Making Movies is the Hardest Drug and Worst Headache You'll Ever Enjoy - Feo Amante
UNIVERSAL DEAD was written and produced by Feo Amante's Horror Thriller alumni and producer of my short film, LAST CALL, Kelly Parks. It was directed and produced by my editor for LAST CALL, Vernon E. Mortensen. I served as Production Designer, Art Director, Props, and Special Effects Make-Up Artist (along with my SFX MUA assistant, Jeremiah Vargo).
UNIVERSAL DEAD was shot in 2009 and released online in 2010. In late 2012, Writer and Producer, Kelly Parks, had editor John Niewiadomy edit the three separate episodes into a single short.

The Biggest Winners and Losers of Comic Con 2010
And you'll notice that Tron Legacy isn't on the list — in its third year at SDCC, Tron Legacy maintained the high level of buzz it already had among the SDCC crowd. There's a big difference between "buzz maintenance" and generating new buzz. Ditto for a lot of other Comic Con favorites that continued to be Comic Con favorites, but didn't really gain or lose new buzz.
So with that said, here goes, in no particular order:
