But in the meantime, how about some free comics?

In the sidebar on the right, you’ll see we’ve expanded our collection of comics by Wormwood staff writer, Jeremiah Allan. In between Wormwood writing assignments, Jeremiah’s had a fairly prolific comics output.

We feature some of those comics in our sidebar, but Jeremiah has a new issue out today, and we’d like mention it.

These comics, distributed online via Wowio.com, are FREE to read. And Jeremiah gets paid. You read for free. He gets paid. Yay! Help keep our Wormwood writer fed and clothed by reading his free comics today!

This just out:

The Adventures of Mister Misadventure #2!

The Adventures of Mister Misadventure by Jeremiah Allan

You can also search “Jeremiah Allan” on Wowio for a complete selection of his comics work.

Briony James is a Theater Arts/English graduate from Ithaca College, with over 30 years of acting experience. She has been heard in several classic cult horror movies, and works both in front and behind the camera in many capacities.
She has appeared on stage and film with her husband (and fellow Wormwood cast member), Rob Grindlinger, and voiced many characters in the worldwide TV series, Secrets of the Sands. Her favorite hobbies include writing and gardening.

Today we’re going to spotlight Samantha Turk. Samantha, who has been a part of previous Habit Forming Films productions, is an incredibly talented actor, and it’s our pleasure to have her join the Wormwood family.

Samantha will take on the role of Henrietta “Henry” Howe, who was first introduce to us via Paul Montgomery’s short story, “Left,” as part of our “Five Fingers of Glory” anthology series. While the story was read by series favorite Sonia Perozzi, we knew that we’d someone just as strong in the role of Henry for her…ahem… future appearances.

Samantha will also lend her voice to other roles, some of which we’ll announce soon.

For now, he’s a quick introduction to Samantha!

Samantha Turk

Samantha’s passion for acting has always been with her, since first performing on stage at the age of five. Samantha has studied acting, singing, and dance in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles.

After receiving her BFA from Syracuse University, Samantha studied and performed in New York City. She made the move to Los Angeles to further pursue her career in acting in film and television.

When not acting, or studying the craft, Samantha enjoys music, other forms of art, and sports, especially baseball…she remains a die-hard Red Sox fan!

Visit Samantha’s website: SamanthaTurk.com

Visit Samantha’s IMDb Listing: http://imdb.com/name/nm1477535/

David Accampo, Jeremy Rogers and Paul Montgomery sit down to discuss the origins, creation, and production of the Five Fingers of Glory anthology series. The creators also offer a few teases into upcoming episodes for Season Three. If you haven’t listened to the Five Fingers of Glory, beware, there be spoilers ho!

– The Management

A lot of you are asking, so we just wanted to post here and assure you that we’re still around and Season 3 is still on its way.  We have been slow getting Season 3 on track; we’re making a few changes, and as a result, Season 3 will be broken up into three volumes. We’ll have more information about those soon. Rest assured, more content is on its way.

Notes and News:

Malware – We’re aware that there appears to be some kind of Malware infecting the site. You may see pop-up that ask you to download a PDF file from another source. Please cancel these. These are NOT files from us. We are working on this issue, and we hope to resolve it very soon. We have an odd dilemma, in which we have the forum and files located on one server and the blog on another (with a different host), and because of that we’re not exactly sure where the Malware is coming from.  However, we are working hard on the issue, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Facebook – We’ve set up a Fan Page on Facebook. So if you’re into Social Media, please join our page and become a fan!

Twitter – Speaking of Social Media, Wormwood is also on Twitter. You can find us here. Also: many of the Wormwood creators are on Twitter, and you can sometimes get some little behind-the-scenes tidbits if you pay attention.

Here’s a list of the Wormwood Twitterati:

We do, however, want to note that there still remains a problem with the iTunes feed for Season One. Episodes 10-12, as many of you have noted. do not work when downloaded through iTunes. However, we have RE-POSTED those episodes later in the iTunes feed. Look between Episodes 19 and 20 and you’ll find them. These episodes are also available on this very site — it’s really only iTunes who has never refreshed the feed since we moved the files in 2007.

