Yulecide
A cozy cottage in the woods. An impending blizzard. A cute baker. Holly thinks she’s in a Hallmark Christmas romance… but she’s actually in a horror movie, and she might not make it out alive. 🎄💀

I'm struggling to get online traction for my latest short, so I'm posting it anywhere I can. Let's hope LinkedIn likes animated horror shorts! 🤞

Back in the day there was an official message board for suggesting new Beanie Babies. I created Glow the Firefly. They even used most of the poem I wrote.
Okay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is…
What is your weirdest actual accomplishment?
Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?

BTW - working on a short horror script about being a cat owner! It's super relatable... I promise. 😸

Everyone's talking about indie horror on YouTube... but what about indie ANIMATED horror on YouTube? 👀
VHX played at some fantastic horror film festivals, and now it’s online, collecting dust. 💀
Here's a little taste. Please give it a watch! 📼

Here's a clip from my new short! It's the most DIY film I've made, and it also played at the best fests. 📼✨
These are real VHS tapes from eBay. The eyes are metal discs and magnets. The mouths are foam and beeswax.

Been thinking about this a lot lately........ 😅
The YouTube-to-Horror Feature Filmmaker pipeline is very real, but we must acknowledge who has access to it in the first place. YouTube is not

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.
