The Art of Squashing Heads
Posted December 29, 2011
I met Marcus Koch at the Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas, Texas about two years ago. He was there supporting the film ‘Sweatshop’ a low budget Texas shot slasher set at an all night rave. I was attending a screening packed with fellow horror junkies on a Friday night. Having drifted into the s…
Day 9: Casting Moderngrumble
Posted December 24, 2011
When I first started writing Moderngrumble, the main character, ‘Boy’ was envisioned as an ethereal creature, a hairless, albino with a mouth stained gray/black with ash, chapped, raw, pursed lips, and glowing green eyes. He was also meant to have a mouth and jaw that could unhinge like that of a Py…

Posted December 22, 2011
If you’ve been following these entries you read yesterday about the discovery of the Tottey House, a hundred year old house filled to the brim with unique period furniture and pop culture artifacts that unfortunately has a logging road running through the front yard. So, the perfect location inside …
Day 11: Location Scouting in the Ozarks
Posted December 21, 2011
When writing a script for a film you plan on shooting, a film you know will be made, comparatively, on the cheap you would be wise to write something low on location changes and utilizing locations that provide: 1) ease of access 2) nearby washroom facilities for cast and crew 3) areas with low visi…
Day 12: Ambiguity, Tone and the Genre Film
Posted December 20, 2011
The genre film, whether film noir or slasher, sci-fi or western, can hardly be called ambiguous. In fact, a chief characteristic of genre films is their easily identifiable features; a set of signifiers that define a certain style of film, i.e. chiaroscuro lighting, femme fatales and the anti-heroes…
Day 14: Inspiration
Posted December 19, 2011
There is nothing new under the sun. Moderngrumble grew slowly, over many years in response to this fact. As a screenwriter it drove me nuts on a regular basis that I could not escape the structure, archetypes and rhythms of conventional storytelling without veering into experimental, un-readable at…

The First Review of Moderngrumble
Posted December 13, 2011
MODERNGRUMBLE is a road movie containing the fervid spirit of Lautréamont as the explosive, red hot coal powering its engine. Reading the script I came away with the perception that I had experienced the gleeful debasement of the expected familiarity inherent in the 'genre' movie. MODERNGRUMBLE cele…
