My $5k feature finally released on streaming
It’s called “Cellar Noire” and you can watch it here: https://fawesome.tv/movies/10829509/cellar-noire or on any Fawesome app.
I wrote a movie about the three scariest things I could think of: losing my wife, the apocalypse, and claustrophobia.
It took me three years working entirely by myself. My wife and friends provided a few minutes of voice work but otherwise I was alone. My $5k budget consisted of a new Windows desktop with GPU, a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S23 phone, tripod, mics, some lights and props.
Finally it was released on streaming on Fawesome.TV (which I’ve been calling Tubi’s little upstart brother). Here’s the synopsis:
Cellar Noire: A claustrophobic psychological survival drama. Trapped after a catastrophe, Warren battles isolation, grief, & his mind, with a talking skeleton as his only companion. A dark, intense journey of despair and resilience. Zbigniew Winzig's sophomore entry in the "DIY Solo Film" movement.
The Devil’s DVD Bin did a very kind review (with spoilers) of the film that you can read here: https://thedevilsdvdbin.wordpress.com/category/cellar-noire-2026/
Now I can rest 🙂

Stuck In A Sleeping Bag
One time I was camping in Colorado in a wilderness zone for college. It was fairly cold each night, and I decided to fully zip myself in my sleeping bag, even my head. Well I woke up a few hours later and I was getting hot, but when I went to unzip myself, the zipper was stuck. On top of that, its pitch black and the closest tent is like 300ft away from me. I go into full panic mode and it took a solid 5 minutes for me to get the zipper unstuck. It felt like I couldnt breathe, I hated it.

What is something that is normal for someone else but you just can't do it because of claustrophobia?
My husband and I were discussing the S.S. Abraham Lincoln and how long it has been at sea. He was a marine and spent a decent amount of time on ships. He thinks his longest stint without a port was about 35 days. I can not wrap my head around this. I told him that even thinking about being on a ship where I couldn't just go to land is anxiety inducing.
Some how we also talked about broken bones. I dont know how that came up but has anyone had to wear a cast? I dont think I could do it. I panick when the dogs pin me under the blankets 😂 i cant imagine having a plaster cast on. I would need to be sedated.

"The Fly Over" was the world's first (and last) fully underwater waterslide at Duinrell Amusement Park in the Netherlands. Constructed in 1994 and ceasing operation in 2003, the rider was submerged in water for the duration of the ride (15-20 seconds)