Coming up soon is our Season Two finale! We hope you enjoy!

We’re delighted to have Nicole, Rob, and Ben on board, so we thought we’d share some quick facts with you.

Nicole Rayburn moved to Los Angeles, CA in ‘99 with only two suit cases and a at in her arms. Coming from a military house hold she was never stationary long. Just after high school she moved to Miami on her own where she began doing print work. With her background in dance and cheerleading and years of performing, she easily moved into being featured in many music videos for such artists as Sugar Ray, Pink, Ricky Martin, and many others. Being on set seemed a natural place, which led to her desire to act. Never having any formal training, Rayburn still thought the odds were good.

Since coming to LA, Nicole Rayburn has had starring and supporting roles in several feature films, studied four years at the Beverly Hills Playhouse and even produced her first short film to circulate festivals next season. Now adding voice-over to her credits, she has lent her voice to tutorials and ads, as well as storytelling. Nicole Rayburn proves to be a dedicated artist with a strong drive to create stimulating entertainment for all.

On Wormwood, Nicole plays the part of Harmony Barrister, a name that should be familiar to sharp-eared listeners. She also plays Nurse Wendy in Season Two, Episode Five.

Read Nicole’s IMDb Profile

Robert W. Allen grew up in the small town of Murphy, Texas, searching the margins of society for fossilized dinosaur bones and evidence of vampirism. The bright, but distracted young man underachieved as a student, but showed promise for experimental filmmaking and competitive martial arts.

These days, the shy young man has morphed into a bold, west-coast slashie, marrying sweetheart Tiffany, and courting Hollywood. Robert gained SAG eligibility by portraying a gassed CTU guard on season 4 of “24,” and by stage-fighting in a music video by metal act, “The Sword.” Though experienced in play-by-play broadcasting for collegiate basketball, Wormwood is his first foray into audio drama.

On Wormwood, Rob plays Special Agent Voitek of the SNSA, who first appears in Season Two, Episode Six. He also voices a new mob goon named Tony.

Visit Rob on MySpace.

Ben Boodman hails from Connecticut and has been in LA for 9 years. He performs sketch and improv comedy. Ever since he can remember he has always loved doing “voices,” however mainly to himself. So he is glad to have been given the opportunity to perform them in Wormwood.

On Wormwood, Ben voices the mysterious voodoo practitioner, Mister Carrefour, as well as ghost hunter Chip Drexal and a couple other assorted voices.

Visit Ben’s sketch comedy group.

And now he can’t get rid of him.

If you’re interested, Dave has co-hosted on the past four episodes of the show, talking about everything from Wormwood to summer movies to Web 2.0 to comic books. If you’re interested in hearing more – check them out!

First, if you look to your right, you’ll see a link to our new FORUMS. We really wanted to give our listeners a chance to interact and talk about the show, so…check it out!

And if that’s not enough (and it never is), we’ve got something even better: a new call-in line! We’ll listen to YOUR voicemails, and you might even have them played on the air after upcoming episodes.

Here’s the number: 206-426-5336.

Lastly, and this is probably the biggest news, Wormwood Staff Writer Jeremiah Allan has put issue #2 of his comic book, DEAD WITH DICK AND JANE online! Check it out here!

In anticipation of Season Two, we’d like to do a special show where we answer listener mail. So, if you’ve got questions about Season One or what’s coming in Season Two, please feel free to write us at this email address: wormwood@habitformingfilms.com. Jeremy Rogers and David Accampo will read your questions on the air, answer them, and we may even have a surprise guest or two!

Please title your email “Wormwood Questions”, so we know to separate it out from all the spam!

We’ve been getting a lot of emails asking us about Season Two! First, we want to thank you all for listening! We had a great time putting together Season One, and we love hearing from all of you! Second, we are working hard on Season Two right now. The first 8 scripts have been written, and they’re currently undergoing revisions.  The actors are all excited and waiting to continue their roles. We’re really excited about this new material, as it expands the Wormwood landscape in some fantastic new directions!

