PSYCHO APE' & 'MAGNUM OPUS' (with Filmmaker Addison Binek)

Psycho Ape! Synopsis: A killer gorilla escapes from the Detroit zoo and goes on a murdering spree. Shot for $7,500 on MiniDV tape in 2019, this microbudget slasher comedy pays homage to classic cheesy films made by Ed Wood, Troma Entertainment, and Mel Brooks-style spoof movies. It's a guy in a crappy gorilla costume killing people with bananas! The epitome of silly low budget horror movies.

Magnum Opus: The .MOVie Synopsis: Heavily inspired by Jackass, CKY, and The Tom Green Show, this 63 minute long compilation of stunts, pranks, and skits performed by a group of childhood friends was shot on VHS, Hi-8, MiniDV, and Digital HD from 2002-2017 and recently edited together in chronological order. They grow older as the quality of the footage gets better. It's "Boyhood meets Jackass."
