TBT: On the set of my 16mm short film TEARS, shot during Christmas break 1996 in Virginia Beach, VA. My script supervisor on TEARS was my childhood friend Brett Edenton, who I worked with since high school, on my very first Hi-8 shorts.

Brett acted and did makeup effects on DREAMS OF THE DEAD, which will be playing October 15 at the Alamo Drafthouse Chicago, and he will be there to share filmmaking stories before the movie.
