BLACK FURY / NOWHERE TO RUN (1987)
Those two short films took nearly five years to complete and really wore me out. It seemed like a tremendous amount of time and stress to give over to short films, so I decided to tackle a feature. My friend Eric Whittington and I wrote a screenplay about messed up kids in a bleak urban environment....

Re: THE TWISTED CORRIDOR (1982)
Thank you Ark and ChiO; this one is near and dear to me, mainly because there were so many problems that cropped up on a daily basis. It was also a very challenging time for me personally, with more distractions than were really needed at the time. And thank you too, Maven! Compared to the first fil...

Re: BLIND ALLEY (1981)
Great to see you finally uploading this... sez Mr. Ark. I'm pretty bereft of computer skills beyond the simplest tasks, and I kept resisting, but finally caved when tech savvy friends came to the rescue! I'm strictly analog! I loved your actors, both spot on type...or so sez Jack Favell. I got luck...

BLIND ALLEY (1981)
After much procrastination I've finally managed to upload some of the short films I made in the 1980s onto YouTube. I thought I'd share the first of them with you here, on the film noir thread. This is BLIND ALLEY , a 12-minute noir short film I completed back in 1981. I hope you enjoy it. BLIND ALL...

Re: PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD @ THE ROXIE in March
Yes, I think this show should be a wild success, given the public's ongoing fascination with lascivious pre-code entertainment! Hey Nancy , nothing would give me greater pleasure than to tote this whole shebang out to Kansas! How great would THAT be for a pre-code show?! Kansas! And Kevin , just thi...

Re: DEWEY'S RECORD PARTY!
Hey now DJ-Maven, thanks for sharing those memories of early 45 rpm treasures! I'm not sure what these things say about us in the final analysis, but personally, I can't think of anything groovier than spinning these little donuts til the wee hours of the morning.
