Wonder Rodent was my attempt to make a live action Mighty Mouse cartoon, and give guinea pigs some equal time. It was probably filmed between 1983 and 1985, with titles and credits added in 1986 (23 years before Disney's G-Force movie). I was in my late teens when I made this. Starring: Roseanna as The Guinea Pig David Ross (my brother) as The Badarse Thug Dolores Conrique (my grandmother) as The Feisty Victim Irene Ross (my mother) as The Mom Steven A. Ross as The Junior Scientist Written ...

I Was a Teenage Hitman was to be the prologue for an unfinished film project. It was filmed circa 1983, on the Temple City High School campus, as a project for the newly-started Dragonflicks film club. Janet Lawson (uncredited in the film) played the girl who distracts me while I'm beaten' on that cheap punk. -------------------------------------------- Return with me now to those innocent days of yesteryear; when a school shooting was so beyond reality that it could actually get a few ...

This is a parody of the film Flashdance and the subsequent videos for the hit songs Maniac and Flashdance: What a Feeling.

Final edits and titles were completed around 1986. Slamdance was filmed in the gym at Temple City High School ...

This is a "trailer" that I edited and assembled for the Mexican film Los Campeones Justicieros/Champions of Justice. In the mid-to-late 90s, I was granted the rights to produce and distribute an English-language version of Los Campeones Justicieros (to be tentatively titled Champions of Justice). This was just before the DVD revolution; it was also before Mexican wrestlers had started to infiltrate American pop culture. My master copy of the film--and the technology I had access to for sound ...

Here is footage of Martin Marin's World Power Wrestling that I shot and edited. It was recorded at the Anaheim Swap Meet, sometime in the mid-to-late '90s. Ever since I was a kid, I loved movies, comics, serials, and superheroes. When I "grew up," I wanted to work on movies that incorporated all of the above. Imagine my surprise when I found out that there was a long history of films with wrestlers-as-superheroes in Mexico (where my mother's side of the family came from)! By the mid-'90s, I ...

This is a "commercial" that I created for Vroman's Bookstore's selection of Kimmidoll merchandise. I used iMovie, iPhoto, Photoshop, and Garage Band. My goal was to make it look like some of the commercials that are broadcast during the Japanese TV programs on LA's local international channel. The images were taken from the Kimmodoll website, scanned from the catalog, or photographed by yours truly at Vroman's. A black-on-white version of the Vroman's logo was found on the internet. With ...

Never mind V; the real invasion is from G. This is a Super 8 movie that I filmed for a high school film project(probably circa '82-'83, if the homemade ET baseball cap is any clue). The titles and final edits were completed in 1986. Props included an Invaders UFO model and Mego's Star Trek Enterprise Playset. My brother David was about 10 or 11 years old when we made this. He did a great job, and wasn't afraid to overact. In addition to his Roger Corman-worthy performance, his hand held the ...

In the late '80s, I placed an ad in the Comics Buyer's Guide: Writer wants to collaborate with artist. Among the responses was a small packet from France that contained comic pages, spot illustrations, and other samples drawn in a most unusual style. The artist's name was Laurent Cilluffo. I was compelled to write something that we could develop together. One of Laurent's samples was an abstract picture of a man in a jumpsuit, with the lowercase letters "fx" emblazoned across his chest. He ...
