WE’RE BACK!
October 4, 2024
Attack of the 50-Foot Movie, my monthly movie event, is back… and just in time for Halloween!
In what may just become a yearly tradition, we’re bringing back my favorite heavy metal horror movie, Trick or Treat!
This hair-raising classic stars Marc “Don’t call me Skippy” Price as Ragman, a troubled teenage headbanger who brings back his favorite dead rock star the only way he knows how: by playing records backwards!

“Theater of Blood”
July 3, 2024
My monthly cult-film party, Attack of the 50-Foot Move, continues with 1973’s horror-comedy classic “Theater of Blood”, starring the one and only Vincent Price.
“Theater of Blood” is the story of Edward Lionheart, a scenery-munching Shakespearean actor who, after a series of public humiliations, vows to kill off his critics, one by one—in ways that only a truly over-the-top drama queen can.
Plus, we’ll be opening the night’s grisly festivities with a LIVE horror-themed burlesque act by the one and only Raina Sinclair!
It’s all happeningTuesday, July 30th at Minnie’s Bar in Brooklyn, starting at 7pm.
“Nyctophobia” Wins Outstanding Editing
June 11, 2024
I’m proud to announce that “Nyctophobia”, the surreal feature-length art film that I worked as Editor on from 2021 through 2023, just won the award for Outstanding Editing from the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival.
Special thanks goes out to the director, Seayoon Jeong, as well as everyone else who helped make this truly unique project happen.
For more info on the film and upcoming screenings, visit the official website.
The Queen
In 1967, director Frank Simon filmed the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest—at the time, one of the premiere “female impersonator” competitions in the world. The resulting documentary—which captured much of the behind-the-scenes preparation and drama, as well as the show itself—gave most of the world its first glimpse at the then-underground world of Drag, and also captured what would become a pivotal moment in the development New York City’s Ballroom scene.

The Reunion Show!
If you’ve known me long enough, you might remember that I used to front a quirky little band called Uncle Leon and the Alibis.
It’s been 9 years since we played together as a full band. But on Friday, May 17, we’ll be blowing the dust off our instruments and getting together for special one-time reunion show at Parkside Lounge in Manhattan.
We’ll be joined by Raised by Tigers, They Them, and Stevie Johanson. The fun starts at 6:30pm (we play around 9). Admission is $10.
See you there!
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo
May 11, 2024
Join us on Tuesday, May 28th in the back room at Minnie’s Bar in Brooklyn for a celebration of film so ridiculous that its title has become synonymous with “subpar sequel”. I’m talking, of course, about 1984’s “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo”.
Plus, we’ll be opening the party with a LIVE burlesque performance by Rain Supreme!

We Did It!
March 9, 2024
The crowdfunding campaign for my Hank’s Saloon movie has been an astounding success! Thanks to the many, many generous people who participated in this, the feature documentary is now slated to be completed sometime in 2024!
In the meantime, you can find out more about the movie—and get a few sneak peeks at the final product—by following the Hank’s Saloon Movie project on Facebook and Instagram.
To everyone who gave money, donated prizes, lent emotional support, or just helped me spread the word about this fundraiser: THANK YOU! None of this could have happened without your help.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a movie to go edit…
Hank’s Saloon: The Movie
February 8, 2024
In 2018, I was invited to film the legendary Brooklyn dive bar Hank’s Saloon, in the final months before it closed down forever.
Due to other editing work, I had to put this project on the back burner for a while.
But right now, I am hosting a crowdfunding campaign (my first ever!) so that I can finish post-production and finally release the completed feature documentary.
You have until March 8, 2024 to donate!
To learn more about the project and see what kind of prizes I’m giving away, please visit my Indiegogo Page.
TO ALL MY FRIENDS!
January 8, 2024
Join us Tuesday, January 30th in the back room at Minnie’s Bar, for a collective chant of “Fuck Dry January!” as we enjoy the undersung, whiskey-soaked gem that is 1987’s “Barfly”.
