Screening MINIONS at Visionfest along with my friends

Visionfest - Domani Vision Film Society (one of NYC's great film festivals) will kick off 15th anniversary run on May 13, 2015, and happy to announce The Minions, a short film will be part of it. An honor to be screening with great directors and friends from The 3X3 Project: Brian Dilg is screening Double Negative and William Speruzzi presents THE EXAM. This fest captures the creative spirit of maverick indie filmmaking, and I couldn't be more honored that my colleagues and I are part of it!

Slaughterfilm Reviews Painkiller

"Painkiller was as intelligent as it is bad-ass. It's a must see, especially if you like Cronenberg. I can't wait to see more of Kipp's solid film making." - Slaughterfilm

Composer Harry Manfredini speaks with Sound Designer Roman Chimienti about THE DAYS GOD SLEPT

"This movie is going to burn itself into your memory!" Thank you so much to our erudite, super-talented composer Harry Manfredini ("Friday the 13th") for sharing his thoughts with our brilliant sound designer Roman Chimienti on making the music for The Days God Slept and a wonderful story about how he chose to present the film at HorrorHound Weekend while accepting an award on our behalf...an honor all around!

This surreal movie was one of my favorites to make, and I'd love to eventually share it online so viewers have the option of enjoying the movie yia Harry's suggestion of seeing the film more than once and getting something new out of it each time. It's something I loved about Joe Fiorillo's mysterious and honest script, complimented by Dominick Sivilli's expressionistic cinematography and editor Patrick McGowan's significant contribution during post-production. Producer Lauren Rayner and I remain incredibly proud of the movie, and will continue to find new ways to present it, because the audience completes the circle.
