"Play with Death" review of Unit 30

While attending the Media Film Festival in Media, PA earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting the multi-talented Jeremiah Cress. Jeremiah not only makes awesomely gruesome horror movies, but he also runs a great movie review website called "Play with Death". I was lucky enough to have him want to review Unit 30. Click here to read Jeremiah's kind words :-)

Updates and pictures from The Indie Gathering Film Festival

I just got back from The Indie Gathering Film Festival last week and I had a blast! The festival takes place in Cleveland, OH over the weekend of Aug 6-8. I met so many great filmmakers, saw a lot of wonderful shorts and had an overall great time at the festival and all of the events they had planned. I really can't say enough good things about this festival or the people who run it,- the IG Family knows how to put on an event!

The screening of Unit 30 couldn't have gone better: we received lots of laughs throughout, had a large crowd and my Q&A lasted so long that I was asked to sit down so they could show the next short!

AWARDS!!!!! Did I get your attention? As most of you know, I attended the festival knowing that Unit 30 won the award of "Best Horror-Comedy for a short film", what I didn't know is that Unit 30 also won the award of "Best Overall short film"!!!!! I'm still in a state of shock :-) Below are some photos I took at the event:

Pictures from the Action On Film Festival

Unit 30 screened at AOF last week and we had an AMAZING time! We can not thank the AOF Team enough for putting on a great film festival and making the night so memorable. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a poster for Unit 30 prominently displayed right by the red carpet! We took some pictures and than picked up our tickets and AOF Program, that's when we received our second surprise, -the poster for Unit 30 was on the cover of the program!!! Below are some pictures we took, again, we can not thank the AOF Team enough!
