Rob will be directing the short film, SAVAGE HOT BABE MASSACRE, a horror comedy written by comedy writer Steve Strangio. Based on Steve's one-act play, the story revolves around a character named Chuck who has the fantastic luck of scantily clad women stumbling into his bachelor pad. Thing's go horribly wrong when one of the girl's boyfriend (played by former WWE wrestler MICK FOLEY) finds them and goes on a bloody murder spree.
"It's all going to be hilariously over the top." says Rob,"We plan to surpass the 'Kill Bill' level of blood and gore! Oh, and it will all end with an elaborate Bollywood dance number."
Wrestler Mick Foley will be playing the part of HUGE PSYCHO, a role he can't wait to get into. The rest of the film has yet to be cast. Rob is currently in post production for the short film, La SOLEDAD.
A web site as well as a possible Kickstarter page will be launched in the next few weeks. The film will go into production in July with an August shoot date. Watch for video diaries of the production coming to this site as well as the film's web site and possible Kickstarter page.
You can see Steve Strangio's one-act play at The Ace of Clubs Tuesday, August 31st @ 8pm (9 Great Jones St. @ Lafayette, under Acme Bar and Grill).

Principal photography has wrapped on La Soledad. Shot on location in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Rob Graydon has directed the story of Soledad Morales, a young woman trying to connect in a same sex relationship with her girlfriend Inez while dealing with her family's acceptance.
Here is a prop from the short film, "LA SOLEDAD". We see it briefly at the end when a main character spots it at a critical moment. We couldn't get any photos of actor Joe Menchaca (who plays Buelo) as a young man to show him on a poster from his singing hey day. By pure coincidence (though I don't believe in that) I came across an old photo of my late father who was a jazz musician himself. I thought it would be a nice homage to him and we put it in the poster. The day before the first day of shooting, art director Erik Shearer emailed me and asked for a name of an opening act for Buelo to put on the poster. I was in a frantic hurry getting out of my house and I typed without thinking, "Jose Torres y los Gatos". When I got in my car it dawned on me that the opening act was pretty much a Spanish "Josie and the Pussycats".
