FAKE BLOOD - (2017) feature film, screened at Calgary Int. Film Fest, GrimmFest, Another Hole in The Head, Ain’t It Cool News: “I’m 99% sure FAKE BLOOD is a movie and not a documentary…99% sure. I’m pretty sure this is one of the best mock-documentaries you’re going to see. It’s that fraction of doubt that makes it all the more terrifying.”
