ForceCenter

Hello there, #StarWars friends! We're ForceCenter! We celebrate Star Wars through our joy for both the profound and absurd sides of the Saga. Themes, deeper meanings, and engaging with the stories presented to us fuel what we do as we enter our 11th year! Check us out and say hello!

A BIG DAY: Dead Media, our horror film about a haunted DVD, is now available to stream in the United States and Canada! Thanks to all who helped me take this story from inside my brain to inside people's televisions. Any help sharing this post or getting the word out is greatly appreciated!

Our friend @brenmarr.bsky.social passed away. He was a big part of the @forcecenterpod.bsky.social & Star Wars discussion community. He was witty, fun, and always reminded us that stories of hope aren’t fluff. They keep people going when the road is rough. Thank you for the inspiration, Brennen.

Excited to celebrate Video Store Day on Oct 17th with a screening of our haunted DVD movie, Dead Media. Complete with Q&A moderated by my podcast partner @kennapzok.bsky.social with myself and stars Jessica Fenton & @jamesurbaniak.bsky.social! Tix: www.antennareleasing.com/films/deadme...

Saturday, July 18th is the Los Angeles premiere of the horror film I've been working on for almost 3 years. After a long time of living and working in LA, it's amazing to finally see this film on the big screen in weird ol' Hollywood. To celebrate, here's the official trailer.

A full circle moment chatting with @authoroux.bsky.social about her first #StarWars novel! It was "only" 12 years ago that Maddie shared a short Star Wars story she wrote on Jedi Alliance for @maudie.bsky.social and I. Great chat that covers a lot of ground. Check it out!
