When we last spoke with Devon in early 2024, "GOREphers: Final Gnaw" was only weeks away from its release. The movie has since soared past all expectations Devon had envisioned. A lifelong native of Swift Current, SK, Devon is a local celebrity. In 2024, he decided to take his movies beyond his hometown. With screenings in Gull Lake, Medicine Hat, Regina, and most recently Saskatoon, Devon has terrified audiences across Saskatchewan and into Alberta.

Devon has just finished casting for "The Silver Scream," assembling the largest cast yet for any Dead Prairies Productions movie. With the script finalized, filming locations secured, and a cast in place, Devon is poised to begin filming soon, aiming for a release in mid to late 2025.
