Hey, hey, hey! I’m trying to blog more regularly, even if it isn’t about my film stuff. But, hey… this was post-worthy enough, in my opinion! I hadn’t seen the Brian Jonestown Massacre in over a decade until the other night! I managed to catch them at The Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado! It was so amazing. Please excuse the blurry photos. I just used my iPhone, and this show was one of the more dimly-lit shows I’ve ever been to.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre @ The Gothic Theatre - Englewood, Colorado 2025!
The first time I saw them… Matt Hollywood was in the band, and it was a phenomenal show. I must say, though it was sad to not see Matt this time, the current lineup was so fucking tight and amazing! They sounded sooooo good!
I managed to hit the merch table early, and snagged three incredible vinyl records!! “Thank God For Mental Illness”, “Their Satanic Majesties’ Second Request”, and “Revelation”! I was also able to grab a setlist at the end of the show!!
Let me just end this by saying that I’ve been a BJM super fan for YEARS now!! And I would absolutely love to collaborate, and have them write some material or even use older songs of theirs in one of my films someday! That would be an absolute dream!! <3
Static was just chosen as an Official Selection for Another Hole in the Head Film Festival in San Francisco!! 🍻🥂🎉🥳🎈🎊🍾 Cheers! Thanks so much to our cast & crew, and to the festival for your generosity! <3
Also, I have just recently started writing a new screenplay for an upcoming horror feature film!! It’s going to be so much fucking fun, and I can’t wait to show you what I’ve secretly been working on the past month or so. It’s a slasher / found footage movie, and I’m extremely excited! Stay tuned!! <3
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and I wanted to update you guys on the latest. My short film STATIC has just won “Scariest Film” at HORROR Underground Film & Screenplay Festival in Montreal! How fucking cool is that!? Thanks so much to the cast & crew, and to HORROR Underground for the honor! =)
Hell yeah! Looks like our short film, MANTID, will have its Atlanta premiere on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at Rolecall Theater!!! Thanks so much to the Atlanta Horror Film Festival!! And congrats to the cast & crew!! You're awesome! <3
