"Meet Your Maker" Official Teaser

A familiar Pittsburgh personality came to the laboratory to lend his chilly presence to this quick teaser.

Come and see the premier of our extended trailer on June 22nd at a charity screening of "Martin" starring our lead actor John Amplas. Get yer tickets here.

Principal photography wrapped

We wrapped principal photography on May 31. Pro tip: Don't build your movie set in a defunct walk-in freezer. One of the tricks about freezers is they are insulated. Things will get a little steamy. This here is a whole bunch of photos:

Photos by Greg Neiser and me. The majority of the movie is in the can, and the cans are out in Seattle getting processed. We shot about 6,800 feet of film. We're feeling really confident right now because we haven't yet gotten the footage back. The movie in our heads is awesome.

Thank you to our crew, both those who were with us the whole time and those who showed up to help out for just a day or two. This production wouldn't have been possible without you. Next time maybe we'll pay you.

And thank you so much to our talented cast. You made our jobs easy.

Casting News!

Pat and I are delighted and thrilled to officially announce that John Amplas (Martin, Day of the Dead) has joined the cast of  "Meet Your Maker" and will play Dr. Malvoy, the scientist at the center of this strange tale. Starring opposite of John is the already-attached Jonathan Visser, who will lend his talents to the production as he brings Zumet, the leader of the microscopic extra-dimensional beings, to cinematic life.
