We made Most Popular Horror on Tubi.
Super excited about this moment.
If you haven’t watched End Zone yet — now’s the time.
Link in bio or search END ZONE on Tubi and press play.
We didn’t get into Sundance.
We didn’t get into Slamdance.
Two festivals said yes. One distribution deal followed. And one day I walked into Blockbuster and saw Redemption on the shelf. Ten, twenty copies deep.
I had attended the AFI Youth in Video program when I was twelve years old. My former stepmother, actress Berlinda Tolbert, told me she thought I would be a good director.
Standing in that store I didn’t need an award or a pat on the back.
I had taken pain and turned it into something positive.
I had found my Redemption.
Part 6 of Notes From the Field is now live. The final chapter of the series.
Redemption is currently offline as we prepare for the anniversary re-release through @WorldOneTV . In the meantime you can watch Bad Vibes, Brown Eyes: The Story of Redemption via the link in bio.

Post production on Redemption started with a recommendation.
Stacey Bellew Thornton played Veronica in the movie. After we wrapped she introduced us to her husband at the time, Bonner Bellew.
Bonner cut a trailer first.
That trailer raised $24,000 and made the full edit possible.
What followed was two years of nights and weekends. Over 2,500 cuts. A first cut that ran two hours and eighteen minutes. A format problem that required a second editor. A voiceover debate I refused to lose.
And somewhere in all of it, the movie stopped being Bad Vibes, Brown Eyes and became Redemption.
Not because of a marketing meeting. Not because of a note from a studio.
Because it was true.
