I am excited and very honored to feature the very tall and very talented gentleman that goes by the name of Bryan Barnes. He is, in my opinion, the epitome of iconoclast when it comes to photography.

Bryan Barnes is an artist based out of San Diego, California. His work is a sharp contrast to that of the sunny weather found on the West Coast. Much of his subject matter could possibly be considered dark and morose in tone, but upon further inspection, a keen sense of detail, spirituality and optimism is shown. Bryan was born in Southern California and originally on a basketball scholarship to CSUSB, he decided to pursue art (and studies) full time to further focus on his true artistic passions in life. His artwork has been shown in fine art galleries across the country.

“My artwork is a dark sexy traumatic roller coaster ride through visions of vanity, insecurity, obsession, eternity and lust. Constant themes held within the artworks are symbolisms of hope, spirituality, optimism, power of self and the beauty of the divine. It’s my goal to make the viewer of the artwork take a step back and sincerely think what is presented in from of them.”

First came the trumpet. Then came the sound. The stage will be set to fire. Creation awaits….

Don’t have anything to do this weekend? Why not take a trip to camp (kill). It’s far enough out in the sticks and away from everything that you won’t be bugged with traffic jams, smog or those annoying hot showers. Come on out, rent a cabin and lose yourself (or your life) in the beautiful and (somewhat) peaceful great outdoors. All we ask is that you keep an eye (or two) out for deer ticks and snapping turtles (or the crazy deadly killer who could show up at any moment and chop you to bits). Try to avoid contact with them. They can be dangerous! Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to the world of “Camp Kill” a new, exciting and very (very) independent digital horror feature that is in production now. Despite having a very (very very) low budget, “Camp Kill” is sure to entertain any loyal horror fan.

“What people don’t realize it that you don’t need a big budget or any budget to make an interesting and entertaining movie,” Nate Hanley, the writer/producer/director of “Camp Kill” says. “All you need is an idea, a camera, a great cast and lots and lots of drive.” “Camp Kill” is not the first time Nate has peered through the viewfinder and made a movie. He has been doing it since he was 11 years old. It was that age also when he discovered the horror genre. “It might sound goofy but getting into horror at a young age was a big thrill for me,” Nate says. “It’s like, you know you’re watching something you are not supposed to be watching at such a tender age. It was great discovering all those great movies at 11 and 12. Some kids were into G.I. Joe, I was into Leatherface, Michael Myers, Jason and Freddy.”

Believe it or not, it was not just the gore or the naked chicks that interested Nate in horror movies. It was everything. “I have always loved all the many aspects of horror movies. I really love just the atmosphere of movies like the original “Halloween” and “Friday The 13th”. Stormy nights and bright summer days just added greatly to those movies. You don’t get that kind of atmosphere in many of your mainstream “normal” movies. I really eat it all up.”

Over the years making short after short Nate has dabbled in many genres, but he always ends up returning to horror. “You can do so many great and interesting things with horror movies that I always end up doing them. I would say that horror flicks have pretty much accounted for the bulk of the shorts I have done.”

It was not until Nate met Midwest movie making legend Bill Rebane that he decided to make a feature. “I ordered one of his movies from him and sent him one of my shorts with my order. I included my phone number just in case. 4 days later he called me and said he loved the short and I went up to meet him. That was really the event that got me serious about doing a feature.” It was that meeting that made Nate decide to go for it and tackle a feature. “I have been meaning to do a feature for the longest time,” Nate says. “I just never had an idea that I felt I could expand into such a long running time. It was a challenge to write.”

Nate planned to write it over the 06/07 winter and shoot in 07, but it just did not happen. “What happened was I started writing too late in 06 to have enough script to start shooting on 07. I really wanted to make it in 07 but it was not to be.” Nate spent the next year writing off and on. Getting ideas down as they came to him. “I don’t like to force writing,” Nate says. “I like to just linger and take my time with ideas and that way the movie ends up just writing itself. It was really great to just take my time with it. I ended up coming up with lots of things for the movie I really like because of it.” When asked if the recent writers strike had anything to do with the time it took to get the script done Nate replied, “Heh heh. No the writers strike had nothing to do with it. It might have something to do with the lack of new fresh movie ideas lately though. All this remake crap is for the birds.”

2008 was the year that the bulk of “Camp Kill’ was shot. “I wanted to shoot all of the movie this year (2008) but there were lots of factors that made that impossible. June was real rainy and I was not able to get much done that month. We just shot when we could. I did manage to get lots of people (actors) finished this year which is great. For the most part everything went very very well. I’m real happy with how the movie is turning out. Now it is a matter of trying to keep warm over the winter and starting off again next spring. I’m looking forward to it.”

Landyn Banx
Tony Czech
Derek Dirlam
Matt Franta
Rachel Grubb
Matt Hoemke
Jim Jorgensen
Megan Kelly
Heather Meyer

Terror Overload – Tales from Satan’s Truck Stop is a smorgasbord of current indie horror 

veterans all rolled up into one completely insane exploitation horror anthology that will 

need to be seen to be believed! 

