Enter a strange world of Blogs, Books, Podcasts, and More.
When I started writing it was because I had no choice. I was full of stories and needed a way to tell them. I didn't have any great dreams of people seeing my stories or reading them and never imagined a world where I could put out books. Here we are though. I write because… Continue reading Books for All Ages

Since my So You Wanna Make a Found Footage Film blogs have been getting a lot of interest, I figured I would turn my attention toward slasher movies. I have a very deep love of the subgenre and figured it’s always nice to set the table of what makes a remarkable entry. So…you wanna make… Continue reading So You Wanna Make a Slasher Film?
YouTube is an interesting space for found footage. It’s a fantastic place to find, and post, short films and is absolutely FULL of FF shorts. The site has also become a really interesting option for posting full features. Once upon a time you put these films either from a studio or you and your friends… Continue reading THE MITCHIN MURDERS – found footage review
OK, this movie breaks the rules. I found it on YouTube and it claims to be found footage, but isn’t. It’s SORTA found footage. It uses a LOT of found footage, but also has shots of an actor that wouldn’t make sense to have a camera on him. It’s an angle that COULD be like… Continue reading VISHER – found-ish footage review

The movie industry is fascinating when looked at in the long view. Seeing it as part of a long timeline you see the rise and fall of genres, stars, studios, and movie fads. It’s interesting because you can measure how trends rise and fade and how tastes change. Look at 1999 and BLAIR WITCH PROJECT’s… Continue reading Eras
This episode of our regularly scheduled program finds us deep in the woods once more with another group of social media investigators hot on the case! All of these found footage movies about influencers in the wild have me wondering if there are just legions of these folks flooding the woodlands in search of…whatever. It’s… Continue reading SHADOWS OF BIGFOOT – found footage review
As I have mentioned before, it's interesting to note the trends in found footage. To see what gets popular because it reflects where the culture is at that moment. At this moment influencers and digital content producers are the catch of the day. It makes sense because they are, well, influencing the culture and how… Continue reading BEYOND THE NORTH WOODS – found footage review
Life is strange, and wonderful, and mostly strange. Allow me to regale you with a tale. So a couple weeks ago I reviewed a found-footage movie about an influencer couple disappearing after they bought some property in the boonies. The movie covers their story as well as that of someone investigating what happened to them.… Continue reading Staying On Script
