THE BLACK CANVAS

 

1473: Vlad the Impaler, the bloodthirsty ruler behind the Dracula legend, paints a canvas using the blood of a slain enemy warrior.  As centuries pass, the painting grows in legend as having the power to conjure demons from hell itself.  In hushed corners it becomes known as “The Black Canvas”.

Author Mike Olafson (The Amulet of Atlantis) brings this tale of intrigue and occult mystery to life as he introduces the reader to Simon Sandhu, known in eccentric circles around the world as “The Seeker”!

VISTA MORADa

MOVIE RANCH

Located a few miles off lonely Highway 350 in Southern Colorado, Vista Morada is our developing 36 acre private movie ranch we use for various film projects.  Plans are in place to erect a replica of a 17th century Spanish Mission- similar to ones that were built from adobe, wood and rock in New Mexico or even southern Colorado at that time.  The building will also be fully habitable which allows for interior shooting as well as accommodations for limited numbers of cast and crew.  But in the meantime, the land is still wide open and has already been used for an episode of "Bullets From Beyond" and will be used for two film projects in 2024.
