  • Blow Me

    Blow Me is the metaphorical story of news columnist Ashley Tray, who struggles to write for a local newspaper, nicotine-free. He is under constant stress by his boss, Mr. Cornflower, to meet his deadlines but it just isn’t the same without his sacred muse: Nicotine.

    Throughout the film, he is constantly taunted by cigarette smoking characters, which are meant to represent the various brands of the cigarettes themselves. He is eventually drawn back into the world of smoking, and as result, he is able to write again. However, this causes him to lose control of his life, along with his job and his girlfriend, and in the end all he has left is addiction.

    This film is a social satire on cigarette advertising that presents smoking as sexually appealing rather than the disgusting reality.

  • Sexy Days, Deadly Nights
    Sexy Days, Deadly Nights is a comedic exploration of failure. The 7 minute film takes the form of The Worst Feature Movie Ever Made. Rather than sit through the terrible film, we (the viewer) decide to switch on the subtitles and the directorÕs commentary. The filmmaker behind the disaster, Samuel P. Rose, laments his inept creation. We skip from gratuitous (but tasteful) sex scenes, to vampire mafia attacks, to nuclear explosions as the film spirals out of control and the commentary becomes increasingly bizarre. The film becomes a way of re-evaluating something terrible in a new light, and a method of redemption for an artist ashamed of his work.

After being denied the opportunity, due to financial difficulties, Huck decides that Gabe Randleman has to pay the price! And pay the price He does! By way of a glorious boot stomp to the head! In the end Huck’s Demons manifest, call him a loser and stab him near to death. Will God forgive this imbecile?
