Career
Armstrong is also known for his work as a writer, producer and editors After graduating Armstrong went on to travel, spending time in the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and America. Never having had any formal film school training, Armstrong credits his expertise to on-the-job experience.
Combining all aspects of his favourite movie genres Armstrong coined the term "Neo-Pulp" describing it as "lovingly embracing the most extreme, cliche, and supercilious elements of popular culture and pulp literature and putting them in a human context.
lieutenant’s not a spoof, it’s not horror, it’s not action, it’s not sci-fi, it’s not drama. lieutenant’s all of these things.
lieutenant’s neo-pulp.” Most of Armstrong"s films fall under this category. Since then Armstrong went on to create many more films often both writing and directing them.
In 2013 he released his first feature film Murderdrome, and in 2015 came From Parts Unknown: Fight Like a Girl.
From Parts Unknown was actually filmed before Murderdrome but was not released until later due to what Armstrong quoted as "post-production issues". Both were released on Digital Video Disc by Monster Pictures.
