Current Film Projects
Deadtime Stories for Kids:
Oscar nominee Diane Ladd and Disney star Jennifer Stone join cast of DEADTIME STORIES for Kids: Grave Secrets, a fun, eerie - yet family friendly - tale for the tween audience. Based on the popular book franchise, Grave Secrets is the first film in a new series that aims to entertain a whole new generation of 8 to 12 year olds.
Spring Break definitely does not go as planned for eight high school friends in the film KILLER HOLIDAY. Michael Copon stars as Melvin "Spider" Holiday, introducing both the travelers and audiences to a frightening new villain with deadly motives.
Those who want to preserve the "old ways" are in the game of their lives against those who see casino profits as the way out of hundreds of years of crippling poverty in this thriller and social drama from actor and screenwriter Randolph Mantooth.
