@VinegarSyndrome I’d hang with the crew of The Nostromo because they have such good taste in literature, and anyone who says otherwise…well they have my sympathies!

@woodyander46651 @letterboxd Thank you so much for checking it out, I really wanted to try to help other indie filmmakers by showing them how we did things on the cheap so they could hopefully get some ideas for their films. Poverty is the mother of ingenuity!

My ★★★½ review of I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday (2017) on @letterboxd: https://t.co/YDqUPp6JXT
An extremely bleak and depressing post-apocalyptic indie sci-fi/horror movie that packs quite the potent emotional punch.

The portrait studio sequence in I'm Dreaming of a White Doomsday (2017) was filmed in director Mike Lombardo's living room. The portraits on the wall were real family and school photos of various cast and crew members. #TheGoreYouKnow #MutantFam

From the director of the award-winning I'm Dreaming Of A White Doomsday comes a new tale of nostalgia, horror, and humor only the delightfully warped mind of @ReelSplatter can bring you...

DEAD FORMAT.

Set in the early 2000s, on the brink of the collapse of the video rental industry, Dead Format is the story of an obsessed collector desperately clinging to the past with his vast movie archive while grieving the death of his father. When he finds a mysterious tape at his local VHS rental store, he discovers that sometimes nostalgia comes at a terrible price.

Based on the fan-favorite short story of the same name from Lombardo's collection Please Don't Tap on the Glass and Other Tales of The Melancholy & Grotesque, the film is one of the most personal projects Mike has tackled to date. When his dad passed away several years ago, he wrote the original short story as a way of coping with the loss. The film also incorporates Mike's childhood memories of the video store, as well as his passion for collecting movies.

Executive produced by renowned horror author Brian Keene (The Rising, Ghoul, Earthworm Gods) and co-produced by author/filmmaker Samantha Kolesnik (Waif, True Crime) & author, filmmaker, and founder of GenreBlast Film Festival, Nathan Ludwig (The Comfy Cozy Nihilist), Dead Format combines 90s nostalgia, horror & drama with a dash of Lombardo’s trademark humor and a touch of 80s slasher mayhem.

A film is only as good as its producers. Luckily, Dead Format has Samantha (not pictured) in addition to @loogenhausen and me. #DeadFormat #DeadFormatFilm
