HELL ON EARTH & HELL FREEZING OVER: The Story Behind RISE OF THE SCARECROWS: HELL ON EARTH
In 2002, after filming my first feature, EVIL AWAKENING, the plan was to create another. Up to this point, my group of friends and I had been filming ad-libbed skits, but fate would intervene and the direction would shift into feature films with the hope of distribution. Working at a video store, I understood that it wasn’t impossible to achieve this goal and I also desperately wanted to produce films. In 2003, the film that would prove to be my most memorable for good or bad reasons, RISE OF THE SCARECROWS, would begin filming. I had high hopes going in and wanted to make something that was a noticeable step up from my first film, but I still had the same problems going in.
