Thank you. I have a few ideas and paths I can pursue, but nothing is set in stone at the moment. Much will be decided after Catalyst is released on YouTube and based on its performance. For now, my main focus is on continuing to build up Recreation Universe as a YouTube Channel and on the...

Thank you, Kim! Great question: Catalyst will finish its Film Festival run in September. I'm looking at an October/November release date for YouTube and the Forums. Catalyst is not a horror film, but it is very intense, and the idea of releasing it around Halloween is very appealing to me.

Thank you, Maura! It's an honor to have Catalyst become a finalist and I am thrilled to hear the Film have such a positive reaction. One of the main ideas with Catalyst was to take the style from Perception and see how to make it into a 30 Minute Short Film. :D

Thank you, Maura! It's great to see these Cut Scenes finally restored. Especially the Spider-Man vs Captain America Sequence as that was Jon's favorite Scene after filming and I know he was disappointed when it got cut from the Film. Fun fact: There were more shots after the Winter Soldier...

The Marvel Recreation Universe Deleted Scenes. The Marvel Recreation Universe Deleted Scenes are here! The Biggest question I'm sure people have, is why these did not release with the other MRU behind the Scenes content: The answer is simple: These scenes required the VFX to be restored in...

Recreation Universe has reached 1K Subscribers!! To celebrate, I am releasing the never before seen Blooper Reel from MRU. The energy on Set for MRU was a constant rhythm of good fun and well crafted performances. My motto on Set, was serious on Scene, and light and laughing in between takes...

Thank you, Maura! Apologies for the unusually delayed response, the Success Recreation Universe is having has brought some unexpected backlash and consequences. It may take me longer than usual to respond to comments... It was an honor to showcase other Filmmakers who are Recreating and give...
