New retail cover for Wages of Sin

"Wages of Sin" is now being sold on Kunaki and sports a brand new cover that will be making it's way to Amazon.com also. This new edition, like the last, is a hybrid DVD with properly formatted 16:9 widescreen and includes two mp4 movies including The 12th Night, our first short film released to the public and the whole sound track in MP3 format.

Wages of Sin is the story of Johnny "Trigger", AKA deep cover officer Nathan Matthews, who is framed for aiding and abetting in the murder of two undercover officers, Detectives Tarantino and Rodriguez and for the slaughter of several FBI agents. To clear his name he must go on the run. Not knowing who to trust Matthews befriends Teresa, a hooker who wants out of the street life. As luck would have it she's got the goods on Nathan's previous mark, up and coming drug kingpin Eric Constantine. Matthews must find the dirty cops who betrayed him, protect Teresa, evade goons, hit teams, and an infamous assassin called "Mona Lisa". This project was shot in 2006 and went to market in 2007.

Time to Muscle Up!

Demon hunting takes a lot of energy skill and so I shed some pounds and added some muscle to get in shape for the final fight scenes in which I'll be fighting multiple opponents.

By the time you read this I'll be back at our Southside studio which will be our only studio for awhile until we can finish this project and a few others including a web series, not to mention getting back to my other web series "Action Filmmaking". I also hope to do more writing at BBN because this is going to be an incredible year in politics and culture, not to mention it seems everyday somebody's loosing their freaking mind, but what can you do?

But on another note I will be at this year's Wizard World Comicbook convention here in the city promoting the Night Phoenix Press comic book series "Epitaph" which the movie "Epitaph: Bread and Salt" is based on. I will also be signing copies and drawing personal covers starting from $10 up to $50.

The Return of Jason Blackrayne...

If you haven't heard, my new novel "Midrash Express" is now available on Amazon.com and it's also ready for download. Here's the basics:

Evelyn DeVille is dead. Jason is free. But it's not over yet, he soon learns that he is in her will. Suddenly he's a millionaire and owner of a mysterious Jewish Midrash full of secrets, leaving Evelyn's fiancé and hanger on friends wondering what the real story was as they walk away with high dollar items all said to have been cursed. Enter the foul mouthed, violent, hyper sexual walking fashion plate Catherine Faust, a German pop star on the rise in America with her eyes set on fame, fortune and incredible power. But what does she want with Jason and the Midrash and what lengths will she go through to get it?

This is a sequel to the original "Blackrayne" book and picks up some two years later, so if you bought Blackrayne or like the Urban Fantasy genre, pick up a copy of "Midrash Express" and "Blackrayne". You can get them both for just under $3.00 for your Kindle.

Wages of Sin Film Now Free

The Wages of Sin: “Wages” is Now Free Worldwide

Apple TV users can now see the film in it’s entirety for free on Youtube

Chicago, IL. Monday, October 31, 2011 — Five years ago Apple launched “Apple TV”, a set top module that would allow people to stream video from their computer to their TV sets. While others pondered what it meant Nathyn Masters jumped on the opportunity. He presented “Wages of Sin” a no-budget action film to Apple fans. “Wages” became the first indy film created specifically for Apple TV and iPod users alike. But even though many bought it from other sites it never officially got in the iTunes store. But now the whole movie is on Youtube ready to be broadcast into your home for free via your Apple TVs and piped directly into your living room or onto your iPods or iPhone.

“It’s been an uphill battle to get this thing out there,” says Masters, “With so much content out there indy filmmaking isn’t what it used to be, but at least there’s an audience now who loves the kind of stuff I do.” This year Youtube has been experimenting with "verified accounts", letting people go beyond the fifteen minute limit with by using phone verification. This has allowed Masters and others to show off their wares.

Currently Masters is shooting his third movie, his first to be shot in HD, a horror based action movie called “Epitaph: Bread and Salt”. Centered around characters from an upcoming series of comics the film is set to be the “issue zero” for the books. The Epitaph story features world dominating cults, deadly vampires, neo-nephilim, a clairvoyant zombie hooker, classic superheroes and a reluctant demon hunter named Victor Locke, who will be played by Masters himself in the film.

“Epitaph” is being produced by “Motor Home Massacre” producer Christopher Free and award winning indy filmmaker John H. Rogers III and is currently in production in the Chicago Edgewater and Downtown areas.

To back the “Epitaph” project Masters has also launched a massive campaign on crowd funding site Indiegogo, seeking $300,000, one of the largest fundraising campaigns ever for a project of this nature, but Masters says, “The worst that can happen is I don’t get anything. If I don’t put it out there, I know I won’t get anything.” While he’s seeking many things, His major post–production upgrades are largely Apple centered including a Macbook Pro, Final Cut Pro X among other Apple software packages.

As a double whammy, Masters is also writing the whole line of Epitaph comics and is also drawing the “Epitaph: Abiding Liltih” series, which he says the next Epitaph film will be based on. The first issues are available from the Night Phoenix Press website at www.nightphoenixpress.com.
