This Week we begin again!


It's been a few months since I directed a movie and its been over a year since I directed 'The Weeping Woman 2' yet here we go again! This Saturday I get back in the director's chair with the third part in the series. The Fragile Spirit will be our most dramatic movie to date! We are in the process of hiring a composer this week. The cast is set and the set is set as well. Haha.

The first scene will be quite difficult and will probably end up being the last one to shoot since it takes place underwater!

I'll update Friday or Thursday before I leave for Honduras.

(By the way our NEW logo will premiere with the movie! This one we will keep - uhm forever! best logo ever!)

Fragile Week is coming...


Next Saturday, production of my new movie "The Fragile Spirit" begins. I've been storyboarding all day. It starts underwater! Its gonna be a very challenging movie, but I have a strong feeling that it'll pay off. We're aiming at making it a great drama/horror.


The cast includes: Odessa Aguilera, Eugenio Enamorado, Jesus Jimenez, Cesar Jimenez, Edgardo Enamorado, Juanca Enamorado, Alejandro Faraj, Johana Faraj, Johanita Faraj, and Hazel Baltodano.


My flight to Honduras leaves next Friday and everything is ready to go. And as I promised heres a picture of me in Italy. Sorry if its a bit late..

Tired, but here we go again.

Well guys, I have shattered my promises. I couldn't begin production on Blood and Specs my segment in the Double Dread because of casting purposes. Some people just cant be trusted with contracts and all of that. And well I am now officially starting in September. That seems a long time from now.

This weekend I am shooting a music video for the band Euphoria, so that should be interesting. Havent done a music video in forever, and worse of all, I havent directed in 2 months...I hope I know what I'm doing this weekend.

And well right now I feel tired, (yea no jobs in a while and I'm tired, well thats how it goes) this upcoming month of August will be a hellish rush. I start The Weeping Woman 3 aka THE FRAGILE SPIRIT. Yep, thats the official title. I couldnt say anything, but now who cares, eh. Its a story about this group of men, obsessed with La Llorona, that try to capture and destroy her - and yet at the same time La Llorona has kidnapped a girl whose innocence seems to give La Llorona an impact of dark kindness. A darker story than the previous two. Eugenio Enamorado will be starring in this flick, finally a recognized name in theater in my films. I feel proud.

Well thats all for today, tomorrow I'm watching the next Potter film. Hopefully it'll be good, i'll update soon. Bye.