Now, our original goal was to launch Season Two in April. Unfortunately, we’ve moving a little slower than anticipated, so we’re now looking at launching Wormwood Season Two in May 2008. We’re sorry for the delay, but we are also planning ot bring you some additional behind-the-scenes material in the next few weeks to bridge the gap between now and our official Season Two launch.

Thanks for your patience, and we hope you’ll join us for Wormwood Season Two!

You can find the show here: http://sonic.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=297203.

In addition, they’ve also interviewed us in a follow-up show, which you can find here: http://sonic.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=299426#!

Wormwood would like to take this moment to give a hearty thanks to Jack Ward and Shannon Hilchie at The Sonic Society for helping us spread the word about the ‘Wood!

A mention of our Season Finale from the fine folks as SFF Audio.com.

From the post:

I’ve just finished listening to the season finale of Season 1 – “It has all built to this moment…” – and boy did it finish cool, very, very, VERY cool! I previously described this show as “one part Twin Peaks, one part mystery, one part supernatural” after hearing the Season Finale I’d like to add a couple more descriptors: “Wicker Man-esque” and “Lovecraftian!”

Also: special thanks to Bradford R. Bowman, who brought our finale to the attention of SFFAudio.com. We love the support your guys are showing us!

Fred Greenhalgh, of the wonderful Radio Drama Revival, featured David Accampo, Jeremy Rogers, and actor Rob Grindlinger in a recent interview segment on his podcast.

You can give it a listen here.

We talk about the origins of Wormwood and offer up some thoughts on production and the art of the audio drama.

It has recently come to our attention that episodes 10-12 are not properly downloading in iTunes. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Here is the issue: we temporarily switched servers during the time episodes 10-12 were uploaded. We then switched servers back and updated our RSS feed. The feed is updated and current, but apparently iTunes does not (as far as we can tell) refresh their feed for older shows.

We’re not sure how to resolve this issue at this time, but we are looking into it.

In the meantime, you can listen on our site or any of the podcatchers listed in the far right column. If you wish to bring it into your iTunes, you can right-click and download the episode, and then manually import it into your iTunes.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, and we’re looking to resolve the issue shortly.

We thought his assessment was very fair…he pointed out the production glitches that we’re trying hard to work through, but he seemed impressed with the scope of the project.

My favorite line? “…Wormwood should be the next stop on the XML dial for audio mystery enthusiasts.”

Wow!

We’re very excited about our premiere! Stay Tuned!

And if you happen to be in San Diego on Wednesday night through Saturday, find David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers at the Comi-con International show and proudly proclaim, “I’ve come for the dead woman!”

Once a prominent psychologist, tragedy forced Doctor Xander Crowe down the dark pathways of the occult, and he was transformed. Now, chasing the vision of a drowned woman, Doctor Crowe finds himself in the mysterious town of Wormwood, where evil lurks in the shadows and stains the souls of its inhabitants. Welcome to Wormwood.

Wormwood is a new dramatic audio series brought to you by the independent production company, Habit Forming Films, LLC. The podcast debuts at midnight on July 24th, 2007 on the show’s website, www.wormwoodshow.com.

The brainchild of award-winning directors David Accampo and Jeremy Rogers (Bad Habits), Wormwood strives to pull together the appeal of serialized storytelling and portable audio content. “I grew up on serialized stories,” says Accampo of the new series, “I’m a huge comic book geek, and I love shows like Lost and Twin Peaks. I also love my iPod and download podcasts all the time, so the format just made sense to me. I was tired of spending three hours lighting a set to capture what ends up being 15 seconds of film. This way we get to use a widely-embraced portable audio format and a form of storytelling that hearkens back to the early days of radio.”

Embracing fond memories of classic radio series, talk of The Shadow, The Hermit’s Cave, and Inner Sanctum fed the desire to capture lush and disturbing imaginations with sound as the only resource. “We love the intricacies of modern long-form storytelling, and really thought we could unleash the scope of our projects with this audio format,” says Rogers. “Within the building dread of Season One,” Accampo adds, “we’re banking on becoming something character driven and epic that audiences hold up to the standards of their favorite series, whether printed, broadcasted, or projected onto a big multiplex screen.”

