The premiere party was a roaring success!!! Over 130 local filmmakers, actors and industry professionals in attendance. A huge thanks to all the filmmakers who submitted there films to be screened, it was my honor to showcase their work. Also a big thanks to Robert Maxfield who was our guest celebrity at the party. Robert has done sound work on Hollywood movies including: Twister, Mission Impossible III, Rush Hour 3 and more recently The Walking Dead TV series. So glad to see those who stayed after the premiere to party and get their dance on! Truly an unforgettable night celebrating local filmmaking.

So editing on "Guilt" is completed. Now just hanging tight as the score to the film is in the final stages of being completed. At this point "Guilt" should be ready for viewing in about a week.
Tuesday January 8th, 2013
Since the film is going to be silent with occasional sound effects, think of the music as the dialogue. With that important note in mind, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Paul Penney will be composing the music to "Guilt". Paul has a wide variety of genres that he scores and his emotional work is extremely good! You can view Paul's work at http://paulpenney.ca/?page_id=15
Sunday January 6th, 2013
Wahoo! Filming has wrapped on my latest film "Guilt". Today was the most challenging scene of the film but everybody did a fantastic job pulling it off =) Also, I must say it was quite fun riding on the hood of my car to get some shots! Thanks again to Jeffrey Lee Robinson, Irene Leonard, Natalie Salazar Waldrip, Seymour Muchmore and Z for their talent and hard work!

Hey everyone, check it out, The Emerging Filmmakers Project hosted by Patrick Sheridan interviewed me for my latest film Beautiful Scar being shown this Thursday night at the EFP. You can read the interview here.
Monday June 11, 2012
Hello everyone,
Wow, it has been way to long since I have last updated the site! A lot of personal things have happened in the last couple years including the greatest thing to ever happen to me, the birth of my son Jackson Carter Combs who was born on March 17, 2012 (St. Patty's Baby, which is awesome since he is part Irish). In my absence I never made the proper updates on my last film Samantha, for that I apologize. I also apologize to my cast & crew for the lack of updates. Samantha is in rough cut form which everyone involved will get a copy of at the very least but I want to polish it and send out a final finished version as well! In the mean time though, I am very excited to be back at it making movies and with that comes my newest project, Scar. I'm currently in the writing stages and the movie will be a drama which I plan to have a run time of 30 mins. Scar is scheduled to film this September and casting calls will be sent out soon. Stay tuned.
Here is the synopsis:
"Joseph Bodean has always had a knack for fixing things which he discovered from having free time on his parent's land as a kid during vacations. Joseph falls in love with Juliana who is having an affair and never tells him she is married. When her husband Malcolm Hoffman, a well respected Pediatrician with a hidden dark side finds out his wife is cheating, he disfigures Joseph and breaks his hands hindering his passion for fixing things.
Disfigured, Joseph
copes with the difficulties of being judged not only by the people who stare at
him but by the women he dates searching for true love. Crippled and
discouraged, Joseph confides in his family for support and is even introduced
to a woman who does not judge him and genuinely likes him. With a new woman in
his life, things are looking up, that is until Juliana pops back up and
Malcolm's jealous rage continues."

That's a wrap! Filming has officially wraped on my third film "Blind Without a Love". The production went fantastic. I want to personally thank everyone involved. Now comes the exciting and fun part, editing this baby =) I'm gonna put together a ruff cut of the film at which point I will hold a screening for the cast and crew to come check out and offer me any feedback on the film that I can apply to the final cut that will be entered into film festivals =) Kevin and Audrey, I am very pleased with your performances, you brought so much to the characters and really brought them to life. I appreciate your commitment and dedication to the characters. Thomas, you da man. I can't thank you enough for your professionalism and beautiful cinematography. Lindsey and Marie, you both rocked as my assistants =) Also, Thomas be sure to thank your girl friend for her assistance as well. As a film maker, I'm learning something new all the time and I'm fixing old mistakes only to make new ones. It comes with the job I guess but that is part of the fun is learning from your mistakes and being put to the challenge. I had an absolute blast working with all of you and I know the future will bring us back together again on one of my shoots or another film makers'. In any case, I can't wait to work with you all again. The story is very close and personal to me, I am excited to see the finished product when I am done editing =) Thank you all again, I will be in touch with all future progress on the film. Have a great night.

