We are in the process of giveing AFM a COMPLETE overhaul. We will be gearing the site more towards original film and webTV series. Soon our original feature "The NUKE Brothers" will be available for download (and it's already available for purchase on DVD) and we'll be uploading episodes of our original spin-off series "the LAST Wizard." Stay Tuned!
IMPORTANT: our old email address sardonica@erols.com is no longer active. Please address all queries to: sardy_2000@yahoo.com
Check out this online reprint of Editor Scott C. Carr's The Continuing Adventures of Fat Man and Little Boy... comic book tie-in with The NUKE Brothers. If you like the online version, you can pick up a hardcopy right here at AFM.
It's been a busy year for AFM Editor Scott Carr. This year saw the airing of his paranormal reality show Dead Tenants on The Learning Channel (TLC). Scott was the Sr. Writer and Associate Producer of the show, visiting haunted houses around the country, confronting the unknown and communing with psychics. Check out listings and info at TLC's Official Dead Tenants site.
A few housekeeping notes: We've got tons of new fiction coming you way, and don't want any of it to fall through the cracks. If you submitted a story and not heard from us, or even had a story accepted and it's not appeared online, by all means send us and email: sardonica@erols.com
And finally, AFM is currently seeking an assistant editor---web design experience, excellent grammar, HTML and proofing skills a must! Please feel free to contact us at sardonica@erols.com and put "AFM Assistant Editor" in the subject line...

--The NUKE Brothers: We've received a GREAT review of The NUKE Brothers from our good friends at Warped Reality Pictures!
"Watched NUKE BROS last night! You guys are really top notch filmmakers! Great movie, I was glued the entire time. It starts up really great and just gets better and better. You are great story tellers and the characters are awesome, as well. The visual style, quality, and locations are amazing. I'm a big lover of Post Apocalyptic fantasy and you guys really hit the nail on the head. I think the last work that truly captured the day to day essense of the genre was Vic & Blood. Both Corben & Harlan Ellison's graphic novel version and the movie A Boy and His Dog -- both were probably the last bits I've seen that are as convincing and real as NUKE BROS is. Really,really cool!"

Mountain Saga.

Book One: Champion Mountain (currently available)
Book Two: Jonathon’s Justice (Spring, 2005)
