing work for the past while, getting to work with some great US crowds like Netflix, Fox, and ABC on some really fun game shows, as well as getting deep into the fact-ent and documentary world across continents. Now, I am wanting to spread my wings a bit and get some other experience! 
I've edited 8 feature films, but because they are all independent, it's been tough to do more in the scripted world of editing (understandably, a lot of shows look for people with broadcast credits, but that approach makes it tough to get said credits), and a few opportunities that had come up on that side have unfortunately fallen through (things falling through is SO common in this line of work, I'm not trying to push for pity, I swear! It's been the story of this year), so I want to put it out into the universe; 
If you may have or know someone who has a scripted project on the horizon, be it feature, short, TV, whatnot, I'd love to connect and see if we could make something happen!
(Also, I'll be finishing the show I'm currently on by December, so if you have any other things like game shows or fact-ent you need an editor for, don't hesitate to reach out 😉)

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

God, The Lords of Salem is great. It really is the best modern iteration of 70s/80s Italian horror madness without being tongue in cheek or taking the piss.

I wasn’t a big fan of The Mummy, but I think Lee Cronin has some of the most honest and inventive filmmaking style out there. Evil Dead Rise is such a great balance of his skill with something that hits the target IMO. Here’s to hoping for many more outings with his creative control at the helm!
