In this psychedelic mind-fuck of a film Andras plays Trevor Blackburn, a master magus who awakes from a coma and is told he killed his wife, Faith. Trevor is placed in a halfway house called “The House Of Love” where Jeffrey Combs, Seth Green & Wendy Robie pry open his brain figuratively and literally, in search of a magick book that he has authored.
Starring: Andras Jones, Derek Mears, Miranda Richardson, William Morgan Sheppard
In this unfathomable road picture Andras plays a huckster magician named Nick who meets an idiot savant played by Derek Mears. Together they pick up a depressed hitch-hiker on their way to a magic festival that doesn’t exist.

Andras plays the lover/partner of Nicole Eggert in this super low budget cash-in from an early Tarantino collaborator. Jones doesn’t survive the first reel, offing himself intentionally in a game of Russian roulette, orchestrated by Richard Greico, pitting Jones’ character against Eggert. She ends up getting basically killed anyway, only to be revived as the titular robo-babe.
