I once produced a low-budget flick for William Shatner and lived to tell about it.
I launched my so-called career in 1985 at the tender age of 19 with THE DEAD NEXT DOOR, an ambitious zombie epic financed by a now-legendary Hollywood director. After learning the ropes with a series of less-than-satisfying work-for-hire features, I founded Tempe Entertainment as an outlet to make & self-distribute such films as OZONE and POLYMORPH before heading to (North) Hollywood, where I produced 12 films for Full Moon Pictures and directed a pair of well-reviewed WITCHOUSE sequels.
