Here is a trailer for my documentary ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER. This film is a unique look at the Orange County, CA punk/hardcore music scene from 1990-1997. You can watch the trailer here.

You can purchase the DVD/Blu-ray of KNOCKOUT. This is the boxing film that I co-wrote and it stars "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. For the best price I would go to BestBuy.com.

In The Writer's Corner...
I have am now working on another screenplay for NGN Productions. It is a contained action/thriller of sorts and I am almost done with the first draft.
The boxing script I mentioned in the last post is still being written but, as is usually the case, certain projects have a way of pre-empting others. I am writing it long hand (which is actually the way I prefer to do all of my first drafts) and I should have a first draft sometime this summer.
I am currently knee deep in the editing of SHADOW. This is the first time I have ever edited anything shot on a Canon 5D camera. Add to this that I've never cut a movie with this much coverage (and that was shot this well), and I will admit that at times I have felt a little overwhelmed. On the plus side, I have edited projects with a lot of footage and I have built up the mental/emotional stamina to work on a project that is a few clicks above the stuff I do on my own. I have posted in image of a prop that was during the shooting of the movie:
I am currently in the clearance/final re-edit phase of ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER. I had to rework the movie a little recently but ultimately this will make for a film that really focuses on all the bands and the scene as a whole. This is why I made ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER in the first place, so once again the point is proven: everything happens for a reason.
I am also going to be working as an assistant editor on a documentary for the band INSTED. Dave Mandel and Indecision Records are going to release a vinyl version of all their stuff and they are going to include the documentary on a separate DVD. I plan to start this once I finish either the first edit of SHADOW or the final edit of ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER.
I have also started turning my screenplay WARREN into a young adult novel. Here is the logline for WARREN:
Two best friends in high school are pitted against each other when one of them is possessed by an ancient Native American curse.
I am writing this book long hand right now. When it is done I will type it up, send it out to agents and publishers, and then self-publish it if I need to.
Lastly, I still plan to make 2-3 shlock films. I already have detailed outlines for two of them. I plan to write them this summer and then try and make one really quick before the end of this year. The second one will be made in the early part of 2013.
See you in July!
