Over
the Counter - 'Over the Counter' is a short movie
I wrote back in 1996 about a movie theater projectionist that
lost his girlfriend and looks for solace in over the counter cold
medicines avaliable from work. He has become so depressed that
he is living in the theater after hours and hallucinates several
scenarios in which he lost his girlfriend.
Its the first script I ever wrote by myself and I hope to
shoot it soon. The music will be provided by FOGNODE
with a piece called 'And consistent means what to you?

The Dog
- My first solo short movie screenplay about kids who accidentaly
inject an experimental serum into a local stray dog.

Pitch Black
- Pitch Black represents the first time Matthew Goltz and I ever
collaborated on a script. We came up with the idea together but
to tell the truth Matt did the bulk of the writing, I mostly went
over it and cut some stuff and added a few minor things. The characters
are largley based on us and we tried to shoot it ourselves since
I don't think it would ever get made by anyone else. Who would
want to make a movie about struggling artists trying to make a
movie? That shoot failed for a number of reasons, though I did
learn valuable filmmaking lessons from the whole affair. And hopefully
we will try to shoot it again in the near future.

Camp
Blood 3 - I rented Camp Blood 2 one night because
it was about a killer in a clown mask. I thought I could write
a comprable script and since I actually liked the premise for
the movie I wrote part 3. I came up with the idea two hours after
watching the movie and finished the script within about 2 weeks.
I don't really consider it finished though. I would like to polish
it up and get some input from Brad Sykes the creator of the original
two Camp Blood movies before it ever got made. I sent the script
off to him and he said that he never really planned on making
a 3rd Camp Blood, though he liked my script and would use it if
he ever did do one. Well it was a shot.
I wanted to play a part in the film too. (The acting in 2nd
one was pretty bad except for the female lead) I figured I could
do at least as good but still only wanted to play the small part
of Peter. (Is that some kind of penis size reference?)
Camp Blood 3 is the first feature length script I ever wrote.
Special thanks goes to Tom for the software otherwise I would
have never wrote it. Oh yeah, I also apologize for this being
so badly formatted in Word, I just figured that not as many people
would have the Final Draft software.

Fragile - Fragile is a horror/slasher movie in which
a man finds a broken clown doll in the trash that changes his
life. After bringing it home and putting it back together he comes
to believe that the doll is talking to him. Due to a bad relationship
with his girlfriend he has almost no one to talk to, the only
thing he can do to try and relax is make beef jerky at home and
drink. Refusing to face his relationship problems he kills a woman
in place of his girlfriend and disposes of the body by chopping
her up and making more beef jerky out of her. He decides that
he enjoys killing and at the encouragement of the clown doll kills
his girlfriend one day while in the woods. He has decided that
the only one he wants to be with is the clown dolls previous owner,
whom he hardly knows. First he'll have to dispose of her boyfriend.
He starts having trouble when his escaped mental patient of
an ex-roomate and a private detective looking for his ex-girlfriend
show up he is forced to kill again.
