Queen of Prey will always have a special place in my heart.  This was the first project where I kept true to myself creatively since I moved out to Los Angeles.  One of the worst things you can do as an artist or entrepreneur (and let’s face it, a filmmaker is both) is fall into the trap of trend chasing, especially in an industry as capricious and unpredictable as this one.  Make a film you’d want to see - it’s a guiding principle I’ve heard from many of my cinema heroes.  And so, I set out to make a film that incorporated my favorite creative elements - a dark, disturbing storyline with occult elements and offbeat sex practices;  luridly beautiful, vibrant images; colorful characters grounded by natural performances from actors; chilling, brutal scenes that cut to the bone.  Did I succeed in all that?  Well, I’ll let you decide.  Whether this project is a success or failure, I feel good about it.

The ultimate goal of this project is to turn it into a feature.  If you want to help make that happen there are a number of ways.  Follow us on Instagram or sign up for our newsletter; rate and/or review us (preferably positively) on Letterboxd or IMDB; if you’re interested in collaborating, drop us a line; or, if you’re feeling generous, sign up to my Patreon to support this and other projects or donate if we run a crowdfunding campaign.  Help as little or as much as you want - I’m grateful to each and every one of you.
