I made the movie for $5K because I'm an obsessed filmmaker and Noir was the genre I had to start my journey with. It was very cool that Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill) liked it so much that he wanted to help it find its audience and he signed on as Executive Producer.

Roman Polanski didn't make Chinatown in B&W because noir isn't about color, it's a state of mind. That's what I feel a lot of neo-noirs are missing. I refer to the trailer for Motherless Brooklyn. It looks like it's trying to recreate something physically, but fails psychologically. In Chinatown all the clothes looks lived in. It doesn't look like costumes for a movie. That's how I went about making my neo-noir The Dirty Kind. I didn't want to try to recreate an old movie. I wanted to recreate a feeling that existed in the 40's, 70's, now and forever.

Michael Mann's Thief (1981). Michael Mann has a unique style that people immediately recognize from movies like Heat and The Insider. That was not his style during the 80's and definitely not his style for his feature film debut, Thief. This is a sleek, well-crafted neo-noir and it feels like every shot, every camera movement, every grain of film was planned within an inch. It's a beautiful, albeit sad movie about how those living in the underbelly are destined for misery.

The Dirty Kind draws from Thief's understanding of the purgatory that is the underbelly. For the criminals it is obvious, but for Raymond it is a journey of discovery. He thought he was part of the "normal" world, but in the end, the cockroaches go underground where they know they belong.

When you publish through Amazon, you can order print copies at cost if you have people who want to buy through you and get signed copies, but they do take longer to ship out unfortunately since you can't use Prime shipping to get them.

Amazon may also randomly discount your print copies at a later date if they feel like it. My first novel is currently discounted.

here's a link with preview. Not sure if it's available digitally... I bought them as single issues back in the day. It's from the same guy who wrote Transmetropolitan if you are familiar with that.

Nick Hopper is part Philip Marlowe, part Jim Rockford. <em>You can find it for Kindle and paperback</em>, and its free if you use Kindle Unlimited.

Relapse may be common among opioid addicts, but Perry Rieder had stayed clean for ten years. So how did he wind up with two weeks he couldn’t remember and track marks in his arm? And who was the woman in the polaroid picture he found in his pocket? Not his wife from what he could see of her, which was nearly everything.

Perry suspects he might be leading a double life, and he’s hired private detective Nick Hopper to dredge up what really happened. The hunt for answers catapults Nick into a thicket of cruelty, corruption, and murder.

it is played on a site call cytube, it is a synch site. This means there is a video player which pays videos from places like youtube and dailymotion (hence synch) while also including a chat room next to the video player. Thus we watch the movie together and we will be able to chat (through typing) at the same time.

No problem.

You might try ellipses ... to imply that the dialogue is intentionally blank.

You can message me if you want further testing in the future. I write hardboiled fiction and I teach web design part time so this is definitely of interest to me.

David Fincher on the set of Mindhunter with a custom Red Xenomorph camera the company designed just for his needs. A very cool behind the scenes pic and a look at how simple a set can look in the digital age.

To say Fincher is an inspiration is redundant because there is not a filmmaker starting their careers after his that isn't in some way influenced by his work, whether directly or indirectly. He is also a master of film noir and I will forever be his student.

True detective is a reminder of how much people love the Noir genre. I also love that it's an anthology series. You get a beginning, a middle, and an end and don't have to watch the characters become caricatures and the story become tired.

Whenever I see the apex of Noir like True Detective, I'm reminded why I wanted to make The Dirty Kind in the first place. If you have a chance and are into the genre, check out The Dirty Kind on DVD or Amazon Prime here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R6YGSR6
