Welcome to the land of betrayals.

Kevin Chap, the star of Again to Return (Loss fest Creative vision award winner) team up in this unique buddy film.

It's lucky that I have a toilet for my editing chair.

Wait, 'Taking Advantage' has Jennifer Anniston!

We let her read for a part too. It was the character that always complains about the steak, but she was just a LITTLE too whiny.

[Tim Joy]

Tim, you;re an occupational hazard...

You'll need more insults than that to get a poster out of me.

damn rules... I suppose one will come along sometime.

Vermont Filmmaker had a history of mental illness
Parents of Vermont filmmaker warned authorities their son was erratic, might have run & gun

By Phil McCrackin, Unassociated DVXuser Press

East Cowpie, VT. -- The man who shot video in front of “Louie’s House of Cheese” had a history of mental illness
and had become so erratic that his parents reached out to local authorities weeks ago with a warning that he was unstable
and might have a 7D run & gun rig, authorities said Friday.

It's still unclear why Tim Joy was shooting video Thursday at the House of Cheese entrance, digitally capturing two police officers
before he was tased into submission. The two officers were hospitalized briefly with minor injuries and urine stains on their uniforms.
Joy was diagnosed as bipolar, or manic depressive, and had been in and out of treatment programs for years. His psychiatrist,
J. Fred Bovine, said Joy tried to self-medicate with marijuana, inadvertently making his symptoms more pronounced.

"Without the stabilizing medication, the symptoms of his frame rate choice, ISO, lens envy, bizarre aspect ratios and strange filmmaking
techniques complicated the lack of treatment," Bovine said.

Joy is currently sedated and resting comfortably in the “Vermont Institution for the DSLR Challenged”.