 

Synopsis: 

In the wrap around story called “Devil Driver”, a creepy truck driver tells a trilogy of 

terrifying tales to a sexy stranded hitchhiker that include “Dinner Date”, “Lot Lizard” and 

“Mongo Chupa”! She has no idea what this ride has in store for her or does she? 

Helming Terror Overload is a group of Minnesota based filmmakers including NFTS 

Productions very own Producer/Director Jason Stephenson (Pajama Party Massacre, 

Doomed to Consume, Off the Beaten Path) along with good friends (and people I’ve 

worked with in the past) first time Producer/Directors Kevin Myhre (who did FX on Pajama 

Party Massacre and Doomed to Consume) and Brant Johnson who had a small but bloody 

good role as a zombie in “Doomed to Consume” as well. 

I’ve (Jason Stephenson) been plugging away with NFTS Productions now forclose to 

6years and have met a lot of really great people that are just as excited about horror 

films as I am so I thought it might be time toventure out into unfamiliar territory with 

Terror Overload and have it be an entirely new entity instead of another NFTS Productions 

movie. 

 

When me (Jason Stephenson), Kevin and Brant started throwing ideas around for Terror 

Overload it was initially intended as a fun way to shoot a few short films with some 

friends who wanted to learnhow to put a movie togetherand then tie them into one 

feature length horror anthology. But moving forward from its simple conception close to a 

year ago. Terror Overload has since evolved into something far more than that. 

Terror Overload features an eclectic group of cast members including such people as sick 

and twisted horror author Joe Knetter (Pajama Party Massacre, Doomed to Consume) 

who pulls double duty as writer/actor, First Jason’s Ari Lehman (Friday 13th, 

ThanXgiving) sultry scream queens Scarlet Salem (Tales of the Dead, Pajama Party 

Massacre), Rachel Grubb (13 Hours in a Warehouse, Tales of the Dead, Doomed to 

Consume), model/actress Nicole (Nikki Homicide) Kruex, bodybuilder Marv Blauvelt (Beef, 

Sculpture), Chase Ambose (Cutting Room), Landyn Banx (Tales of the Dead), former pro- 

wrestler Mike (Gator McGraw) Kinney and first timers John “Bud” Knetter and Leah Avery. 

Writing duties where handled by Joe Knetter, Dustin LaValley and Robbie Ribspreader, all 

of which I’ve worked with on past projects. In the Make-up and FXdepartment… Kevin 

Myhredid everythingfor the segments “Dinner Date” and “Lot Lizard” and Tim & Lisa 

over at Haunted Autumn Productions (out of Minnesota as well) took care of everything in 

“Mongo Chupa”! The wrap around segment “Devil Driver” is yet to be determined! 

We’ve been plugging along this summer (2008) and have three of the four segments 

completed and a shooting schedule for the final wrap around story “Devil Driver” set for 

the tail end of September! So yea, I/we are excited that things are coming along as great 

as they are and that the movie is shaping up to be one down and dirty exploitation horror 

film that pulls no punches! 

 

I’d hate to give away all the fine details but genre fans that love their ultra-low-budget 

exploitation horror flicks loaded with over the top blood, boobs, gore, sex, creatures, 

sleaze and a bunch of other crazy stuff will not be disappointed with Terror Overload!

About the film: 

The film was written in 2002 when Ric was living in Los Angeles, and is based on another screenplay Ric wrote in 2000. It was written and conceived as an homage to the iconic horror films of the 60’s and 70’s, long before the “Grindhouse” term was coined or defined. Not including research and outlining, the first draft was written in two days (and a bottle of Jack). There are several homages and references to classic films and icons, both famous and infamous, such as Ed Wood, Citizen Kane, Halloween, Cape Fear, Jaws, Vertigo, Never Talk To Strangers, The Player, My Bloody Valentine, and countless others. In the end, Unholy Reunion will be a trilogy of films.

Ric McCloud: Also, since I’m a die hard believer in fair use and against DRM (Digital Rights Management), I want to get the film “into the hands of the fans.” With that said, I plan on giving away the standard definition print of the film to either the public domain or with an open Creative Commons license. For now I’ll keep the rights to the HD print and future “director’s cuts”, and to any special features, but that may change at any time.

Director Information: Ric McCloud was born and raised in the Twin Cities, Graduating from Cooper High School in 1988 (at the same time Steve Zahn attended). For the last 18 years Ric has been a standup comedian, performing in 16 states, and at venues including the L.A. Improv, The World Famous Comedy Store, and at local comedy clubs such as The Comedy Gallery, Minnesota Comedy Club, Knuckleheads, and Acme. In 1992 he was an extra for Dario Argento’s “Trauma” (produced in Minneapolis). Later he appeared (again as background, uncredited) in Stephen Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can” and HBO’s “Six Feet Under”. Ric has a B.A. in Psychology from Metropolitan State University and is currently pursuing his law degree, following in the footsteps of his father, defense attorney Sam McCloud.

