I spent most of the day on Saturday attending the El Cajon Video and Film Festival. There were a number of entertaining films to watch. I am not going to say one bad thing about any of the films at the festival. I will only say that there were some I enjoyed more than others. [...]

Mr. Buttons – Gag Reel
Here’s a gag reel for our film Mr. Buttons. We had a lot of fun making this film and I think it shows in this series of clips.
Mr. Buttons Party
We had a cast party and film premiere for everybody at Activity Road Studios. Almost everybody showed up and we had a great time. The DLP system in the screening room was pretty killer and it was inspiring to see Mr. Buttons working his magic on a big screen. Most everybody raved about the film, [...]
Mr. Buttons – Completed!
I am very happy to announce that Mr. Buttons is complete! Peter has presented all of us with another killer score – pun fully intended – and a new layer of visual effects really helps to pull it all together. I’m working on a cast party in March and there are a few festivals that [...]
Mr. Buttons – Musical Moments
The first few pieces of music have been arriving from Peter! I have to say he has done another outstanding job with this one. I wanted a kind of “music box” sound and he nailed it! I have also completed the color correcting for the film and I have begun to add some small tweaks [...]

I won’t tell you what we filmed, but let’s just say it was a disgusting, bloody hell of a good time. After this morning’s festivities, I am pleased to say that Mr. Buttons [...]
Mr. Buttons – The Last Huge Scene
We invaded my friend Roger’s apartment today to film the final scenes of the film. We had a lot of fun and despite the fact the scenes are filled with emotion – a few dirty jokes here and there really helps to lighten the mood. We spent the night rehearsing the scene so things flowed [...]
Mr. Buttons – Flashback Scenes
We had the pleasure of filming some flash back sequences today. We also did some pick up shots for a few puppetry effects. The actress we worked with today was really nervous as this was her first role in a film, but she performed great. Within minutes we had her laughing, playing with fire and hugging [...]
Mr. Buttons – Final Scene with the Kids
We wrapped up our final scene with our child actors today. The kids have been a real pleasure to work with! We swoope dinto the cemetery where I’ve film some previous footage for Slaughter Disc and we shot our scenes. We also have another talented actress who has joined our cast to play the role [...]
