I'm pretty sure I should be updating this more often

But I'm not and there's nothing you can do about it.
No, really. If I'm going to be updating any site in the near future it's going to be over at Tales Of Horror Productions so, if any of you even give a rats ass about my creative life that's where to find all the details.
A while back, I begun work on a series of viral horror shorts. What I originally wanted to do was create something along the lines of the Masters Of Horror series but for the YouTube generation. This set me into a mad frenzy hunting down all who I thought were worthy of working with me.
What started out as a 12 part series got reduced to 4 shorts (three being written and directed my me, the other by my Producer.)
The three films under my control for the project where Pugs The Clown, Rose Cottage Romance and Road Kill, the later mentioned film, Road Kill was actually my third and final script that I had written for the series, ending the first draft somewhere around 32 Pages, but something wasn't right, everyone who read it seemed to point out something else that was wrong with it, so alas, on the following rewrite I'd fix the previous error while at times create a new one. This lead to multiple rewrites and many additional pages. 5 rewrites later and my short film found itself slowly turning into a feature length script.
What started out as a short film, will be my debut feature film, we begin filming Road Kill in the summer of 2011 in the small Northern California town of Red Bluff (where I grew up) through my very own Tales Of Horror Productions. How will I be funding it you ask?
Dead Flesh has a long history in my psyche, stemming back years upon years following my discovery of the wonderful horror offshoot, zombies but didn't begin to ferment until the kind folks over at Living Dead Press where kind enough to publish my short story "Scent Of Rot In The City Of Roses" in the book: Dead Worlds 6.
Dead Flesh is at the moment a 6 part comic book mini-series following a group of survivors attempts to live their life following a zombie outbreak (a la Walking Dead) the comic has been written and is currently getting inked and it will be released through ToH's sister project "Evil Owl Press" in the coming months.
Also through Evil Owl, we're also going to be releasing the book "Tales Of Horror" a short story collection, much like the ones put out by Living Dead Press and many of the other fine horror imprints.
All the profits for those two projects will be going towards the budget for "Road Kill" and now that brings another question.... What about the other 2 short films I wrote, Pugs and Rose Cottage, those will be turned over into their own stand alone comics (think Tales from the crypt or the old EC comics) so be sure you check out my site Tales Of Horror Productions for all the latest info on everything I'm involved with.