Hello everyone,
I do apologize for the lack of updates on my end but it is for good reason =) With "Daughter's Pain, Father's Guilt" complete (now all I have to do is promote and hold a screening), I have been able to focus more on and bring one of my dreams to life, my own video game tv show. I have started a new production company called "For Love of the Game Productions" to along with Heart and Fire Productions. For of Love the Game will be my video game company and Heart and Fire will remain my filmmaking company. Now since my true passion in life is video games, everything I do involving video games, truly is for love of the game (which is where the name comes from). So with all the experience I have learned from making movies, I have been able to carry that experience over into my video game lifestyle and bring my vision of a video game tv show to life.
It all started 5 years ago when a TV station devoted to video games called G4TV launched, I was drooling when I found out about this new gaming station, so out of excitement, I decided to write and put together a video game tv show concept that I could host to submit to G4TV for consideration for a new program as a part of their line up. They expressed great interest, they where sending me confidintional forms to sign and where arranging to send me out to LA for a meeting. Unfortunitly, when they got the final word from Tom Zitto (Founder of G4TV) that they where not greenlighting anymore shows for the network, things did not go further. So, for the past years I have been sitting on my video game show concept. But thanks to my knowledge of filmmaking and writing for a classic gaming publication called Video Game Trader Magazine www.videogametrader.com I have decedied to team up with the editor of the magazine and finally make my show a reality. By combining portions of the magazine along with my ideas for the show, I have been able to create an exciting new video game tv show dedicated to hard core classic gamers. I have two finished episodes including the pilot which can be found on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw_mkH-VGEk Please be sure to check it out and let me know what ya think =)
With this exciting new endevour, I have been dedicating a lot of time to it and will continue to do so. However, I will be filming my third film "Blind Without a Love" here shortly and I am very excited for the script. It will have a powerful message and story that I hope you all will enjoy. Stay tuned.

Now at this point I just need to clean up the sound, add some music and get a couple extra scenes filmed (if I end up needing them that is) and I will have a finished product here soon at which point I will be throwing a premiere party. I will also try to set up a ruff cut viewing of the film to get all your feedback. Thanks again everyone, I am most pleased with all the footage and acting. Amazing job! Right on! I'll talk to you all when I get back. God Bless.
Thursday August 14th, 2008
Hello everyone,
So things are starting to get a little better on my end and I have been able to focus on editing more. As a little treat, I wanted to share with you all a Ruff Cut of the opening of the film. I hope you all like it and it is still a work in progress, their is a couple missing scenes that I will add as I finish editing the movie. A very special thanks to The Toad Tavern for letting me film at their bar and a big shout out to my boy Hypnautic for letting me film his awesome performance at The Toad Tavern. Also, please be warned that their is some strong language in this film, mainly during the opening of the film. Thanks again, I look forward to hearing what you all think. Take care and God Bless.

Here is a Poem I wrote and read for my Grandpa at his Funeral:
"Grandpa my Hero"
By: James Clyde Combs
Grandpa not only where you a war hero, you are my hero.
I never realized how much I really admired and looked up to you,
until our final hours where sadly to conclude.
You where brought into this world with a bang and lived it with
spunk, stubbornness and love and you fought bravely for our country
with honor, pride and might, you left this world with a peaceful fight.
I grew up with you, oh how the years fly by
but I remember when I was little standing to your knee,
whenever I got in trouble, to you I would flee.
I will never forget our talks about the women in Paris or your times
in Jolly Ol England, for our conversations I will always have
an eternal appreciation.
There is so much I admire about you, especially how you stopped
years of heavily drinking and smokin, if only more people had
your devotion.
Even though you are gone, I know you will be watching over
and guiding me, whenever I am sad or down I know I can look up
to heaven and smile happily.
I am filled with honor, dignity and pride to be named after such
an amazing man, I will continue to make you and the family proud
with all my heart can.
Now that your not here, who’s gonna be the one to tie my ties when
I have a special occasion or hot date, I guess their comes a time when every
man must breakaway and carry his own weight.
I miss seeing you sit outside, every time I walked by you always had something
to say or a nice compliment to pay, when I think of you I know it’s gonna
be a beautiful day.
I miss your nicknames that you gave me, when I went to Karate you called
me the Karate Kid, when I dressed like a gangster I was Al Capone,
in our final hours I stayed by your side and I made sure you
where not going out of this world alone.
You will be sorely missed and forever loved, you will live on through stories
told and your spirit remains with us all as you watch from above. I miss
and love you dearly but it is a comfort to know the pearly gates are open
and god is holding you sincerely.
In my mind engraved with flowers, is our final hours. I love you Grandpa.
Sunday July 27th, 2008
Now that I have finished filming "Daughter' Pain, Father's Guilt," I'm in the post production stages. I'm currently editing, putting together the soundtrack and scroing the film which is gonna be fun and awesome. When I have finished editing Daughter's Pain, I will be throwing a premier party as well as a fund raiser with all the proceeds going to a charity. For my first film Betrayed Heart, I was able to raise money for the Children's Hospital which I am very proud of and can't thank all those enough who donated and put a smile on a childs face.
In the meantime, I have started writing the script to my next film currently titled "Blind Without a Love" that I will be filming in the coming months. Here is a brief synopsis of the film:
"One day out of the blue, Lee wasn't expecting to loose the love of his life in a fatal motorcycle/car accident that left his love, Ann, dead and himself blind when pieces of glass strike his eyes. Down on his luck, feeling guilty and loosing his faith, Lee runs into a mysterious mystic guitar player, who takes Lee under his wing and guides him to recovery through the beauty of guitar. Lee, is skeptical, doubtful and bitter at first due to his lose of sight and the lose of his love but Lee comes around and realizes the healing power of music. Little does Lee know, the mystic guitar player, holds more than meets the eye."
The film will have a very spiritual and mystical feel/theme to it and will revolve around loosing a loved one and how hard it is for one to cope with the lose. I will be playing the character of Lee since in all actuality I am this character. The theme of lose comes from my ex fiance running out on me, so I know how it feels to lose a special someone you love deeply and believe is the only one for you, I will be putting all that and more into the story and characters along with a lot of symbolism. I am so excited for this film, that I have been loosing sleep every night since the idea was conceived.

