But unlike other meteoric stars, such as Justin Timberlake, who use Pilates and Satanism to get ahead, Mr. Lobo has relied on an steady supply of java, incredible production values and slick creative energy to produce a show that honors the best of the American horror host tradition.

BUT  . . . the big news is that Cinema Insomnia is now available nationally on the AMGTV network and on DVD through Apprehensive Films.  So . . . what makes Cinema Insomnia worth all that? 

So, come with us now as we dare to stare into the hypnotic eye and explore the world of Mr. Lobo and Cinema Insomnia.  You won't be disappointed.

Hmmmm . . . where to begin?  Enigmatic, understated and subtle, Mr. Lobo sits in a rocking chair on a mostly black set.  The minimalist, displaced hipster appearance of our host (a conscious homage to California's Creature Features with Bob Wilkins and John Stanley) is deceivingly placid.  While at first glance Mr. Lobo looks like a retro pop-culture psychoanalyst sorting out the collective unconscious with a random collection of films and clips, beneath the cool exterior simmers an insomniac's spirit guide.  He moves with mildly exaggerated physical gestures . . . pointing with two fingers, jerking his head suddenly to odd angles, engaging in off screen conversations . . . all the while referring to himself in third person.  The effect is a slight of hand that makes the subtle satire all the more enjoyable.

Cinema Insomnia has style.  The show begins, for instance, with an extended  intro which is always slightly unique.  Your journey begins with a few vintage commercials for nearly forgotten toys and maybe a Godzilla or B-movie trailer, like you're channel surfing after midnight in an alternative universe.  Then, after 3 seconds of bikini dancers with strange choreography, you are suddenly pulled into Mr. Lobo's domain.  Like a cross between classic Star Trek and Twilight Zone openings with cool West Coast jazz theme, Cinema Insomnia's first three minutes are unique and captivating.

Mr. Lobo is a scholar of the public domain and his movies often range far outside the regular cable access fare, from Alien knock off Creature to the fuzzy logic Peter Graves documentary, Bigfoot:  Mysterious Monster, in addition to Night of the Living Dead.

Sure, you've seen celebrity interviews, but only Mr. Lobo has the resources to bring you Sasquatch's prom date.  Hey, what's that she's holding in her hand?

Mr. Lobo shatters the glass ceiling (or at least a few Champaign flutes) with several major announcements.

First, Cinema Insomnia with Mr. Lobo, is now seen in cities across the country on AMGTV digital broadcast network.

The current distributor of the show, Apprehensive Films’ deal with AMGTV North America immediately covers all full-time affiliates. Episodes are available weekly to roughly 75 stations as well as hundreds of cable systems and networks served by the network, with a potential Clearance of 35 Million Households and six out of the Top 10 Markets.
 

Mr. Lobo made the most important announcement in the history of film recently when he agreed to star in several Virginia productions including TASTE THE BLOOD OF FRANKENSTEIN and VIRGINIA CREEPERS.

Stay tuned . . . stay very attuned.
