HOME OF BIG DAMN FILMS

Michael & Logan unveil Big Damn Films’ next era — Arbor Day: The Root of Evil, a micro-budget horror anthology and cult-fan strategy.

After losing our dream filming location in May and Michael’s stroke shortly after, we’ve had to adjust plans for Z*Con. The film is still happening—our script is complete, much of the cast is confirmed, and we’re committed to finishing it right.

Listen to The Big Damn Podcast bonus episode recorded live at Rose City Comic Con 2025: Firefly & Serenity: A History of the Fandom, 20 Years Later. Discover how Browncoats turned passion into guerilla marketing, a fan film, and $100K for charity.

Pre-orders for John Johnson’s The Fright Before Christmas 2 are live!!

Big Damn Podcast Ep.18: Michael shares his stroke recovery, project updates on The Fright Before Christmas 2, Rifters, Z*Con, & the future of indie films.

The Big Damn Podcast is on summer hiatus while our co-host Michael recovers from a stroke. We’ll be back in September with new episodes and may drop a few updates in the meantime. Thanks for sticking with us—we can’t wait to share more Big Damn stories soon.

This weekend, Big Damn Films is diving into the Smodcastle Cinemas 37-Hour Film Challenge—where we have 37 hours to write, shoot, edit, and deliver a short film. No reshoots, no sleep, just pure indie filmmaking chaos.

Join the Big Damn Podcast as Brooke Mulkins shares her journey from indie film sets to Hollywood, offering insights into costume design, screenwriting, and the collaborative magic of filmmaking. A must-listen for film enthusiasts!
