Neon Fangs

Directed by Mark Janavel Co-Written by Mark Janavel & Cody McCoy

Neon Fangs is our 80s vampire feature that takes place in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. My team and I started production in 2018 and wrapped in August of 2021. We also launched a successful Kickstarter for the film to get funding for post sound editing. The film is projected to release later this year.

Spotlight: Excerpts from Del Rey IV

What is Del Rey/IV, is this a Star Wars™ rip off?

The DRCC or Del Rey Cinema Club (founded by Joseph Smith & Anthony Accamazzo) is a group of creatives who meet quarterly to present films they have worked on inspired by themed prompts given prior to each event. I joined shortly after landing in Los Angeles, and it was a great way to hit the ground running and give life to projects i ordinarily would not have. Here is a sizzle reel for a project currently in post production. The working title is To Eden, and its a short I wrote based off an episode of The Twilight Zone from 1961 named “Two”, starring Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. Instead of Nuclear War as our narrative device for the fall of man, we blame the advent of cell phones and the internet. If you know me personally, you know these are two of my least favorite things - and yet, here we are.

Spotlight on Emotion: Aatmashanti

Written & Directed by Pratigya Paudel

Aatmashanti was my entrance for the 6th meeting of the DRCC (see above). I met Pratigya shortly after casting her for a music video I directed for Matthew Schuler in 2020 (featured down below). Since meeting we have worked on five films together, two of which I wrote and three she wrote. For Aatmashanti I was cinematographer and editor.
