For the longest time I've had trouble with Vimeo and their view counters. I'll send 75 people to a page but the counters only register 1 or 2 views. This is the most minor problem I've had with Vimeo, so it hasn't gotten much attention from me. It's just annoying.

It was amazing last week in Chicago, weather-wise. Allowed me to shoot in the park with Tori. This is from the film 'Ancestry', and as she looks into her family tree, she symbolically sits under a tree.

So I went ahead and shot with Tori, my 'Hmmmmm' actress, and a new actress. This was for my short 'Ancestry'. I'm in the editing room all weekend on this one.

So you know what kind of silliness I get dealing with Alex, I asked her to wear some "serious" sunglasses for a shoot. Well, she gave me these as options, before coming up with something more along the lines of what I needed.

I'm considering this actress for an upcoming film. Not a bad audition from her.
I have a few more people to look at, but she gets a definite "Hmmmmmmmmmmm!"

My seasons have 8 films. In season one I - by accident - used to have 9 films. I have sense corrected that to 8. And as to the 9th film? I'm going to start featuring it for free on my Vimeo page starting later today.

Here's my list of planned films and their planned release month. The ones in Black are completed. The ones in red, not filmed. The ones with + are partially shot.
Whether I shoot all those films or not, well, that remains to be seen. They've all been written and the shots mostly planned out.
Even more doubtful is whether they will come out in the months listed. But this is what's on...

Here's the trailer for the May movie-of-the-month, 'Woke'.
I hope going forward to have trailers for each of the films out by the 5th of the month. Since I've got so much of a jump on my shooting I think this will be a possibility. That'll give me time to do a lot of different teasers and special features during the month!

Hey, if you get a chance, watch the trailer for the new Ben Affleck movie, 'Hypnotic'. In the trailer you'll see the lead from my film 'The Darkest Part of the City' prominently featured as a teller.

I shot two movies recently with Alex, 'The App' and 'Red Summer'. They're scheduled for release sometime in the fall, but the question I have is, which one would you like to see first?
Follow the link. I've put the two trailers up for you to decide. Let me know if you have an opinion on which you'd like to see first.

Patreon was pretty quick this month with processing. So enjoy! If you have any trouble with links or passwords, just message me and I'll take a look (of the problem with passwords is autofill changes the word!).
This month, I'll post the trailer to May's movie-of-the-month on the 5th of the month - a date I want to set going forward for the next month's film. I'm going to ask you all to c...

Always great when the lighting and a shot come together just right. This is a magical shot from 'The Dark Side of the Moon' that I'm editing this weekend. (That film and 'The App'.)

I'm shooting and editing right now like crazy - shooting two new shorts and editing a lot of trailers for my films. Including for this fun little film.
'Blaxploitation' will be the June movie-of-the-month, but I think I'll give you a taste of the trailer next week. It looks just like what I wanted it to look like - a 70's action film, only set present day. The main character, Independence...

I'm trying to decide what the new film will be when I assemble season 14. It will be in the $10 level and I've got a couple of choices.
And no, the image above, from 'A Psychiatrist's Tale' has nothing to do with it. But it's an attention getter, isn't it? And it's another 'halogen-lit' film.
Season 14 will premiere, I believe, July 1st.

I'm resting up this weekend because over the next two weeks I'm trying to shoot 4 new films!
Sometimes you have to shoot when the actors are available. So, I'll get to these films and I can take a breath.
The more films ahead I get, the more I can focus on other things. Like maybe doing that feature...

Trying to see if this actress and I can hook up for another film. She doesn't live in my state, so it's a matter of catching her when she's in the general area.
I hope we can work it out. I have just the vehicle for her.

I promised the trailer for the April movie-of-the-month, so why not start the week off with it!
This is a film I really liked. The female lead (pictured above) was a lot of fun to work with, and it's our first time collaborating. Enjoy it! This was a really fun shoot, and I loved how the film turned out!

I should have a trailer for the April movie-of-the-month chopped together sometime this week. This is a still from it. You'll find out more later.

I need to do a video with the best butts in my films. This actress, who only did one film with me, definitely would be a candidate.

I've let the actors look at the trailer for 'The Carnivorous Night', and they love it. I'll be giving you all a peek at it later this week.
It's coming some time in the future.
And yes, I have as of yet to confirm the MOTM for April.

Quite a complicated looking set-up. And all I was doing was taking a shot of a plate.

You'll see this actress pop up in a couple of my upcoming films. In one, she's supporting, playing a ghost, and in the other, she's the lead.
Both films are a little down the line. But at 5'1", I have to say she packs a lot of power as an actress.
