After Dark Films is producing a script that Tim Long and I wrote entitled, FAITHLESS. I’m directing. And we’re shooting in Romania. It’s all very exciting. FAITHLESS will be part of the annual 8 Films to Die For Horror Film Festival and will be released in theaters across the country this November… mark your calenders!
See the press release below:
After Dark Films is producing the first horror films set for its 8 Films to Die For theatrical film series: “Faithless” and “Perkins’ 14.”
Stewart Hopewell’s “Faithless” follows a young woman trying to escape an abusive past by moving to Atlanta, but discovers more cruelty awaits her. Craig Singer’s “Perkins’ 14,” developed from a winning idea by Jeremy Donaldson in a February Massify.com pitch contest, is a killer thriller involving the arrest of a suspected murderer.
Hopewell and Tim Long are co-writing “Faithless,” with Chris Milburn, Matthew Kuipers, Aimee Barth and Eryl Cochran Woodlief producing. Lane Shadgett is scripting “Perkins’ 14,” and winning pitchmeister Donaldson, Milburn and Kuipers will produce.
After Dark’s Courtney Solomon, Laura Ivey and Stephanie Caleb will executive produce, with Beau J. Genot as co-producer on both films. The films will be shot consecutively beginning this month in Romania.
The original can be found in the Hollywood Reporter here
So… like I said, very exciting.

AL's Beef · 67 days ago
Just up is the most recent Titles Sequence I designed for the short western, AL’s Beef.
The short is a throwback to the classic western and we wanted to capture that in titles. In doing so, I drew a lot of inspiration from the amazing opening of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, the seminal western by the master, Sergio Leone.
AL’s Beef stars Dean Stockwell, Jordan Ladd, Mark Polish, David Yow, and Liam Dunaway O’Niell (Faye Dunaway’s son).
The movie was shot in 2008 on Anamorphic 35mm film.
Check out the titles here.

3am Reviews · 388 days ago
Just found this glowing review of 3am!
It would have been just as entertaining to watch the squirming, scaredy cat faces of the audience as it was to watch the night’s creepy finale of Stewart Hopewell’s “3 A.M.,” as it successfully made all in attendance shudder. But whether the shuddering was from fear, repulsion, excitement or, um, excitement, is hard to say. By the time a beautiful, young corpse(?) gets wheeled into the crematorium, night shift worker Myron is perhaps feeling just a tad too lonely and so he heads south for company while managing to never leave the room. With its disturbing visuals, psychological trickery and shocking conclusion, “3 A.M.” and the notion of necrophilia left nary a dull moment.
