Hey Steemit! Last summer I directed a horror short with my directing partner David Dinetz and we were lucky enough to have Eli Roth help us produce it. We reached out to the El Rey network one late, drunken night with a cold email and they actually picked up our movie!
So this Sunday, at 8pm PST (not sure about east coast) it's going to be on television on the El Rey network and it's going to be introduced by the legendary John Carpenter. They interviewed myself and David, and because you guys are so fucking awesome, I wanted to share it before it premiers with you in a Steemit exclusive.

Here's a few snaps from behind the scenes:
That's me in the middle holding the chainsaw from when we did the macro slow motion shots which we shot in our garage on a phantom Flex
Testing out the blood spurt on the mannequin
Team pow-wow before the next shot (I'm in the middle with the hat)
Our star couple Logan Paul and Kirby Bliss Blanton
Doing a little set dec, making some bloody light bulbs
That's Jared Eng from Just Jared 2nd from the left in his awesome cameo
The key to making this kill scene look real was adding a real hand in there on camera left. This was actually a suggestion from Eli, he truly is the horror master.
