I’ll Take Eight!
“Baby Octopus Salad…It’s the BEST!”, eh? Well, I almost doubted you, but since you capitalized the whole word, I guess that I just have to believe you.
Seen recently at multi-award winning upscale Italian restaurant The Colosseum. This furthers my theory that the younger and more innocent the animal is, the better it tastes. If only there were a pie version…

This failed pilot for a Fox sitcom asks the viewer the age old question, “What would you do if Jesus rose from the grave and needed a place to stay?” The original “odd couple” is back and ready for whatever wacky adventures they may come upon! Will Jesus be able cope within a modern world? How will that meany, scienticional atheist neighbor try to disprove his existence this week? What ever happened to that girl he brought home from that party and where did all this blood come from? All these questions and more will not be answered, but watch it anyway.
Bonus! Keep an eye out for my magical changing shirts!

How do you follow up a spectacular zombie opus like Stop Eating My Brains!? Easy! With a rushed shoot, non-existent story and characters and way too much money spent on fantastic post-production CGI. The special effects for BoFEoD unfortunately bankrupted my family and we ended up living on the streets for a while, but I feel that in the end it was worth it. After all, “There’s nothing left to lose, but lose itself.”
Forwards to Happiness!
Things to look forward to:
- Flying cars allow the ability to cut people off on the y-axis
- People of the earth finally overcoming their differences and joining together to battle a peaceful (but pretentious!) alien civilization
- The discovery of Martian pornography
- Miss Universe actually means Miss Universe (spoiler: the chick from Total Recal Wins)
- Being able to instantly transport matter form place to place
- Repopulating the human race after the abuse of matter transporters leaves 90% of the population as horribly disfigured mutant hybrids
- Finally being able to destroy that godamned sun…thinks he’s so tough…
- Whalers on the moon
- Turns out there’s a point in space like a giant mirror in which beyond lies our same very own existence but where the time goes backwards starting from when we first discovered it. Also thinking our reflection was another battleship we accidentally destroy it erasing all of our history as well as future suspending all existence indefinitely in a state of perpetual nothingness from which the only escape is a radiation wave so large that the only thing that can cause it is the exploding of a sun exactly the size of our very own. As luck would have it at that very moment the radiation waves from our sun that we successfully destroyed years earlier just happened to reach this point in space the same instant the space mirror was destroyed which gave everyone the effect of nothing happening at all.

Stop Eating My Brains!

This short film was made as a semester long project at Keene State’s Film3 class. It was shot on Super-16mm B&W Kodak film with a classic Bolex H16 Reflex spring-wound camera. Spring wound means there was no power or battery, the camera could run the film through for a maximum of about 30 seconds without having to wind the mechanism again. It also sported a dial on the side that you could spin during filming to change the fps rate within the camera. The front also mounted 3 seperate lenses that you could spin into place for easy and quick lens switching. The sound was done completely in post since there was no recording done with a sperate device during filming (hence no dialogue, also a requirement). We shot about 10 rolls of film, or 30 minutes or so if I remember correctly. Once developed it was telecined onto S-VHS (oh boy) and put into our Avid systems where I edited it together and added all the sound and music. It took about 5 not-full days of shooting and around 100 hours or so to edit and to the sound mix. The budget was around $700 completely for the film and development costs and a light meter. And maybe another $30 for various food items which were destroyed.
Look for an updated version coming soon with a commentary track with more details about specific scenes and the awesome FX!
Enjoy!