Wormwood follows Doctor Crowe’s arrival in the mysterious town, where nothing is as it seems. Dubbed “an occult mystery,” the show combines elements of intrigue and horror with a healthy dose of soap opera. “Our target audience is fans of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Lost, as well as comics like Hellboy or Preacher,” says Rogers, “our influences run the gamut from Aaron Sorkin to Warren Ellis to HP Lovecraft to the great Hammer Film Productions. The show is dark, but it’s not always serious – there’s a healthy dose of quick-witted banter that works well for audio. It’s actually one of the funniest things we’ve written, while still remaining sinister and creepy when it needs to be.”

Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery features the voice talent of Arthur Russell, Sonia Perozzi, Scott Olynek, Joe J. Thomas, Koralee Nickarz, Rob Grindlinger and more. Original music for the series was composed by Todd Hodges. The 22-minute series premiere launches at midnight on July 24th, 2007, with new episodes every week thereafter, and can be downloaded directly from the series’ website, www.wormwoodshow.com.

Questions created by Rob Allspaw.

Q: How did you get involved with Wormwood?
A: I’ve known staff writers Rob Allspaw and Rick Bata for a few years through a mutual friend, Bobb Amidon. Since Bobb is a longtime musician and DJ, Rob talked to him about Wormwood. Dave [Accampo] and Jeremy [Rogers] provided Bobb with a description of what they wanted and Bobb thought the project would be more in my area of experience. So, thank you Bobb! From there, I got in touch with Dave and Jeremy and I put together a sample to see if my style would fit. To my delight, they liked it. They really, really liked it. (Is a Sally Field reference weird here?) [Editor's Note: Yes. Yes, it is.]

Q: What attracted you to Wormwood?
A: Well, initially, I thought I’d found a new source of absinthe, but I guess that’s not what it’s about. Seriously, I read the first two episodes and got hooked. The characters and the storyline provide a great deal of interest and intrigue that make for a rich palette of inspiration that I can draw from. In addition, the idea of a modern radio drama appealed to me.

Q: How do you think the music of Wormwood will influence the audience?
A: I’m hoping that it will make the audience aware of the emotional state of the characters and add to the drama. I hope it will serve to help draw the audience in and allow them to fully experience Wormwood.

Q: What aspects of the project and/or Wormwood do you find the most compelling?
A: Being a great fan of audio, I love the idea of a radio drama and its revival in the form of a Podcast. I think it’s great that the mp3 world is allowing a renewal of such a great form of art. I also love the complexity of the characters, the bits of the weird, the strange, the supernatural, and the wittiness of the script.

Q: Within the project of Wormwood, what do you find the most challenging?
A: The DEADLINE!!!

[Editor's Note: Todd was referred to us very late in the game, and thus had a strict deadline to meet our deadlines. He's done an admirable job of turning in his work, and we've been very impressed with what we've received.]

Q: Within the project of Wormwood, what do you find the most rewarding?
A: I’m having so much fun allowing my imagination take off, thinking about the characters and the settings described in the script, and letting it roam into different musical areas. I’ve never done a project like this where so many different moods need to be expressed sonically, and I’m having a great time figuring out how to express them.

Q: What was your approach to making the music for Wormwood?
A: I’m a violinist, so melodies usually come easily for me. Usually, I’d come up with a main theme for one of the pieces of music and then either record it or write it down. Then I’d work on adding a chord structure underneath, finishing by filling in some harmonies. However, I love all kinds of sound, so I also would play with different sounds and sonorities and add any “happy accidents” that inspired me further and fit the feel of the music.

Q: How did you come up with the style of the sound?
A: I wanted to create something that felt a bit rural and quirky. I wanted the music to have a tinge of the strange, while remaining melodic. Wormwood has a dark history and I wanted the music to reflect that in some way.

