A view down the stairs of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. A corridor is partially draped in yellowish curtains that look like the plastic the TV character Dexter hangs up before he takes a victim
Walked by the set up for the Oscars red carpet and at this stage it looks disturbingly similar to Dexter setting up a kill room

Spring ahead. Jump forward. Tumble off the cliff of time. Grasp desperately for anything to hold on to as you flail through the future abyss, the ghost of past you looking on knowing something somewhere has been stolen. Happy Daylight Saving Time!

A lovely cathartic afternoon picking up props for a short horror film
A pair of skeletons sit on a garage roof at a jaunty angle. One raises their hand in enthusiastic greeting
The neighborhood skeletons seem very much ready for the weekend. I’m with you, neighborhood skeletons, I’m with you
Reposting as #BandcampFriday becomes #BandcampFridayNight
Four album covers. The first is for a creepy audio story called The Beast That Ate The Dawn with a Lovecraftian monster on it. The second is Rebel Scum with a man smiling and holdng up a beer. The third is Joseph Scrimshaw VS Time with a man holding up an oldie-time phone. The fourth is Flaw Fest with a man holding a microphone and looking squirrely
It is happening once again! #BandcampFriday where all proceeds go to the artists. Buying an album will A) make me feel great and B) help pay for more film fest submissions for our horror film DEAD MEDIA.

What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

Had a great rehearsal for a short horror film I’m shooting next week with Jessica Fenton, one of the stars of our horror feature DEAD MEDIA. Very excited for the fun version of scary times
The House is voting on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's illegal war in Iran.
The price of unchecked war powers is paid by innocent civilians and servicemembers sent into harm’s way.
Voting YES to put a check on Trump's reckless abuse of power.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Fired is a great first step for Noem, now on to tried
Instead of Captchas or Two-Factor Authentication, we should prove we're human with an explosive 30 second string of creative swearing
40 states have a higher improper payment rate than Minnesota.
WY is 5 times higher
SC 4 times
KY is 3.5 times
TX is 3 times.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FRAUD. IT HAS TO DO WITH REPUBLICANS (including the mngop) HATING MINNESOTA FOR BEING BLUE! minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/04/u...

Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.
It's primary day in Texas and *Democrats can't lose.* Both Crockett and Talarico have huge strengths; the GOP candidates—Paxton and Cornyn—are weak. Dems are urning out in record numbers, even beyond the last presidential primaries. Be a part of it! goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/...
Stared at the blood moon for five minutes and it didn’t whisper any commands that only I could hear :(

Heading home from Nevermore Film Festival. Thanks to all the audiences, organizers, and fellow filmmakers who made the first festival screenings of our horror film DEAD MEDIA a great experience. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Screen our film in a theatre with Statler & Waldorf boxes. Onward!
A man stands smiling and clasping his hands in front of him like a good little boy. He stands in front of a step and repeat with logos for Nevermore Film Festival and Carolina Theater
Branding is important. So in my career as a film director, I’ve decided to always pose at the step & repeat like I’m taking a “first day of second grade” photo
My favorite part of staying in a hotel is leaving two to three hours for scholarly debate and analysis to decipher the hieroglyphics of the different shower controls
Today’s schedule:
-Wake up to horrible news about the US attacking Iran
-Contact my reps in Congress demanding they reassert their authority
-Go to a screening of our horror film, try to focus
-And back on social media to catch up on the real life horror
-Tragic, maddening, exhausting
Here's Ilhan Omar. Much more clearly stating the illegality of this war and consequences to civilians.
But same ultimate ask - a vote on the Khanna/Massie War Powers resolution.

We cannot allow President Trump to drag Americans into another endless war. That is why I have supported bipartisan legislation to end US involvement in Iran without Congressional authorization since June of 2025. We must vote on that legislation immediately.
