2023 (1-1-23)
Hey there cool cats and/or kittens.
The New Year has started, and this year is going to be the year of a LOT of Barbatachtian Films content, Scripts, books, films, shorts, podcasts if I find time. And a whole new look for the website, more of which will come soon.
I am currently writing a Christmas film to release next Winter. The working title is Oh My God, It’s Christmas and I currently have eleven pages written. As usual I have no idea how I’ll actually make it, but I’ll figure out something. It’s got an irreverent tone so far, and in theory is a horror film.
I will also release Barbatachtian: 1985. That is in the usual state of flux, and will be saved in editing again. Some would say the last one wasn’t, yet I’d say… hah.
I will also be working on some more shorts. People like shorts.
Outside of that on a personal level, I plan to travel more. Partly for location shooting in different places, partly just to see the world again.
At any rate, remember… life is beautiful, and so are you.
Laters!
Year end review (31-12-22)
Hey there cool cats and/or kittens.
2022 is almost at an end, so it seems fitting for me to do wrap up of sorts for a year which has certainly been a year, both for good and for bad.
Firstly, I know that this website needs updating. It’s in the works.
Secondly, it’s been a proper grand year royalty wise. Thanks for Indie Nation Network and New Village Video, the films are still making change. Not anything I can live on, but it’s still awesome that people watch and pay for this dreck.
Thirdly, I came close to selling a script this year. I will sell one next year. That is my resolution. I know some people will scoff, but I willed myself to make a bunch of films and I did that so I’m going to sell a script damnit.
Fourthly, there’ll be a new book on Amazon at some point. It’ll be a book about my experiences making these films. I’ll keep y’all posted.
Finally, next year will see lots of new projects. There’ll be Barbatachtian: 1985, there’ll be a Christmas film (those make good bank at Christmas time), and I’ll be aiming to make a bigger film. Not sure which one yet, but I’ll be pushing for it.
For now, enjoy the New Year
See y’all on the other side.
Oh, and buy some shit on the store. https://barbatachthianfilm.com/store/
Indie Nation Network
I have a new short available on Indie Nation Network, and to celebrate they gave me my very own section.
Subscribe today. I get paid royalties when my films are watched there.
Shameless shilling (14-11-22)
Hola cool cats and/or kittens.
Did you know that if you rent Barbatachtian on Neq village Video that yours truly get royalties?
Well, you do now.
Kung Fu Island (9-11-22)
Yes, it’s time to shill today.
I have written a screenplay called Kung Fu Island that I am hoping to make as a film at some point in the future. But because I like money, I also put it on Amazon as an E-Book. I figure hey, if it’s a gigantic success then someone will buy the rights from me and pay me a lot of money to rewrite it as as Hollywood film.
So if enough of you buy a copy…

Various (19-10-21)
This is a housekeeping post of various entries that don’t merit their own blog per se, but work as part of a wider reaching ramble and extra curricular discourse.
Firstly, I forgot that this site had a podcast. So there’s a new episode below discussing Barbatachtian Returns. It contains some spoilers, so watch it first. Or don’t.
Secondly, the new film has had a few reviews. I’ll discuss the YouTube’s ones in a future podcast, but I’d like to focus on the one I actually give a shit about. Namely Dark Eyes of London Review
It’s a brutally honest review, but it does praise the film visually and audibly in parts. Which is fair enough. I think my films need actual actors in them who can, ya know, act… which will let me accentuate my positives in terms of visuals and sound. Most importantly, this reviewer did not like the other two films. So the vibe here being that it’s not as awful is really cool. Progress.
Thirdly, Scream in a cinema is amazing. What a film.
Fourthly, I am working on a combined cut of Barbatachtian and Barbatachtian Returns into one giant film. That’ll be a 2022 thing.
Finally, Barbatachtian’s follow up is going to be a direct sequel. The prequel will be made at some point, but one person on Twitter replied to my poll saying a direct sequel was what they wanted and by God I don’t let my fans down.
A Very 2020 Christmas Carol: VHS Rip (03-03-21)
I was sent this in the post by a mysterious man named Rosencratz, and felt compelled to put it online. Can’t say I’m entirely sure how he found a VHS copy of the film given I shot it and edited it myself on my PC, but the note demanded I put it up on YouTube. I tried to add subtitles to it, not sure how successful I was…
So, here we go.
