Three years ago today—April 18, 2023—we were on our way to Gatlinburg to film Crying To The Stars.

What we filmed was incredible.

What followed was a nightmare.

A single bad casting decision brought someone into this project who turned what should have been a great production into a hostile, toxic situation. What should have been a brilliant finished film became delays, damage to multiple projects, and a fight that ended up in court in two states so far.

I’m not interested in arguing about it online. The record already speaks for itself.

At the end of our first case, the judge stated:

“In his testimony, he basically tried to avoid answering almost every question poised to him. He was very defensive in his answers. At one point, he lost his temper, started to get angry. When they were discussing this incident in Tennessee, the court on at least three or four, maybe five occasions, had to instruct him to answer the question that was being posed to him. He was nonresponsive probably around 70% of the time, and I think the record will reflect that and that is important in this case because there are postings that are attributed to other people and Mr. Schilling, the defense's argument here was they think you did that, that you posted those things to benefit your position, not only in this case, but in ever whatever contractual dispute you're having, and your testimony in this case did not help you in any way with convincing the court that that wasn't possibly you. I find your testimony to be very incredible, and because your testimony has been so incredible today, the court simply is not accepting much, if anything, of what you've said.”

That’s not spin. That’s not opinion. That’s a judge, on the record.

Since then, I’ve done what you’re supposed to do when someone tries to derail your work and your reputation—I fought it. And I’ve won where it matters.

This isn’t over. Not even close. We are back in court in a few weeks in Illinois and more lawsuits are being prepared in three states.

But here’s the part that matters most:

It didn’t stop the film.

It didn’t stop me.

If anything, it created something new.

Later this year, we begin Burden of Proof—a film born directly out of everything that happened.

Some people create problems.

Some people create excuses.

I create solutions. I finish what I start.

Crying To The Stars will be completed.

No matter how long it takes.

No matter how many fights it takes.

The last three years have tested me in ways I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

There were moments where everything felt stacked against me—personally, professionally, and creatively. Projects I poured everything into got delayed, derailed, and dragged through the mud. I kept pushing, but no matter how hard I worked, it felt like I was fighting uphill every single day.

I won’t get into all of it—but just know, it was real. And it was a lot.

What matters is this: I didn’t quit.

Even when it would’ve been easier. Even when most people probably would have. Even when I felt so broken that I really wanted to, I kept going. Quietly. Persistently. Doing whatever I could to keep these projects alive.

And now… we’re finally moving forward.

🎬 Pizzodyssey — July 18, 2026
🎬 Tread This Fantasy — October 24, 2026 (Digital Release)
🎬 Crying To The Stars — Coming Soon (more updates soon)

These aren’t just releases to me. These are projects that survived.

And we’re not stopping there:

• Untitled Horror Film (Illinois) — Shooting Summer 2026
• Almost Trying (Tennessee)— Shooting October 2026
• Burden of Proof — Shooting Winter 2026

Looking ahead to 2027:

• The Youth Know No Pain
• Measure of Devotion
• Untitled Civil War film
• Untitled Retail Comedy film
• Blessed Are The Dead

We’re also stepping out publicly for the first time in over two years with a convention October 23–25 to show off our new projects, and are actively pitching two TV series.

This didn’t come easy. None of it did.

But if there’s one thing I’ve proven to myself over the last few years—it’s that I’m not going anywhere.

I honestly feel like the world has thrown everything it possibly could at me—situations so absurd they don’t even sound real. Road trips where someone thought bringing a sword was a good idea, and dealing with legal battles that never should have existed in the first place. Through all of it, I’ve realized one thing: I’m stubborn as hell, and that’s the only reason I’m still here. Most people would have given up a long time ago. I didn’t.

If you’ve supported me, believed in me, or even just stuck around while things were quiet… thank you. It means more than you know.

This is just the beginning of what should’ve happened a long time ago. The best is yet to come...

Six months from today we start our new comedy project in Gatlinburg, Tennessee! The script is about finished and we will be starting pre-production shortly. We already have some big news about it to announce and it's so hard not to share it yet.

03/15/2026

Some projects take the easy road.
Pizzodyssey didn’t.

Between delays, unexpected hurdles, and circumstances beyond our control, the journey to get here has taken longer than anyone planned. But every challenge only strengthened the determination to see it through.

Now that journey finally reaches its destination.

Pizzodyssey will be released on July 18, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who stayed patient and believed in the project along the way. More updates and details will be shared in the months ahead.

I’ve completed a script titled “Burden of Proof.” This is a second project I plan to do late fall and winter this year.

The story is based on a real court case I was involved in during 2024 in New Jersey. What happened during that time had a profound impact on my life. It pushed me into a darkness I’m still fighting my way out of, sent me into a depression I still feel today, and showed me how easily the legal system can be twisted by someone desperate enough to say or do anything to get their way.

