My matchless White Shepherd Poe and my little girl "Snow White". And finally my wife. For enduring my esoteric mood swings for seven years. It's because of her support and patience that I managed to complete Bone Dry.

An Ongoing Section Devoted To Art That Inspires Me.
Open: Cut From Black. Slow Fade Out. Sound of a horn blaring, mixed with that of a heart beat. Camera moves in towards a car that appears to be upright… but in fact both the camera and it are upside down. Cut From Black. Slow Fade out. Another heart beat. This time slower. Debris from the demolished vehicle passes our view as we move in towards the shredded windshield.
The sound of the horn blaring slowly fades away. Another painfully laboured heartbeat. Cut from Black. Reveal Tight C.U. on the bloodied face of Jennifer. Her eyes are half opened. Motionless.
Jennifer Ackler. Once beautiful. Early thirties. Face bloodied. Fighting to survive. Turns to look at the passenger side. Her hand moves towards an empty seat. The belt buckle dangles loosely. Her eyes briefly express maternal terror. Tears fill them as they… fade.
JENNIFER(v.o.) "This is the day I died."
______________________________________________
Jessica starts to hear typing in another room. Her hair stands on end… for she knows who it is.
Braving the house alone she enters the den. A typewriter is methodically hammering out details. Details about where to find “Mary”. Jessica tells her that she can’t go now. It’s getting dark. She’s waiting on Danielle and Madison. But the typing becomes violent…A tantrum is thrown by Marry. She’s angered that Parish was allowed to leave. She wants justice… She doesn’t want further delays. As the typing becomes frenetic… subliminal images of Mary seated behind the type writer occasionally fill the void. Then that image occasionally looks like an older woman. A woman her own age. When Jessica insists on waiting… the typewriter is hurled into the ceiling. Paper and keys fly everywhere. She’s able to read the details and is horrified by what she sees. Marry will take action through Danielle.
______________________________________________
Parish drags Danielle near the bodies… then starts to stare at her longingly. His gaze is cut short when he hears something. Footprints start to circle him. The little footprints of his invisible victims. Blood on Danielle’s forehead is touched by diminutive unseen hands. These same hands start to leave bloody prints on his shirt.
Parish runs for his life down a hall… the plaster begins exploding as bloody streaks chase after him. Eventually catching up.

Bone Dry
Caesar comes knocking… his command bark is heard on the other side of the door. Scarlet chooses to confront her fear this time. The bedroom door is opened. The dog lunges at her... snapping. She quickly uses her foot to slam the door against the beast’s neck… Trapped it begins thrashing wildly. Razor teeth snap out into the air… its legs wildly attempt to pry the door open.
Scarlet reaches for industrial strengthen black tape. Begins wrapping it around the jaws… eventually sealing them shut. The dog becomes even more enraged. His paws, begin shredding the door. Become bloody. Several times the paws cut through the air and catch her skin. Blouse gets torn. Rips on arms. Deep scratches… finally it lunges enough to shove the door open wide enough to rip at the girls neck. A Claw lacerates her juggler. Blood begins jetting out. She falls to her knees… and realizes she has very little precious time left before bleeding to death.
The dog begins wildly attempting to get the tape off its muzzle. Scarlet kicks a heavy dresser against its body. Creating a barrier between her and the nearly free animal. Quickly she begins wrapping tape around her neck to temporarily stop the bleeding. The dog frees itself of the tape and begins growling before lunging. The girl moves out of the way and realizes the only place she can run to is the bathroom. The door is shut within seconds of Scarlet being attacked yet again.
Brief time passage… catching breath… licking wounds… then surgery. Our med student knows she has to sew up her own artery quickly or she’ll bleed to death.

As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types.

Interesting article on INFJs. Not sure HOW they could research Jesus? Regardless, I guess I need to start working on my empathy...
As an INFJ, you have gifts that are specific to your personality type that aren't natural strengths for other types. The INFJ's perfectionism and idealism, when combined with their empathy and genuine concern for others, can cause them to be true servants for people in some fashion. If they have also achieved a good amount of life wisdom, they can become powerful forces, such as Jesus (INFJ) and Mahatma Ghandi (INFJ).
Some INFJs have difficulty fitting into our society. Their problems are generally associated with not knowing (or caring) how they come across to others, and with having unreasonable expectations for others' behaviors. Both of these issues stem from using Extraverted Feeling primarily to dismiss external ideas, rather than to sort through their own intuitions.
Assume the Best. Don't distress yourself and others by dwelling on the dark side of everything. Just as there is a positive charge for every negative charge, there is a light side to every dark side. Remember that positive situations are created by positive attitudes. Expect the best, and the best will come forward.
INFJs need to be in at least one or two close, harmonious, caring, deeply understanding, passionate relationships. Without these, they have lonely lives.

You are Eric. You are the executive, the suit. You know what the grand strategy is, you understand what is needed of you, and you execute. Most people tend to underestimate you, but you deliver quite a surprise. Your hard work and natural abilities provide you with the confidence to step up to the plate when it is required of you. Although you aren't the All-Star of the group, you are the Manager entrusted with confidently calling the shots.
Due to continued drama... I've shut down my Comment Section of Myspace. Have enjoyed two years of showcasing my work... sharing and experiencing art with others.
It'll be a dark day indeed if I have to shut this account down...
Wow that's a great trailer. The sign of a great trailer is that it makes you want to see the movie - immediately! If only it existed! The trailer is extremely provocative and enticing - and I love the use of the music, especially the Barry chorale material that leads to the crescendo.
HI Brett - thanks for reading and commenting. I have been a fan of Simon's since Lord of Illusions but completely forgot he had done a ton of giallo in Italy during the 70s. Discovered that while updating my book on sf&h film music and just had to get in touch with him. Very diverse and talented composer! BTW my interview with Scott Glasgow will post in another day or two. Cheers - rdl
Hey Brett, Well, here we are again...another 2 days of body abuse...hehe Hope you get a chance to chill and re-charge your battery’s, I know that I certainly need too. Here’s a little grin for you…lead singer Davey Graham thinks it’s hilarious to electrocute our bass player Martin York with some toy tanks. Have a good one… Luv Steve & Nice As Pie.
Thanks for the comments. I'm heading back home soon, probably to stay this time. My fam. hates Cali and the midwest, so it's back to Austin. Never know how much you can come to appreciate something until you leave it. Enjoy the day and have fun.
Hey Brett, Wishing you a sun & fun filled weekend our friend, Crank up some PIE and piss off the neighbours….lol Wishing you every success in your new projects. Luv&light Steve &
