Hello wonderful subscribers,
an alert that my horror short film In the Bowels of the Building is now live on Vimeo for public viewing:
In the Bowels of the Building follows an elderly janitor who fights off an alien black goo that has overtaken his job… and his life.
I wrote this short and co-produced it with a group of FilmShop members towards creating an anthology called The BLDG: Five Stories of Terror. It was directed by my friend Nikolai Basarich, who tuned into my vibes immediately and found this amazing location in the Brooklyn Armory to make an expansive labyrinth far larger than I had imagined.
It has played at:
Halloweenpalooza in September 2021, where it won Best Horror Short
YoFi Fest, November 2021
Black Sunday Film Festival, December 2021
Dead in Decatur Film Festival, February 2022
Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival, March 2022
Transparent Film Festival, May 2022
Macabre Faire Film Festival, July 2022
Queens World Film Festival, November 2022
as well as screened at Artists & Beers in Brooklyn, NY in August of 2024.
Now it’s squeezed through the porous walls of the Internet to infect your eyeballs. Enjoy.
