ohhh, if he only knew....buggered N' blown up. 

nevertheless, here's some pix-care of the director; Christine Berg.

enjoy.

my script won!

"get some"
wrote a script about an 18-year old Jarhead; Pvt. Barnes.
his mission: destroy the enemy planting I.E.D.s on donkeys.
yet, all he wants, is a confirmed kill.
okay, okay, i understand there's no such thing as "confirmed kills," anymore, but hell; it's a movie.
nevertheless, the script was chosen out of the entire U.S.C. Film School (546 contest).
$10,000 budget.
crackerjack cast and crew.
director: christine berg.
producer: gerard mcmurray.
two professionals.
two highly motivated individuals.
and i guess that's what it takes.
skill/passion.
and a little LUCK.
check out the brochure christine made for the script.
and some pix.
good shit.
very good shit.
