In Case You didn't know it already

I Make Movies!

No, not THOSE kinds of movies!

 
Comedy is my favorite because I am a natural goofball, so it requires little effort on my part and it is how I choose to live the "American Dream" which, as far as I can gather, is to do as little as possible and somehow get paid for it.

My most recent movie is called "Among Us".

It is about a bunch of guys who got abducted by aliens in Venus...Texas.

"Stupid, Stupid People"

 

So, this is my first full-length movie. I wrote, directed, produced, acted, edited, authored, scored, etc. this movie. I must warn you it is STUPID. I know it is written twice in the title alone, but somehow that isn't enough of a warning for some people. I released this movie in 2003 and the cumulative IQ of America is actually lower because of it. For that I am sorry, however, I must still offer it to you as your punishment for clicking on this page. It is called "Stupid, Stupid People". It is one hour and forty seven minutes long, plus there is a bunch of extra footage (some of it will make you sick...I hope) like this trailer for the movie below:

But wait, there's more! Here is a picture of the front and back cover art:

What is this movie about?

As many of you already know I owned Dreamworld Music Complex for four years. I met a lot of famous people, some cool people, and a lot of stupid, stupid people (thus the title). This movie is unrefined and unapologetic for its stupidity. It is a partly fictional version of my life owning a nightclub and the dumb things you have to deal with. I make fun of bands, groupies, myself, the radio, the mayor, and most of all the cops. In fact I had my cops dress up as I see them in real life: clueless, bullying idiots with pig snouts. (Disclaimer: If you are a cop I would just like to say about my last statement that I am glad you read that because it is true and I don't take it back.) If you are bored beyond belief, or depressed and want to laugh, or rich and have money to blow, or seeking really dumb answers to life's questions then buy this movie and watch it.

"Swing Gig"

I also worked on a movie in 2004 called "Swing Gig". I only acted, ran camera, and edited this movie. I didn't write it or anything and I didn't have as much creative control which translates out to a better made movie. This movie is just under an hour. It is about a swing band that my character breaks up the day before their big gig. I am a real butthole in this movie and it is hilarious. Most of my lines are off the top of my head and that makes them even funnier. Yes, this is another independant film. I think it might actually qualify for film festivals though, which is weird for me. I hope people don't think I am smart or anything. Christian Wright did all the smart stuff like write it. "Wright" and "write", those are homonyms... I think?

Here I am in band practice telling the band that nobody wants to hear a swing band. They want to hear Iron Maiden vocals "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea-ah!"

So, I go on a rant of funny insults. Joe (Kane Kelly) just wants me to play the show, but I am very difficult and half the band leaves with me.

Mike (Josh Cuadra) has just royally embarressed himself in front of Elli (Arianne Martin) and all the rest of the band. I can't tell you why, but it is funny!

I try to invite myself back into the band, but I am snubbed. Whatever!

So, I try to get back with Elli, but she snubs me too. So, I knock her tray on the ground and she chases me.

Joe (Kane) has to get a snare drum from this "mafia leader" Ralph The Brown (Aaron Gifford). This whole scene is actually very arty.

So, here I come to ruin the day again.

I am demanding some mythical charts that either don't exist or I have personally lost them. I am of course very rude and insulting.

But then I get all pouty like a little girl throwing a temper tamtrum.

I toughen up for a moment and try to start a fight with Joe (Kane).

After they make fun of me for a while I try to sucker punch Joe...

But he catches my swing and puts me in this unconfortable hold. I leave in humiliation.

This is Gay Gary (Christian Wright). Nothing else needs to be said. He's gay, that's funny!

So, I get my revenge with a knife.

But they escape all my plans to ruin the band and have the show anyway. I take it like a sore loser.

Needless to say they win the Battle of the Bands! Hurray!

This hasn't been finished yet so I can't sell you any copies YET. Sorry. But look for it, soon.

I have written several other screenplays. I have a camera and all the computer editing software and harddrive space to make a movie. If you are the least bit interested let me know. I can also write pretty darn quick so if you have a concept, but you need it written in proper format and everything then hollar at me. My info is on the contact page. Click here
