New updated film posters for my best films by far. “MOM’S WILL” opened my heart light style of filmmaking and “S*X, DRUGS AND MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE” opened my mind dark style of filmmaking. Gotta have a light side and dark side of filmmaking and this is a classic example. Got you all a special update in a week or two that’ll make you all very excited for me and for our city of Corona. Be ready my friends and family, you all want to be there to witness this.

Last Saturday was a good day for filming, we filmed “HAPPY PILL”. My little sister was leading actress for this one. This one was more of a awareness sketch because everyone need to be aware how lethal medication can be with or without. Sister knew what we were filming but didn’t understand the meaning until I explained the ending. She understood like nothing be careful what you take guys. Little sister did an amazing job love you Nelly.

Funny story, I had a few haters tell me “Your movies don’t have much views and call bu****it on your so call success. International in what? Who has seen your movie?” Ummmmm okay we’ll here’s the map of my last movie that made me win best picture, director, actor, best supporting actor and still pending in film festivals. You think I give a s**t about views on the internet. What you gotta say now, what have you done? Exactly.
