It’s just about this time each year that I grow a tad nostalgic, with Halloween just around the corner, as I recall with fond memory the horror film ‘Of Darkness’ that I produced with my brother back in 2006. The film was met with admirable success during its festival tour, screening at horror-con fav’s like the NYC Horror Film Festival and H.P. Lovecraft Festival, and later went on to secure distribution through FEARnet. I love a good horror flick anyway, so to have been a part of creating something that has endured in cult horror circles is great.
The film can be purchased on amazon, and is also available for instant download for just a few measly bucks. But if you really want to immerse yourself into full-on ‘Darkness’, plunk down the cash for the DVD, and enjoy a bevy of goodies; like the far-too-serious behind the scenes snippet that I cut together. Fond memories…
I’m excited to say that the prep work for “Sufferance”, Eventide Production’s follow-up to the 2007 horror short “Of Darkness”, has been going extremely well thus far. I’ve met up with Director Gary Irwin & Producer Jason Contino on several occasions, and things are moving along nicely. It will be nice to take a trip down horror lane again, as the genre was very friendly and receptive to ‘OD’. The short witnessed an impressive amount of success at horror fest’s nationwide, and ended up with a distribution deal through FEARnet…not bad for a modestly budgeted short film.
“Sufferance” falls into the ever popular ‘infection film’ genre, but with a very unique take…it’s a solid script, and I’m eager for the journey of bringing it to the big screen to continue to ramp up in the months to come. Amazon.com has their own distinctive list of films that fall in to this genre, so check it out if you’re a fan. It will be fun to see “Sufferance” on this and other lists someday…fans of this genre are rabid (no pun intended), so appealing to these masses will be a worthy & rewarding challenge!

"I needed someone I could trust to run a large job for my company, while I was out of the country. If not for Paul, I wouldn't have been able to handle the job...simple as that. He made me look good, and I know I can trust him with my clients, and my reputation."

I've served as Production Counsel on several pictures with Paul, and have always found him to be exceptionally hard-working and professional. He is a diligent problem-solver, detail oriented, and has a tremendous work ethic.
