Class of 'Nuke Em High IV (2014)

Writer
with 68 other people

In 1999 a collaborative screenplay contest for Class of Nuke 'Em IV  was put on by Troma. I entered and won (they still owe me $50) a spot as a collaborator on the script. There were 40 screenwriters on this. I'm curious if this could be real? And, if so, can the scene I wrote with Lloyd Kaufman being accosted by Ghandi and Santa Claus be coming to fruition? Let's hope not.

Back Woods (2001)

Writer, 
as Luther

BUY IT HERE!

After a group of rowdy teens run over his man-woman mother, a 300 lb. retarded transvestite redneck goes absolutely ripshit on basically every other character in the movie.

"How do you review a terrible movie if the point of the movie is how terrible it is? The answer, my eager young friends, is with a smile on your face,a spring in your step, and a whole thesaurus full of interesting curse words at your disposal. Simply stating the premise of this movie aloud is enough to cause an entire hospital wing full of babies to burst into flames. So what we've got here is a no-budget horror flick to end all no-budget horror flicks. It is a clear parody of the genre, and some might say it's a pretty good one, too."

Crushed Velvet (2013)

Co-Writer
as Richards

In a parallel dimension, censorship has been rescinded from all movies and television so people can do and say almost anything on TV. As a result, everyone in the country watches television day and night. It is a national addiction. Enter Dusty Velvet, whose husband has been "taken" for service in the national armed forces. The chances of him surviving are slim because wars have broken out all over Iraq & Iran and the only way to get him back is to "buy" him back from the military for $500,000. A new reality "game show" is on the air offering $1M for the contestant who can last sixty days in a solitary confinement chamber with nothing but a bed, table and toilet. A video camera watches each of the contestants 24/7 and it is the hottest show on television. Dusty Velvet is chosen as a contestant and is slowly becoming the newest "American Idol" for her antics inside the chamber. However, after a long period in darkness and isolation, things suddenly take a horrid turn for the worse in this tale from the darker side of reality.
