It's hard to know if you are comfortable investing in an author you've never read before though, and I get it. AS SUCH, I dropped the prices on my e-books.

Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
I always have a hard time calling things ‘mockumentaries’. The word ‘mock’ catches me. In my head, I hear it as if it’s mocking a subject or style. Not imitating it but making fun of it. Pseudo-documentary feels better but is a lot of goop in the mouth and it doesn’t sound better. I shall,… Continue reading Remi Milligan: Lost Director – mockumentary review
Pay Up
If you peruse my blog for any length of time you will quickly realize two things - I am not religious but I have respect for religion.

TAHOE JOE – found footage review
It's been interesting in checking out so many found footage films in recent years because I have started to see trends develop. One of these trends is the frequency good old Bigfoot has become the focus for these films. I get it, you can film in the forest and have a built in set, you… Continue reading TAHOE JOE – found footage review
Airing it Out
There’s something about modern humans where we need constant validation. We need attention, and ‘love’, and an audience. It’s part of what we are as a species but it’s also learned behavior in our social media age. So many of us are giving partial attention to one another - always on our phones, scrolling, texting,… Continue reading Airing it Out