Nothing is sacred or off limits in Athelstan Productions “Us Sinners”. From choking a prostitute to death while she goes down on him, to using a bloody maxi pad as a gag, Tim Connolly is never at a loss of originality when it comes to murder. Writer/Director George Snow pushes the envelope of depraved horror in this unique character study.
“Weird Tim” garners no respect from his co-workers or abusive God-fearing mother. When he meets Louise O’Connor a new employee, he feels he’s found a soul-mate. But, when she spurns his advances, Timmy goes on a killing spree only one person can stop.

Ron DeCaro’s latest movie, “The Gateway Meat” is a disturbing and sadistic film that strays far from the normal conventions of the horror genre. It is about a group of Satanists living in a quaint, coastal fishing town. As the films progresses, we get to know the character “Markus”, played by DeCaro himself. The film is mainly about how Markus struggles as he tries to deal with great expectations that are placed upon him after his father’s death.  Markus’s father, who was also a Satanist, was trying to open a portal into hell. Now that he is gone, Markus must take the reins and gain the power that his father wanted. With the help of his family and a couple of friends, Markus murders his way to power, as his preschool aged daughter watches.

 Formed in the North Carolina coastline community of Wrightsville Beach in 2001, the riff-fueled, distortion-driven rock of ASG that can be found on their latest effort has actually been at the band’s core since its inception.

 

 

Initially forming as a three-piece instrumental project, due to the lack of a dedicated vocalist, ASG were intensely focusing on devising tight, driving guitar riffs, locking guitarist Jason Shi in with the rhythm section of bassist Andy Ellis and drummer Scott Key.  

 

 

 

 

 

But as time passed and no vocalist was found, Shi was eventually forced to step up to the mic.

 

 

With Shi becoming more comfortable as a frontman, the group found themselves connecting with Volcom Entertainment, who signed the band and put them in the studio in 2003, to record their debut album, …The Amplification of Self Gratification. 

 

 

In 2005 ASG found themselves in a proper studio with proper producers, Matt Hyde and Phil Caivano, recording their sophomore album, Feeling Good Is Good Enough, an album that summoned all the band’s potential and spawned a thunderous hard rock creation that equaled what the band had been working towards for the past 3 years.

 

 

Shortly after completing Feeling Good Is Good Enough, second guitarist, Jonah Citty, was added to help recreate the album’s sounds live, which was none too soon as the band quickly found themselves on the road with the likes of The Sword, Torche, Dwarves, and CKY.

 

 

In June 2007 ASG returned to Los Angeles to record their fourth album, entitled Win Us Over, with Matt Hyde again.

 

 

Win Us Over, is a vivid, psychedelic, and panoramic thrust that is just as much for the ears as it is for the aura; an experience in a colorful and dense cloth of abrasiveness.

 

 

Big beefy guitar riffs and melodic foreboding are soaked in Southern roadhouse whiskey, that just might be laced with psilocybin, and are hazed out through a kaleidoscopic squall that packs a walloping sonic punch.

 

 

 

 

 

While the ingredients of stoner rock, psychedelic metal, and angst-ridden punk rock are apparent, ASG doesn’t fit under any particular category. Be you a fan of plain ol’ rock and roll and don sleeveless flannels while sucking down 22 ouncers and gettin’ rowdy - or enjoy waxin’ deep on the bong, Win Us Over lives up to it’s namesake and ensures that come January 22nd 2008, ASG won’t be knocking on any doors; they’ll be knocking them down.

 

 

Win Us Over is available now digitally and is set for physical release (CD &am; 2XLP) on January 22, 2007

Letum Ascensus was formed in the summer of 1995 by founding members Carlos Vergara(drums), Sam Fuentes(guitar), Carlos Hernandez(guitar), Eduardo “Cuco” Avila(bass) and Eric Ayala(vocals). The members met in the Los Angeles area in California for a music session. Each one shared their own distinct musical influences and the session turned out to be the perfect gathering of demonic endowment. The band was formed but had no name. What name should they choose that captured the morbid tunes that sprung from them? After many suggestions, an acquaintance came up with Letum Ascensus, which in Latin means “for sudden death”. Once agreed the members started their journey to raising hell upon this earth. Letum Ascensus has made line up changes; the current members are Rick Jovel(drums), Sam Fuentes(guitar), Christopher Gatz(bass) and Boris Bonillo(vocals). They started their brutal atrocities in 2004.  The band’s sound is choppy low tuning with aggressive bloody riffs, loud hard hitting precise drums and monstrous gut chopping inhuman vocals. Letum Ascensus was inspired by bands like Napalm Death, Death, Deicide, Brutal Truth and Cannibal Corpse and they have not looked back since day one. These guys have played with Cannibal Corpse, Brutal Truth, Morbid Angel, Immolation, Suffocation and Kataklysm and have played in L.A. Death Metal Festivals such as Gathering of the Bestial Legions and Murderfest.  Today, Letum Ascensus is quickly becoming one of the most brutal death metal bands in the greater Los Angeles area and getting stronger and more popular than ever. They do and will continue to produce hard hitting, head smashing, bone breaking death metal for the masses.
