feature-length film, a paranormal thriller. Shooting is expected to start January 2014.
• Writer/Director/Actor Scott Brown is in pre-production on a western short film,
that may be shot at an actual old west ghost town down south. (September-ish? October-ish?)

• Writer/Director Shawn Dyer is in pre-production on a web series about clowns,
produced through his new film company, Ulexite Films.

around Hollywood and the greater film ethosphere.
