in 2011 my team produced one of our very own indie films "Silent Hill Freedom". I found some old Behind the scenes clips and decided to put together this compilation of BTS moments just for fun! Check it out, and watch the official fan film 🎥

What a TOTAL experience this has been for Lauren Bridge and I as technically first timers doing this. Together with Derrick Lynn Amber Anne David Ogrodowski and Amelia Favata, we formed the group "The Weary Travelers" and created the Gothic Horror "Vesper".

Being new to the 48, Lauren and I wanted the full experience so we did everything from attending the kick of ceremony, Producing and finishing the film challenge, Going to the wrap party, Attending the screening of our film in block C at The Oaks Theater, Doing an official interview with StudioME in Pittsburgh, being nominated in 5 categories along with being selected in the top 10 "Best Of" Award ceremonies while finally ending the month long experience with:

TWO awards!
#1 "Best Cinematography" & #2 Best use of The City Of Pittsburgh". 🎥💪🥰

The 48 is a FUN and somewhat stressful challenge that im grateful to have completed and SO grateful for actually winning TWO awards.

Since 2009 we've made it a point to produce a few independent films a year, mainly in the summer month of August and Fall-October. Since last year 2022 my team has been filming my dream project "O.M.A".

This August 2023 I'm very grateful to have filmed a few very challenging, yet rewarding scenes for the project with Lauren Bridge, Derrick Lynn, Kalina Bridge, PJ Gaynard (And his wonderful Interns Zack & Max) AJ Gross, my life long friend Brandon Dornan My good friend David Ogrodowski who plays an important role popped onto set to take a peak, & lastly my friend Toni Ghazi who has been working with me for lifetimes over, all the way back to the Orion Wars which is partly what this movie is about.

This project means everything to me and I thank everyone that has worked on it and supported the production in any way. We now have ONE more scene to shoot for the principal film and as it progresses in post, we will move onto to the next phase of what is now a 6 episode series.

Peace on Earth, Peace of Mind.