Q: What are some of your influences?
A: Beethoven, Berg, Bjork, Kronos Quartet, Mahler, Radiohead, Stravinsky, Stockhausen. I like all kinds of music, but I would have to say that these artists and composers are the ones that actually influence what I do.

Q: Share a little about your past music projects and education. Any awards or publications?
A: I’ve been involved with music for a long time, mainly with playing violin and singing. My formal education in theory and composition took place at UC Davis. Probably one of my favorite projects there was a Computer and Electronic music class which culminated in a “theatrical” production put on by the class in the main theater composed of pieces created by the class. Under the tutelage of Wayne Slawson, we learned a lot about the art of placing sound in time and space. The experience ignited a long-smoldering fire for music and gadgets that eventually lead to my career change.

Q: What made you get into music?
A: Oh boy… that’s reaching back a bit. I had two cousins who lived in the same city I did and we spent a lot of time together. They had started playing the violin and so when the opportunity came up in the public school in 4th grade, I started playing too. However, that was a rather silly reason to get into music. What’s kept me in music is the love of all kinds of sounds, the abstract expression of ideas through sound, and whether performing someone else’s music or composing, that high you get from creating something.

Q: Is there anything you wanted to add to let the fan base know more about you?
A: Nope.

Q: Give us a hint, what’s one thing you can reveal?
A: I prefer boxer briefs.

Questions created by Rob Allspaw.

Q: How did Wormwood come about? What was the process and what is the hope behind it?
A: Since Habit Forming Films launched in 2005 as a means to stop relying on the chance of convincing someone to help us get something produced, be it a screenplay or a graphic novel, we’ve been hard at work making short films. We’ve had some success with our films, and though it’s rewarding as hell, there’s always that desire to be able to go bigger in ways our short film budgets just don’t allow. So, the idea of podcasting an audio series without concern for running length or costly setups and effects, and with a cast of characters not limited by the scope was immediately appealing. I’m always interested in film projects, genre films mostly, that not only find a way to produce something with a small budget, but find ways to make the tight resources an attribute to the project. We’re getting that with Wormwood.

I’m not the podcast fanatic of the group. But I understand the appeal, and I think my interest with the format would increase if I had an iPod I could play through my car stereo. But I’ve spent many hours in the dark with old radio shows like The Shadow, The Hermit’s Cave, and Inner Sanctum to know that you can strip away the visuals and style creatively and have something fantastically epic. I definitely understand the appeal to that. What I grasped onto early in the development of Wormwood was the realization that we could do an old radio serial and update it with complex characters and storylines. Within the story, I could funnel my love of horror, especially Lovecraftian seethe, into this tale of a seemingly normal small town hiding a big secret.

As the creep factor and characters began to flesh out, I became not only a co-creator, but also a fan.

Q: How did you get involved with Wormwood?
A: Like with most of our projects, David Accampo and I spend some time on the phone together. We’ll pitch, rattle, and linger on an idea for hours, and if it sticks the next day, we’ve got something to work on. With Wormwood, we found our hook quickly: This guy goes to a small town seeking a drowned woman, only he arrives too early. We talked horror and mystery, small town quirk, and gradually, new characters started popping up to fill the quaint, forgotten town. And there I was, caught up in the middle of new project, ready to go.

Q: What attracted you to Wormwood?
A: I’ve never had the chance to tell long story arcs and play and evolve characters as I go. I’ll be honest, and say that I’ve been writing screenplays for the past ten years more than I’ve been writing anything else. My ability to work in a longer format has generally resulted in confusion and then lack of commitment – I’m one of those with long dormant novels taking up hard drive space. Wormwood is the perfect format for me, then. I write a script, but without that industry standard three act structure and page limitation. As a fan of some serialized television and comics, I’m really excited about spending some excess time in this town, with these people. It’s all very ambitious and challenging, and I totally believe that we have ideas to carry us to our goal. Plus, it’s got a Muddy Man and lurid romance and a cranky British doctor with a nasty, demonic, hand. If I could move to Wormwood, I would. But I’ll just have to settle for writing about it.

