Klaus Resurrects the Army of the Confederate Dead
Thought I'd post the ending scene on its own a couple days after the full episode, because why not.
Is Civil War History Being REWRITTEN?!?!?!?!?!
Sorry for the delay in getting this to y'all. I ran into a monetization issue that has thankfully been resolved. Enjoy! ;)
"We Rise Again" - Checkmate Lincolnites 9 OST
This new Dillon DeRosa track might be a new personal favorite.Episode 9 uploading now.
Thought you might like to know...
It took much longer than I expected or would have liked, but today I finished the first cut of The Sudbury Devil. Woohoo!Also, Checkmate Lincolnites is pretty much done. I'm just waiting on the final mix of the DeRosa score, which should come into my inbox any minute now. It could be up on early access for $10 patrons as soon as late tonight.
Making movies is fun
Filming today went very well. There's still two more days left to shoot this sequence but that's because we're getting pretty specific with some special effects stuff. Today we were just doing stuff with this one actor (some of you may know him) and getting all his stuff shot.To whom it may concern: intention is important, and this work will be deeply disrespectful of the ideologies here portrayed. Atun-Shei Films does not have fascis...
All set for filming tomorrow!
I can't wait for you all to see this!
The slaver's boneyard
Well that was a bitch and a half. Set construction is finally (nearly) complete – my buddy Eduardo did the frame and I did everything else.All I have to do now is lay some dirt down on the floor. We start shooting on Wednesday.
Get excited because this is gonna be fuckin sick
That's right, the big set I've been building . . . . is a crypt!Obviously it needs to be painted and a hundred other details added, but here's one wall so far.
They rise again...

Really coming together
With this and the skeletons, any guesses as to what might be in store for our dear Johnny and Billy?
Construction begins...
What could it be, I wonder?
Filmed the thing – but you won't see it for another six weeks
Yesterday I shot the thing you all like – then I hid it away in a hard drive, where it will remain untouched for a month while I work on other things. Ah, but how I delight in torturing you! How I thrive on your agony!Later this week I am going to go get a bunch of lumber and start building an elaborate set. I'll give $1,000 dollars* to anyone who can guess what it is.*in monopoly money
A slight change of plan
Here's another Sal pic.I took a hard look at the calendar and decided that if I wanted to finish the next Checkmate Lincolnites on schedule, not rush my Leif Erikson Day special, and get the first cut of my movie done by the end of the month, I'd need to move Checkmate to the front of the queue.The next episode will be the penultimate one. I'm writing the script now, and I plan is to shoot most of it – the Billy/Johnny parts – aro...
A late summer update
Don't really have any photos to show my progress, so here's a picture of my dog.After getting my new studio set up and editing the Upstairs Lounge video, I turned my attention to editing The Sudbury Devil, taking about two weeks to focus on it almost exclusively. Happy to report that I'm in the midst of the third act now and rapidly closing in on finishing the first cut.This week I put some of my old movies on Vimeo on Demand, and wor...
A Tour of My New Studio
And a very sincere thank-you to every single one of my generous patrons.
The Bad History Drinking Game (feat. Miniminuteman)
Hey all, I'm going live for a drinking game with Milo from Miniminuteman tomorrow night at 7 PM CT. He's a bright young whippersnapper from the TikTok who's taking the youth by storm, and I'm excited to feel young again vicariously through him. We're going to torture each other with terrible pseudo-histories in our fields of expertise, should be fun. Hope to see some of y'all there.
Major news incoming
It is the dawning of a new age! Kind of. In my little world, at least.I've been non-stop busy getting something operational that is going to be an enormous positive change in the efficiency and quality of the production of my videos. I'll wait til it's done to show you all, but it's gonna be great.
Just finished 4 days of night shoots
Now to the edit!
What I'm up to this summer...
Summer in New Orleans feels like a sauna and smells like tequila sweat –– so I typically spend most of it inside, working.In my continuing quest to be the most aggressively uncommercial content creator ever, I'm going to be spending much of the next month or so working on what may prove to be a feature-length unabridged and annotated dramatic reading of Demonology by James I, my favorite witch-hunting manual. He framed it as a Socratic di...
Trying something new...
Filmed late into the night on something very weird and different. A couple other projects are also on the horizon. Longer update to follow soon.
