For as long as I can remember I had a huge love for horror and special effects. So after graduating high school I immediately moved to LA and started studying special effects makeup. I studied puppet making, character design and beauty makeup.<span style=""> </span>When I finished I returned to Massachusetts and went to school for computer animation because at the time a lot of the FX shops were closing due to the rise of animation in movies. While at animation school I learned how to edit my own videos and I haven't stopped since. After doing well over 100 short films with my friends, we decided it was time to try to make a full length feature and we did... 4 years later we finished “Mourning Wood”.<span style=""> </span>The story of 4 friends who have to save the town from sexually charged humping zombies.<span style=""> </span>I mixed everything I learned from school into that movie from exploding puppet heads to a 2 min frame-by-frame animation.<span style=""> </span>The movie was made for less than 2.5 grand… yes I said 2.5 grand out of my own pocket.<span style=""> </span>We had the premiere in our hometown and over 300 people showed up and it was truly amazing.<span style=""> </span>Then 4 months later (not 4 years) we made our second film “Joy and the Apocalypse” which was a straight to TV drama/love story that aired to over 2.5 million homes.<span style=""> </span>Again we made this movie with a very small out of pocket budget it was more than 2.5 grand but still less than $10 grand.<span style=""> </span>Now after a few months off the Fat Foot Films (production co.) crew decided to make a horror inspired pinup calendar called the “Looks that Kill” 2012.<span style=""> </span>And that’s where I am now.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"> </p>
