Film Production
Oversight - Short
I had a blast working with students from the Atlanta Institute of Art making a short video, Oversight, playing many scenes with Brent Brooks, who wrote and directed No Experience Necessary last year. It's a short parable with God, Archangels and me almost dying multiple times. This will be an entry for the the Campus Movie Fest. Written by John Prescott produced by Team Trigger Happy in association with Blank Stage Studios and Charisma Casting. Looking fordward to working with Brent and Karlie Brooks again, for the first time since last year too.

Post Production
Several film projects from last year are hiding in a black hole of post production. I'm still waiting anxiously on three feature-length films, a documentary, a music video, and two shorts. At least there is a trailer now for one of the features, Three Sisters, but I am waiting for final cuts of me playing:
- A malevolent director with casting issues No Experience Necessary
- The albino hick in a mythological suspense thriller Evolution Creek
- A demon fighter in an 1806 horror scene in Demonicas Reign, and
- A sadistic psychopath Trader Jack in modern-day suburbia.
Producers have been eerily quiet so a couple of these projects might have died on the vine. Sigh. Hopefully, at least a couple will make it out of post and hit the festival circuit this year.
Pre Production
Final Etiquette - Short Film
On the 26th I found out I got cast in a Final Etiquette is a low-budget dramatic short about a double-crossed hit-man who retires in an unusual way. I play the guy who hired and double-crossed him. Expecting a weekend shoot in February complete with blood effects. Woot.
