Since “Henry’s Future” wrapped, Emil has taken on two new and interesting endeavors: co-founding the Buffalo Screams Film Festival (an annual event focused on horror, sci-fi, fantasy and suspense films), and participating Buffalo’s Comic-Con, where he can mix his love of comic books and graphic novels in a fun, adventurous setting!

A hopeful November or December release plans to follow.

Emil’s work as an fine art artist continues to this day. In ‘art circles’ Emil is noted as a professional freelance artist; comic book penciler, inker and colorist; graphic artist; art designer; and illustrator. His work has been influenced by the German expressionistic movement, light & shadows, psychedelic/progressive imagery, 1900’s illustrators, and the comic book art of Jack "The King" Kirby, N.C. Wyeth, and Franklin Booth.. His artistry on paper has appeared on the front cover of Artvoice as well as numerous covers for the Buffalo’s Bison Baseball magazine. He also served as past publisher of Buffalo Nickel Comics for three years.
In the last three years Emil has kept busy, returning to work on several of Buffalo Nickel Productions’ projects (“Tesla” (drama about Nicholas Tesla), “Decayed”, “Something Dark”, “Banshee”). He provided production and camera services to Greg Lamberson’s “Slime City Massacre” (where you can see him in an un-credited role as a homeless guy warming his hands over the fire!), as worked as a Lighting Technician and cameraman for "Aprils Future" (
