It was a pleasure to produce on Writer/Director Zack Collins's pilot episode of "Going Postal" with Ty Manns also producing and DP Trey Walker Studio. Once again I get to work with some of my favorite people (not all pictured) on a story that moved my storyphile heart - and yet another local production. The Goetchius House pictures by Kenny Gray: Photographer (except the wrap picture), 'Gas Station' pictures by Late City Light (Justin Harris).

'Lost & Found', now titled 'Into the Oblivion' is a sci-fi film about "hope and comfort and the choices made when facing an unavoidable catastrophe" was acquired and is in production by Filmry Studios as an animated film due out this year for the Fall festival runs.

If you've ever seen any of Tereanio Edgar's work... you know it'll be visually stunning. Also, thanks to Script Revolution for providing such a great screenplay hosting platform.

The funding campaign for "A Southern Horror" feature film has ended. Thank you to the last-minute donors (Ken Merritt, Dan Quigley, Zeke Weldon, and Hayley Dukes) and the 70 total backers who contributed. Every dollar of support has increased our production value (a film's technical quality).

We've made every crowdfunding goal in past projects and weren't sure what to expect as we took the leap into larger-budget feature filmmaking. We did not make the goal, but what we did do was (1) bring more awareness to our community that filmmaking at an indie level is happening, (2) make new connections to a significant number of local cast, crew, and supporters, (3) learned a bit more about crowdfunding that we're glad to share with others and hope to not need in the future for feature-length films.

We're making this movie. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Stay tuned to our social media channels for updates as May 31st will be our first production day!

We will not make the crowdfunding goal however, any pledges will elevate the film in production value and exemplify what indie filmmaking is capable of in Columbus and surrounding areas.

Meet two of our actors in "A Southern Horror", an indie horror feature film: Jarrett Worley and John Conway! Help us fund the film and grab some unique incentives at https://igg.me/at/asouthernhorror

John Conway was born and raised in Yosemite, California. His appreciation for acting grew out of going to the movies with his mom. Since she was a single mom at the time, they often saw what she wanted to see. While other kids were watching Nickelodeon, John was getting introduced to works from directors like Jonathan Demme, Gus Van Sant, and Spike Lee; and inspired by actors like John Turturro, Denzel Washington, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Those introductions made him curious enough to want to go to college and study what they were doing. After graduating with his degree in theatre performance from San Diego State University, he continued honing his craft in Los Angeles and accruing work in theatre, film, and television. In 2017 his pursuits journeyed him to the southeast, where he's been ever since, and where he continually finds community. In an ever-evolving industry, it's independent and visceral storytellers that inspire him most; which is why he is beyond excited to collaborate with this cast and crew of A Southern Horror! He is repped by Forward Talent. IMDb: imdb.me/johnconway

Jarrett Worley is an Actor, Producer, and Stunt Performer out of LA and based in Atlanta, GA. Multi-disciplined and having amassed a prolific resume, Jarrett is best known for American Crime Story (2016), Yellowstone (2018), Daredevil (2015), Mayor of Kingstown (2023), and Cobra Kai (2024). He is repped by PCM Int and Forward Talent. IMDb: imdb.me/jarrettworley
