THE DISCLAIMER:

So I started keeping this blog to detail the trials and tribulations that one experiences when making a low budget horror movie. I'm not really the blogger/instant messenger/livejournal type, but I figured what the hell...it will save me some time in case I decide to do another story for Indie Slate magazine or something of that nature.

I've found that the blog has become a very useful tool for venting a lot of that pent-up frustration that is inescapable when you're making a movie under lower budget conditions. It's also a neat place for us to trumpet our ingenuity and our small victories in the warzone of movie production.

Be warned - my writing is very candid, sometimes abrasive, and occasionally it scrapes the boundaries of good taste. If after reading all this, you still want to check it out, then by all means click over to the Director's Blog and be entertained.
