[Update - October 6, 2010]
I’m extremely happy to report that, over the weekend, Grey Skies won the Shriekfest Audience Choice Award! A big congrats to the cast, crew, producers, investors and everyone else involved in the making of this film. And a big thanks to everybody who came out and voted! Turns out a lot of you liked the film, which makes me extremely happy and optimistic about the film’s chances of a real theatrical run. In other words, I’m hoping this award means Grey Skies is closer to appearing at a theater near you!

If you’re in L.A. today (10/02/10) and want to see me on the big screen, Grey Skies, a horror movie I shot in Michigan last year, is an Official Selection at the SHRIEKFEST Horror/SciFi Film Festival and is screening at 3:45pm! Tickets are sold out online but they can still be bought at the door for eight bucks. I’ll be there with the cast and crew so hope to see you there!

If you aren’t near Los Angeles but would like to see the film, it’s making the festival rounds and might soon be in a theater near you. I know it’s been accepted into the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival in New Mexico and another film festival in Florida. I’ll post about the screenings here on the JEFblog as I hear more.

It’s almost Halloween, so I wanted to pass along a great site for those of you thinking about making a badass Steampunk outfit. If this is you, look no further than the PH Factor Emporium. It has a great assortment of custom made, ‘punk goggles and guns (check out that awesome modded Nerf Maverick gun below, that actually still shoots Nerf bolts!) that feel sturdy and look rad.

Hans, the guy who makes all this stuff, sent me a pair of the goggles (that’s me, wearing ‘em), so I can most definitely attest to their quality and awesomeness firsthand. Also, Hans is a cool guy and has been a friend to this site for a long time, so if Steampunk is your thing, keep his site bookmarked.
