I had a killer year creatively. I started off the year shipping out preorders for PHALLACIES - the movie and working on my first feature film edit for Screw Year's Eve . I completed a rough cut of SYE, before handing it off to Daniel Plunkett to polish it up a bit.

Early spring, I took on an acting role and filmed at Wages of Cine studio for a secret anthology film that I will continue to work on this year as an actor and director. I also edited my 3 Erecting A Monster films into a Fully Erect Edition and launched the bluray on my webstore, and sold out of my stock at FrankenCon.

In late spring/ early summer I started working on a detective comedy, Get That Dick, with director Josh Stifter . I got a chance to work with Jessa Daisy, Dani Deadringer , and RS Trashley again on that set, along with a lot of new faces and people I'd been wanting to collab with.

Domiziano Cristopharo and I decided to produce a followup to Phallacies with a sequel called Analogies. I directed a scifi-horror segment called Celestial Seed, which pushed even more boundaries than my previous film. We also collaborated on a foot fe**sh film called Toe Tags. I decided to do an homage to giallo films with my segment, Il Paio Perfetto. Of course I had to bring back Angelica H Lee , Ciera Rae , Scara Slayfield , Nik Uttam , Daniel Plunkett, and Kris Dale back to help me create these bizarre and transgressive shorts.

Leading into the fall, Buried Alive! Horror Film Festival hosted a Best of the Best Festival of previous Sinema Challenge submissions. Both films I acted in recieved awards. Manikin, directed by Daniel Herrera , won Atlanta Horror Society award. DJ Slay, directed by Robert Alvarez ,won Best of the Best Award. Both films had Robbie Corcoran as Director of Photography.

This lead to the drawing for the next Sinema Challenge competition. First I worked with Thrill Me Squad for their short film, Discount Damage. It was great to finally work with Joe Volpe, Meredith Hill, and Mike Swarbrick . Following that, I worked with Team Mega Fart on The Offering. I worked with this team last year with James Mathis , Ricky Jordan II , and Constance Payne . But this year I also got work with Jon Whitwell and Grace Van Eps in the lead roles.

Both films performed well at Buried Alive Festival and The Offering took home Best Cinematography and Best Production Design. In the WTF Block that played late Saturday night, my film Punching the Clown from the Phallacies anthology shocked a lot of people. We took home the WTF Award for that nasty piece of work and I'm pretty proud of that.

The fall also saw the premiere of Kenneth Perkins first feature film, Velvicide. I worked on this film last year with Failsafe Productions. It was my third film with that crew and I'd love to be back for more. It was a great turnout for a very well produced film and hopefully it becomes available for everyone to see soon. Gea Henry and JD Starnes were excellent leads in the film and it was a pleasure working with them.

These last couple months I've been working on my H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, Beyond the Walls of Flesh. I'm bringing Steve Johnson from Erecting A Monster back for this one. It will hopefully be completed soon and be part of an upcoming horror anthology. I ended 2025 and started 2026 with the premiere of Screw Years Eve with Richard Tanner of A Buck Short Productions , and will be shipping preorders for Analogies soon. So everything has come back around full circle. I have a few things lined up for 2026, but always look to keep progressing to bigger and better things. I love working with my familar crews that have become friends, but I'm definitely open to branching out to new places. We'll see what happens. I appreciate everyone that has helped me get this far so much. I hope you all have a great year!
