With no cash, no clue…PJ was armed with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Performance, and dreams of making it BIG. At the time, such unique circumstances in performers was unheard of.

Audiences flocked to indie B-horror flick, I'll Bury You Tomorrow, wherein PJ tackles the role of a decomposing corpse throughout the entire duration of the film.