No one should have to go through what I went through.

I have carried the weight of that experience. Writing this script became a way to face it head-on. The story follows the events of that case exactly as they happened, from beginning to end.

This project is my way of telling my story — the way it unfolded, the way it felt, and the way it changed me.

I’ll be sharing more about the project as time goes on.

220 days.

That’s when cameras roll on our first film since Crying To The Stars — and yes… a lot has happened. Some of it public, some of it very personal, and some of it still unfolding. It nearly ended everything. Instead, it changed everything.

We’re heading back to Tennessee, but this time we’re doing something different: we’re making a comedy.

After the storm, it feels right to come back with laughter.

More details are coming soon. The road back has been long… but we’re finally walking it.

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it!

Once Lost, Now Reborn — The Resurrection of Tread This Fantasy

There was a time when Tread This Fantasy was dead in the water—frozen by forces well beyond my control. It was a shame, too, because shooting it had been pure joy: a great crew, smooth production, and a final product that genuinely sent shivers down the spine. But then came the disaster—an editor’s work that drained the film of its power, followed by a bizarre, uncontrollable incident that snowballed into an international controversy. In that moment, shelving the film wasn’t just wise—it was necessary.

Years passed. I couldn’t stop revisiting it, combing through the footage like an archaeologist uncovering a lost civilization. We had ADR challenges—open-air barn scenes, wind in the mic, and a villain whose voice had to be replaced. In the original cut, that fix fell flat. But with today’s tools—and some AI magic—I restored the original voice, rebuilt the soundscape, and unlocked effects we could only dream of when we first shot it.

The result? A completely transformed beast. Darker. Meaner. More unnerving. It’s not just scarier—it’s relentless. And now, for the first time, I feel ready to unleash it.

We’re already in talks with multiple distributors. If the stars align, Tread This Fantasy will emerge from the shadows this Halloween. Consider this your warning: the version you’re about to see is not the one we made—it’s the one the film always wanted to be.

We haven't posted much for some time and we’ve been inconsistent — not because I forgot, but because I have been fighting for a project that means everything to me, Crying To The Stars. Today, I’m breaking the silence.

Crying To The Stars was supposed to be my magnum opus — a film I believed would change lives. It is an extremely personal story. It had momentum, it had heart, and it had actress Nicole Souza’s performance — a performance I genuinely believe is Oscar-worthy as well as the magnificent cinematography of JP Safford.

We had three films in motion:

- Pizzodyssey heading for a fall release;
- Crying To The Stars driving into post-production with incredible promise;
- Blessed Are The Dead gearing up for an October shoot.

We were traveling around the country. Promoting. Believing. It was good. It was real. It was close.

Then came one person — Justin C. Schilling — whose cruel and selfish actions derailed it all. Instead of honoring his contract, he weaponized legal systems and dragged me into a long, exhausting fight that began in 2023 and continues to this day. That fight wasn’t just financial — it was mentally and creatively devastating. I wasn’t just defending a film. I was defending my soul.

To illustrate, many know the musician Grimes. She described her own breakdown during legal proceedings after her split with Elon Musk:

“The threat of losing your kids while going bankrupt fighting for them is not very conducive to creative thoughts… I just slept and cried every minute I wasn’t explicitly fighting for my kids during that year.”

That—right there—was every sleepless night, every panic attack, and every joyless day of this battle. I understand that statement in my bones. Crying To The Stars is my baby.

But I refused to let him win.

The court saw it too. In our first court battle, the judge stated in his ruling that Justin was not a credible witness and questioned his motives. I won that fight. But this is far from over — it’s only getting bigger.

Two weeks ago, I began taking actions against multiple individuals I cannot yet name. Last week, I filed the first of multiple lawsuits — with more being filed in the coming weeks in three different states — to hold him and others accountable for what they did to this project, to me, and to everyone who sacrificed to bring this film to life.

Here’s the public case: https://caseinfo.mchenrycountyil.gov/PublicCaseAccess/CaseView/2025LA000226

This is about justice. About truth. About ensuring no one gets to be the villain in someone’s greatest work.

I’m still fragile. I’m still angry. But I’m back — and I will not stop until the world sees what Crying To The Stars truly is. I will fight until my last breath for my film and I will hold every last person who did me wrong accountable everything they have done to me and my film. We will be announcing more soon.

This is the last thing I wanted — all I ever wanted was to make movies and entertain the world. I tried reason, I tried communication but Mr. Schilling ignored it. My art, this film, and making sure it is released are worth this battle. When the world sees it, they will know why I fought. I don’t do this just for me, but for every indie filmmaker out there — we are not here to be walked over. Contracts mean something. Honor means something. Art means something.
