Hello friends!

Summer 2025 is upon us!

As of this writing, summer solstice is a few days away already. Feels like this year is buzzing by. Mostly because it’s been so busy!

The big news is that last weekend, I launched, along with my business and writing partner Dan Hodge, a new venture: Cult Pulp Press. The mission of this little endeavor is to write novelizations of public domain horror, sci-fi and cult movies from over the years.

We were welcomed at this year’s Stoker Con to debut our project. These first two books, Dan’s novelization of White Zombie, from 1932, starring Bela Lugosi, and mine, Billy the Kid vs. Dracula, from 1966, starring John Carradine, were met with an overwhelmingly positive response! Much better than we ever could have guessed. So much so, that there may be some big announcements down the line. Stay tuned for that!

If you’re interested in checking the books out, you can message me here or look us up on Instagram, @CultPulpPress.

My horror feature screenplay SLUMBER continues to do well in competitions. It was just named a Quarter Finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters’ Horror Competition, as well as being an award winner in the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival, an honorable mention in the Frights, Camera, Action Festival, and Quarter Finalist in the Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards. Lemme know if you’d like to give it a read!

Another screenplay, THE UNICORN SONATA has ALSO been placing in some competitions: Quarter Finalist, Emerging Screenwriters Sci-Fi & Fantasy Competition and a Semi-Finalist in the 29th Annail Fade In Awards, Sci-Fi/Fantasy Competition. It’s a throwback to the fantasy films of the early 80s. Happy to pass it along if anyone is curious!

The other big news is that this summer, I am producing my first short film! (I’m acting in it as well.) Working with a couple of great talents and even better people, we have founded a little production company we’re calling Nice House, Rich Friends. It’s been quite a process and I’ve been learning a lot from the production side of things. I’ll let you know when the film (titled The Sunshine) will be ready to be seen!

Finally, I’m happy to announce that I’ll be returning to the Fulton Theatre in the early fall to be in a production of Driving Miss Daisy! If anyone is in the area and would to check it out, you can get tickets here. Let me know if you come see the show and please take a moment to say hi.

That’s it for now. Thanks for listening. Thanks for understanding (to quote my favorite band, The Hold Steady)

Stay safe and healthy!

Jared
