I’m thrilled to announce that Knights of Night is merging with the theater and production company @adultfilm.nyc for the final principal photography days of my debut feature. My dedicated cast and crew have been filming for over a year, and this journey has been the greatest joy of my life. We’re now in the home stretch, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built together.
Adult Film NYC, led by @ryanczerwonko , operates with bold artistic integrity and a Maverick mentality—creating opportunities across theater, film, and music without waiting for permission. I deeply admire Ryan’s leadership and the freedom his company provides to artists of all backgrounds in New York.
I’m honored to have Ryan joining as a producer & actor, along with his incredible ensemble of actors. They’ll be instrumental in bringing one of the film’s biggest moments to life: a wild party jamboree that erupts into chaos when the Knights’ posse launches an ambush—setting the stage for our final act.
Stay tuned. We’re almost there.
Thank you @arrowplayer and @vforvienetta for putting this together. Arrowplayer and Alan have been super supportive of independent filmmakers—making shorts or features. I discovered @arrowvideo around 12yrs ago and loved what they were doing with cult films, many of which I never heard of. This is truly a dream to be apart of their world!
If you haven’t seen the short, watch now, only on @arrowplayer ! Couldn’t have done it without our amazing lead @addie_gih_dree who expels the fire and madness of the film. Along with her mother played by @yunashapatava and her pray played by the great Ed Malone. I also thank @ericjpr for his cameo.
Not to mention my childhood friend of over 20yrs @lilymars__ shooting the film. And @sydniesfx wonderful special fx

Rest in peace to one of the greatest to ever do it. Chris Newman. Newman was one of the greatest human beings i’ve ever known. He was a true mentor and friend. I’ll miss hanging out with you during early mornings eating breakfast, talking about life and movies. Your wisdom will forever stay with me. You taught me a great insult of word, “turgid”. Your humor is 10/10, esoteric, and its own identity. You always made me laugh and it brought me joy to make you laugh, any opportunity I had.
I thank your wife Anne for reading my email to you and you responding to it before your passing. I’ll forever save this email from Anne.
I’ve always said that you had the best filmography of all time. From Medium Cool, French Connection, The Godfather, Klute, The Exorcist, All That Jazz, Winter Kills, Rag Time, Amadeus, Hair, Fame, Sophies Choice, Wall Street, Married to The Mob, Silence of The Lambs, The People V.S Larry Flynt, Before The Devil Knows Your Dead, and many more. Your filmography is unbeatable. 3 time Oscar winner of The Exorcist, Amadeus and English Patient
You’re the greatest craftsman, sound mixer, problem solver, scientist, mentor and friend.
You have touched so many hearts and have inspired generations of filmmakers.
You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. You will be the angels on our shoulder. Your voice will always stay with me and all those who you impacted or inspired.
Rest in great power.
19 out of 31 days, in the home stretch of principal photography. Thank you everyone involved and your support. So many more locations and characters/arcs to unlock left. This has been an incredible experience. So much more to shoot, yet great progress.
