The End of the World Party (zombie-comedy short film)


I directed a fun little zombie-comedy short film called “The End of the World Party.” Starring Nick Sommer and WC Tank on a blustery Halloween day at Grant Park in South Milwaukee.

Doing ADR with actor/co-writer/costumer Nick Sommer on a beautiful fall day (recording zombie voices and re-recording a couple of Nick’s lines — 15-30mph of wind on the day we shot).

Grant Park is an incredibly gorgeous park that I don’t visit enough. A visit there in late August got me thinking about shooting a film there.
Especially this photo:

Axe Murdering the Shining Sisters

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Below are photos I took of my friends before going out for Halloween.

Sisters Danielle and Tia dressed up as the Grady Girls from The Shining.
The top photo would take place while their Dad axe-murders them. In the film, you see the before and after of their deaths during the big-wheel steadicam shots of Danny Torrance riding around the hotel’s hallways.

Halloween!

Below is a CU of my friend Matt as a Cuban druglord before going out for Halloween. I must say, he looks pretty b*o*s*s in this shot:

The Halloween parties were a ton of fun this year! As they always seem to be. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