Q: Which character do you associate with most?
A: Crowe and Sparrow clicked into place immediately. I knew what felt right at the start. Getting them down in the beginning made it so I was able to instinctively know right and wrong with approaches to the rest of the characters, the town of Wormwood included. I have my favorites, the ones that I look more forward to writing and following the insight and rhythms of what others write.

Q: Are there any characters you are struggling to understand?
A: Wormwood is a bit of a soap opera by design. If I have too much trouble with a character, I reserve the right to suddenly kill them off without a structured course of action. Of course, that will inevitably lead to someone calling me out in the writer’s room with the cry, “But we had plans with so and so, integral plans for the primary story arc of season one.” I understand that. It’ll be fine.

Q: What aspects of the project and/or Wormwood do you find the most compelling?
A: Honestly, it’s not the mystery or the occult stuff. I just might be in the minority, but when a story becomes too overt in dealing with the supernatural, I tend to retreat a little. I prefer the playful build of something evil and occult ridden than I do the moment it all enters the daylight and from there forward becomes normal to the story. That said, I think we have a really compelling mythos for Wormwood going on here. The balance of personality and history with a sense of dread is really compelling. I just don’t want to see (or hear) a super cool lightshow confrontation as we move towards the good vs. evil smackdown climax. We keep it subtle and weird and full of horror in controlled ways, and I’m ecstatic.

Q: Within the project of Wormwood, what do you find the most challenging?
A: Writing without visuals and still being dynamic is a challenge at times. It takes some effort typing out beginnings to a page before I’m able to get that intriguing line of dialogue and sense of location and action that clicks with me in a way that I don’t feel hindered by the format but completely in tune with it. Once that happens, it’s good, and the only risk is that the script will be too long for one episode.

Q: Within the project of Wormwood, what do you find the most rewarding?
A: The humor! Wormwood marks a transition, as it’s a dark tale of bad things, but there’s a sense of fun to be had. The characters banter playfully back and forth in ways that establish their personalities and how they communicate, while managing to say the things that need to be said in order to tell a story. I love it.

Deeper than the funny, I appreciate how we’ve taken a simple mysterious launching pad and put it through a workshop to develop an intricate bible of characters and history. We have enough story ideas to fill three seasons online, and enough mythology involved to write books and movies before and after our main thread. In fact, we have an abundance of content that will probably never see the light of day. But it’s there, and for all of us writing episodes, this kind of mammoth insight is one of the best resources we have.

The other thing, more than the mystery, has to be the characters. We have a great cast of actors assembled, and our aim for complex characters should be riveting through them. If we can pull it off online with audio, the audience will find themselves fallen so deep into the horror and intrigue that they won’t be able to get out. And they’ll die.

Q: What do you think about the added content on the website?
A: I love short stories. The way we can make this world so much larger and detailed with additional material is something that I think will appeal to any writer. We’re not just telling a story here, we’ve made this world and these characters real in our minds, and in many ways the audio listeners will never be let in on the complexities. But with the supplemental, possibly experimental, content on the website, we have the opportunity to tease out a link or two, illuminate a little of where we’re coming from with the characters and the town of Wormwood. I’m holding off from contributing any of the added content for a while. I have several story ideas and some pages written that I’m pretty happy with, but for now, I want to put my entire focus on creating the audio show and building the audience. As much as I’m compelled to dive in and write and write, I’m letting that itch bother me for the time being.

Q: With the collaborative process of writing the story, you have six writers now, what do you find to be the most rewarding of this style and what do you find to be the most challenging?
A: As one of the show runners, you have to envision that I’m smiling. There’s really no challenge. We’re all going to approach ideas from slightly different points of view from time to time, and we’re not always going to agree on the best course of action. But we all know where we’re going, we have all the beats in mind, and most importantly, we all really dig the characters and story. Obviously, we’re going to have surprises thrown around, we’re going to argue for what we feel is genius when everyone else just doesn’t get it, and we’re going to end up with script pages and new ideas that are so much better by having a group of excellent writers on board. All six of us are primed and ready to make Wormwood not merely one of the best (and only) horror/mystery serials in podcast form, but one of the best serial stories available in any format.

