In our first Production Blog for our upcoming horror comedy webseries "Bored as Hell" we go behind the scenes to see what it takes to create a Hell that is fit enough for one diva of a Satan! "When Satan is accidentally summoned to Earth, he decides to take this opportunity to retire from Hell and adapt to life on earth. Join Satan in his politically incorrect adventures! SFX by Season 9 Face Off contestant Kevon Ward."

Very excited to announce that our upcoming feature film will be a horror anthology; a genre that is very near and dear to me! We're also announcing that the first segment in "Terror Tales" is scheduled to shoot this October and will be titled "By Proxy" starring cult horror actress Lynn Lowry. Here is the log line: "A Burnt out author on trial for the death of her son is guided by a demon to reveal the truth." Stay tuned as we announce more details and Terror Tales!