Great news! I passed the Field Production Classes at Denver Open Media (www.denveropenmedia.com), I'm now officially certified to use their equipment. What this means is now I have access to a Canon XL 1 or a Sony PD-170 DV Cam, lighting and sound equipment. The content that I film with their equipment will be aired on their reserved Comcast Cable channels which will be great exposure for Actors and Crew. All that being said, I can now start pre-production on "Daughter's Pain, Father's Guilt" which I will be writing, directing, producing and editing. This is will be my first film that I'm Director of Photographing which is going to be very exciting and a great learning experience as well. I can't wait to start filming, this is awesome.

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to announce that I am in Pre-Production for my next 40 min. film which will be a Drama entitled "A Parent's Fear." The script is finished and I am very eager to start filming. Whereas my first film, "Betrayed Heart," has a moral of the importance of Trust and Honesty in a relationship and pulling yourself up when life has got ya down, "A Parent's Fear," will have a moral and message of the importance of keeping an eye on your children, because all it can take is a brief moment and your child can be kidnapped. As was the case with John Walsh's (America's Most Wanted Host) son. My heart really goes out to him and his family and what they went through back in the 80's when their son was kidnapped and sadly murdered. My heart also goes out to all the missing children that are reported missing every day.
Here is a brief synopsis of my film:
October 21st, 2007

Here is the Press Release with all the info:
October 10th, 2007

Oh my god, exciting news. I was able to get the license for a song that fits perfectly with one of my scenes. The band is called Etro Anime and the song is called "Let it Go" from their album "See The Sound" I fell in love with this band about three years ago when I heard a song they did called "Danger" for an amazing RPG video game called Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga, I love this game. Etro Anime has very unique music, its like R&B meets Jazz meets Techno, it is excellent music. Please check out their Myspace page and drop them some luv: www.myspace.com/etroanime. Also you can buy their CD at: http://www.amazon.com/See-Sound-Etro-Anime/dp/B00008CQOZ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5258837-2984940?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1191642980&sr=8-1 Take care everyone.

I added a Ruff Cut clip from my film Betrayed Heart, the character I play, Travis Stone, is gearing up for a street fight. A very special thanks to Hypnautic and Apostasy for their bad ass version of Aint NO Sunshine. Take care all.

I have just finished the Ruff Cut of Betrayed Heart, which means the film is in the order I want it from start to finish and I am so damn pleased =) At this point, I have to clean it up, add in the sound effects, soundtrack (which is killer so far) etc. The only thing I might have to do which I was trying to avoid at all costs, is some ADR. I want to thank you all again for your hard work, you all came together to make this film awesome and I greatly appreciate it. I will keep you updated when I have the final version of Betrayed Heart ready to go at which point I will have a premiere party. I'm actually thinking about having two parties, a Ruff Cut party to see the movie now in kinda raw form and then the official party which I want to try to go all out for and hope you all can attend. Also, I'm gonna start shooting my next film in about a month or two which I'm very ciked for. Take care.

Hello everyone,
Here's the score as far as editing goes, I have fallen in love with editing, it is very time consuming and tedious at times but loads and loads of fun. However, I did have a minor set back, I was using a shitty version of the editing program which caused my files to corrupt, so now I have to start over, not to worry though, it will be easy for me to catch up. I do apologize for the delay. I'm so excited to finish editing, so I can start on my second film. At this point I want to give myself another two to three weeks on editing and polishing Betrayed Heart, especially since I'm gonna enter it into Festivals and show it to investors who will hopefully put money into and I can do the feature length which would be ultra exciting. Also, I will have a 30 sec. trailer to BH up and going soon. Take care!
P.S. If you have time, please sign my Guestbook. Thanks all!
