NJFILMCORE the blog

My name is Erik and I created and run www.njfilmcore.com - my goal is to combine underground music with underground comedy, and then some, in a creative and original format.

CURRENTLY
I do NJFILMCORE THE SHOW and it's a lot of fun. I talk to my favorite bands and give away a bunch of free stuff. I get to wear huge monster costumes in public places! Tommy and Booch, Creepy Sun Cartoons, etc. Good times! UPDATE: I am currently working on Season Two of the show, more details coming soon.

FULL LENGTH MOVIES
I also have been known to create full length movies here and there: My Roomie the Bagel (2007) and North Awesometon Bears (2006). I am not sure when (or if) I am going to make another full length movie but as soon as I find out, I'll be sure to post it on this blog. UPDATE: I will probably never make another full length.

MUSIC?
Sometimes I sing in a band. Don't worry, you never heard of us.

ETC
Listen to my MUXTAPE because I know what good music is.

What do you love more, music or movies?

Did you ever take the long way home from somewhere just so you could hear a certain album in it entirety? I just did. It is 3:30AM. I could have been home about 30 minutes earlier but I chose to take an alternate route because it just felt right with the CD I was listening to.

Tonight, as I was in Atlantic City, one of my friends asked me this question: “What do you love more, music or movies?” I don’t think anyone ever asked me that before. I thought for a moment and then said the cliché “I don’t know…” and then we moved on with our conversation.

The answer to that question hit me during my drive home back to Jackson. I was listening to Sleepaway’s self-titled debut album. I was singing and hanging on to each and every single word as I was driving northbound on the empty Garden State Parkway. It is at this very moment that I realized that it is MUSIC that I could not live without.

Movies just don’t move me like music does, and I know what you are saying; “Dude, have you not seen Juno?!” Trust me, I’ve seen Juno and to me it just doesn’t compare to Sleepaway, one of the greatest bands you never heard.
