Nick Lyon - Director's Interests
General
Writing, directing, editing, painting, photography, art shows, swimming in the ocean, I tried to surf but suck, traveling, meeting interesting people, writing, movies, live music, powerhikes, party's, collaborating on projects. Otherwise, I'm pretty much love my work. Creating is not only a proffession, it's a meditation of sort and probably my biggest interest. I come up with an abundance of ideas and don't really have enough time to execute all of them.
Music
Eclectic - I love everything from Johnny Cash to Dead Can Dance to Social Distortion to Dandy Warhols. It's very mood dependant really. Whatever I'm in the mood for. If it's cheesy radio crap or sappy, I usually stay away.
Movies
I love movies that take me to another place. Really, I'm very eclectic. Fight Club, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Seven, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, City of Angels, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. There's just too many great movies to say that this is my favorite.
Television
"AMERICA: It's Not So Bad If You Don't Think"
Books
T.C. BOYLE - Short stories, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, One of Us, Fatherland, The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, It Works, Faces of Death.

PUNK LOVE - DIRECTED BY NICK LYON - 2006 - www.punk-love.com - synopsis: Chad Lindberg and Emma Bing star as two lost souls looking for salvation in this darkly stylish drama set in the grimy, rain-soaked streets of Portlands underbelly. Battling the demons of their drug addiction and the violent world theyre trying to escape, these lovers seemed doomed from the start. As Spike, Chad Lindberg gives an outstanding performance as a man-child whose love knows no bounds, even when such bounds are called for. Emma Bing, as Sarah, is achingly vulnerable as a teenager desperate to keep a glimmer of hope alive of the better life she dreams of. In the end, all Spike and Sarah have are each other, and their love for one another, a love that cant be torn apart. Unconditional love.

Who I'd like to meet: Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. Cool creative people who like to get shit done, people who have awesome ideas, nice people who like films or creative producers who need an ambitious director with a vision.

Nick,I'd like to thank you for being a Myspace friend and I wondered if you'd tell your friend's on Myspace and off,about my forthcoming film "The Limelight"? It's a black comedy about a struggling comedian.If you could tell everyone it'd be really appreciated.Thanks for your support and friendship. G
Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
Hope you don't mind me shamelessly promoting our first feature film which will be out early next year.It's called 'The Limelight' and it follows the plight of a struggling comedy.A dark,dark,comedy.
Hope things are good in your world and many thanks for your support.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
Wishing you peace, prosperity, and love in 2009! Click the pictures to view my submissions to the Doritos CRASH THE SUPER BOWL competition. I hope you enjoy them!~ Kimberly
