The Filmmaker's Guide to Understanding Lovecraftian Horror
(This article is intended to teach and therefore, if you want to get the most out of the experience I would suggest reading some of the works of H.P. Lovecraft in preparation for what follows. Most importantly, I suggest The Beast in the Cave and The Alchemist as they will feature prominently as examples.)

Things to Say When People 'Hate' Reading
From books comes films, games and TV series... When someone drops the bombshell that they 'hate' reading or think reading is 'stupid', this is always the first thing I reply with. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Shawshank Redemption and The Picture of Dorian Gray are just some of the many films based on written work. Without these amazing pieces of literature, how will some of the most popular film franchises ever have been created?

Top 10 Tips to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse. Top Story - July 2017.
Even though we've seen the scenario played out in the movies and on TV, what would you, or rather, should you do in an honest-to-goodness zombie apocalypse situation?

Why Your First Feature Film Has To Be a No Budget Film
If any of you have seen my first feature film “The Garden’s Keeper” you should have noticed that it’s very low-budget, as in 750 dollars total budget. It's crazy, I know, but failing to secure funds taught me more than I would have learned if I had more money. I’m not saying more money is bad, but your first film is a learning experience and the less money you have the more creative you get and the more you learn.
