🎬 Las Vegas Film Industry Night: Making Movies Without Waiting for Permission

On September 3, I’m excited to join Film Industry Night in Las Vegas as the evening’s special guest for a night dedicated to independent filmmaking, creativity, community and actually getting movies made.

Hosted by filmmakers, actors, creatives and community builders Trenton Brisco and John Molinaro, Film Industry Night is about bringing the Las Vegas entertainment community together—not just to network, but to exchange ideas, build relationships and create opportunities.

And this time, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how we built an entire microbudget action movie trilogy from the ground up.

🎥 From a Small Budget to a Movie Trilogy

Independent filmmaking isn't always glamorous. Sometimes it means wearing five hats, solving problems with almost no resources and figuring things out while you're already doing them.

I’ll share the realities behind creating the Echo 8 Trilogy and what it takes to move a project from an idea to something audiences can actually watch.

We’ll talk about:

🎬 Life as a multi-hyphenate filmmaker — directing, producing, acting, editing and wearing ALL the hats.

💰 Making ambitious movies with limited resources — and learning where your time and money actually matter.

🤝 Community-powered filmmaking — building relationships, finding collaborators and creating opportunities outside the traditional industry system.

🚀 Making things happen without waiting for permission — because sometimes the biggest opportunity is the one you create yourself.

🔥 Two New Trailers — Revealed in Las Vegas

The night will also feature an exclusive first reveal of the latest trailers for Five By Five and Echo 8 Beyond, the prequel and sequel to Echo 8.

This will be an opportunity for the Las Vegas film community to see what we’ve been building before the trailers are released more widely.

🌃 And What's Next? One Black Night

I’ll also give audiences a first look at my next feature-film venture, One Black Night, which is being developed right here in Las Vegas.

It represents the next chapter of my filmmaking journey—and an opportunity to continue building films through collaboration with the local creative community.