Q: Where do you see the project heading?
A: Scandinavia. Seriously, one way or another, I’ll get us there.

I’m adamant about taking the time to put focus on telling a story online, weekly. I want us to dedicate ourselves to that mission first. But I won’t lie. I’m a film and book guy, and I’d love to generate a strong enough audience to take Wormwood to the networks and studios and presses. It’s all in how we grow it. We have the potential here to be able to tell many stories across different mediums. We just have to be careful about our approach. But I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t want to start online and move into print and ultimately involve really expensive high definition cameras.

Q: Give us a hint, what’s one thing you can reveal?
A: The Muddy Man won’t really snip you. He will drip from his bones, however. It’s really quite gross.

Q: What are some of your influences?
A: I wasn’t allowed to watch many movies growing up. I wasn’t left out of the Spielberg/Lucas collaborations as a kid, but for the most part, movies sort of eclipsed me until I turned twelve and changed my living situation from one parent to the other, ending up with the one who had just purchased a top loading 125lb VHS behemoth. That VHS deck has had more influence on my life than my parent’s divorce, and it was a very nasty divorce. Suddenly, there was an awakening, of science fiction and action, of David Cronenberg (who I discovered at twelve when I caught the tail end of Rabid on cable late one night) and of cult horror movies. I had no idea… I’ve never looked back at a life without this stuff.

Books on the other hand have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a fanatic, and absolutely love my overflowing bookcase. Hell, my bulldog was named after Victor Hugo, and my high school GPA dropped as soon as I discovered J.G. Ballard and opted to sit in my car parked out in the school lot and skip day after day of classes as I read through his collection.

Influences… yeah, there are just too many. At any given time, I’m likely to draw on something. And I have no problem with that.

Q: Share a little about you past writing projects and education. Any awards or publications?
A: This, I’m happy to state: I’m a film school dropout who, after three and a half years in the film department at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale opted for a term in an advanced filmmaker’s co-op in Chicago. It’s taken eight years since to finally start making films.

I moved to Los Angeles to start working in film, became frustrated, and dedicated myself to writing. Somewhere along the timeline, I found myself caught up in the dotcom craze of the late nineties, where I spent time writing a lot of corporate scripts and documents for LOAD Media, even as I really only invested myself writing screenplays. Yes, on company time.

With that sudden turn to the internet, I inevitably began to develop quite a bit of creative content for our now defunct but expecting a revival writer’s website Laughing Mad Scribes. Not only a showcase for screenplays, we published short stories, reviews of everything we consumed, commentaries, and tried to instigate a functioning writer’s workshop. That little bit of dabbling in web design, coupled with finding myself stuck in the corporate cubicle workforce and wanting to die, took me into the two year multimedia program at Sessions School of Design. I became certified for oh so intermediate levels of Flash programming and have struggled ever since to keep up with web trends.

I’ve had top ranking screenplays during the infancy of Zoetrope Online, and later with Trigger Street. Two of my screenplay collaborations with David Accampo have achieved finalist status with the Project Greenlight. I blame our awkward audition tape for knocking our quirky thriller Cacophony out of the top 100. Somehow the fine people of Voice Over Magazine found our one science fiction screenplay The Maitland Exhibit and labeled it “one of the great unproduced screenplays.”

And then, finally, we started our production company, Habit Forming Films, LLC.

Bad Habits won a Remi award at the 2006 Worldfest Houston International Film Festival and a Best Actor award at the 2007 Sacramento Film Festival. The Long Road has been accepted into the FAIF International Film Festival and will debut at the Mann’s Chinese in Hollywood in September of 2007.

Q: What made you want to write?
A: To escape the shed out back of the house, that aluminum oven with the smell of gasoline leaking out from the lawnmower and the spiders everywhere…

Q: Is there anything you wanted to add to let the fan base know more about you?
A: The only time I have ever consumed a sizeable amount of absinthe, was also the first time that I watched Kevin Smith’s Dogma. I fired up some sugar cubes and the DVD player, and before all was done, the sun was up.
