Planchette Wins Audience Choice Award
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown most of my plans in the dumpster fire of 2020, just as I am sure so many of you have experience disruption in your own lives.
During June 2020 the Splice Film Fest transitioned to an online platform. This was great, as the efforts of so many filmmakers could still be enjoyed by viewers. Somewhere in all of the festival festivities, my film Planchette won the Audience Choice Award!
This marks my first award for an artistic erotic film. I’ve won a few other awards for other projects in the past, but this one felt extra special because I’m venturing into a new realm of expression. It’s one thing to think to yourself that you are going to make an erotic film with occult overtones that intentionally looks like a bad copy of a copy of a copy or a copy of a VHS tape. It’s a completely insane take to pull it off with a minimal budget, find actors willing to get naked & naughty for your “vision”, and then to spend hours cursing to yourself as you try to zone in on the “look” and “feeling” of the final product.
The jury is still out on Planchette for a number of other festivals that it was submitted to. Ordinarily, I feel I have a snowball’s chance in hell to even be considered for festival entry, and now COVID-19 has diminished that chance into pissing into the sun. I am honored and grateful for all of the festivals that have selected my films so far. The goal of these experiments was more to prove I could make something erotic in a visual medium without it simply being labeled porn.
Planchette is online for free viewing at http://www.allendusk.com/films/planchette/. I’ve been hosting my films with PornHub because I figured that platform would be less riskier for censorship and maybe even some other people will discover my work.
Right before the US started locking down cities, I had 2 film shoots scheduled back to back on a weekend in March. Hopefully once the pandmemic settles down or is finally ended, I’ll be able to get back to work on those.
Cheers!

I’m Launching a Live Stream Show!
What the heck am I getting myself into? I’m not quite sure yet, but I have an idea of where this is going to go.
Gathering Darkness is my new streaming talk show, and I’m launching it this weekend, October 2nd & 3rd at 11pm Mountain Time.
For the past few year’s I’ve toyed with the idea of doing a podcast. I’ve been a guest on other podcasts, helped a friend produce a podcast, but in the end, I could never figure out what it should be about. Thanks to COVID-19, I’ve found myself with a ton of time on my hands. I’ve been working on a few new stories, wrapping up old ones, and watching a lot of live content.
It all goes back to my first erotic story, “Caught White-Handed“. I kept true to what I knew and liked, and the result was a sexy but creepy tale of a girl with a clown fetish. I’ve done the same for nearly everything else I’ve created…sticking to familair ground.
While I’m sticking to familiar ground with Gathering Darkness, I’m also sticking my neck out. By and large, I’m very introverted. I hate looking at myself. I hate the sound of my own voice. I’ve never thought very much of myself. Rather than hide behind finely edited words in a story, I’ll be talking and interacting with people in real time.
I was originally going to call the project The Sexy and Sinister Hour, but people would probaly be disappointed when they found a middle aged dude live on cam, rather than a goth babe in a low-cut shirt with a pentagram tattoo sneaking past the lacy edge of her bra. After raging through a few thesaurus searches, I typed in my name, Dusk, and the phrase “gathering darkness” appeared in one of the results. It’s the one that stuck because it’s essentially just another way of saying me, without saying me 
Join me live on Twitch. We can hang out, talk horror, erotica, sci-fi, writing, movies, photography, and all sorts of other stuff.

Gathering Darkness – Episode 2
Original Live Steam Date: October 3, 2020
In the second episode of Gathering Darkness, I talked about my appreciation for the movie Frankenstein’s Army, I showed off some of my Halloween decor purchases for the 2020 season, and I discussed my photoshoot with a nude model in an old cemetery.
A few technical issues plagued this episode. Just before going live, one of my light’s power adapters went bad, and while discussing the photoshoot my sound was off and the picture-in-picture technique covered some of my images – but I’ve learned from my mistakes since then. Half of the challenge is doing this one-person show live!

Gathering Darkness – Episode 5
Original Live Steam Date: October 30, 2020
In Episode 5 of Gathering Darkness, I discussed my influences from music, especially the recent trend in synthwave music. I discussed my love for the film Turbo Kid and how movies like it, along with synthwave, inspired me to create my short film Planchette.
I hared a side by side comparison of Planchette before and after adding the “synthwave” aesthetic. I also talked about my love of monster-themed beers, while happening to drink a Rogue Ales Batsquatch. I also discussed “Target Bitches” and how they always scoop up all the stuff I want…and I unboxed a Madame Leota Haunted Mansion figure from Funko.
