ZMD Gets Great Reviews from LA Film Festival July 3, 2009

ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction screened at the LA Film Festival on June 25th and 27th to sold out crowds.  The audience seemed to enjoy the movie.

A few bloggers have reviewed the film:

Kate Erbland of Gordonandthewhale.com states ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction is a hilarious and gory send-up of post-9/11 paranoia and genre clichés.” Read more

Christen from Paradocs Productions says “The cast fires off rapid comedic quips, paired with campy slapstick gore that will make any Evil Dead fan titter with delight.” Read more

Larry Richman from PRO Networks says ZMD is actually a carefully crafted political statement about the suspicious treatment of Muslims and gays in America post-911. How that odd scenario plays out needs to be seen to be believed.” Read more

Finally, Mike Szymanski of Scifiwire.com describes ZMD as “one of the Los Angeles Film Festival’s audience favorites this year, causing a midnight madness of whooping, screaming and laughing: the comedy ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction.” Read more

PUNCH preview on Fangoria

After a successful premiere at Crypticon and screening at the Seattle Elks Lodge in early June, PUNCH is starting to receive critical acclaim.  Fangoria Gorezone recently reviewed PUNCH and also interviewed director Jay Cynik about the process of making the film and comic strip.

Here’s an excerpt in which reviewer Matt Molgaard mentions my performance as Dart:

“PUNCH offers a wide array of noteworthy characters with outlandish, and unforgiving personalities. Punch is a rugged tough guy with ice in his veins, Skid is the unforgettable dope man with an affinity for prostitutes, Trekkie’s the cornball nerd on the verge of explosion, and Dart …well, Dart is just damn fun.”

Those interested in seeing PUNCH can now purchase the DVD online.

 ”This homegrown film is made for Seattle audiences, a horror movie with gay heroes, a Iranian-American leading lady and a farcical look at the of the post-9/11 world of culture wars, religious hysteria, anti-Islamic paranoia and patriotic rhetoric used to justify all manner of behavior.”
