We’re gonna shoot a short film…

Octane Movie Productions is back! Back from the dead. Back like a T800 Terminator hit by a gazillion bullets, but continues to chase after you shooting a minigun.

Back like a vertebrae because Addam and I want to shoot a flick called…. Dead Chick in a Trunk.

I know. My apologies if we offended you. But rom coms ain’t what we do, remember? Since 2005, we’ve said, “We make movies that kick you in the balls”. And this story.. well… is one hell of a ball striker. So “F” it. Let’s get the band together and shoot it next year in 2025.

It’s been a long time since we made a flick. But one thing we know…

Step #1 : Build your audience.

We got one year to get people excited about our film. So we’re gonna relaunch our podcast and website, and drop a bunch of new content.

We’re not just gonna tell you what great filmmakers me and Addam are. Truthfully… our film journey has been a gawd damn disaster! We’ve been shot at… and almost arrested by the police. We have flamed out and not finished a bunch of projects. But everytime we pull off the impossible and finish a film… it’s been WORTH IT. EVERY TIME.

This blog will detail our journey. Maybe our posts will inspire the next wave of independent filmmakers…. or maybe some one will read this and learn from our tragic mistakes.

Either way… should be fun.
