Jim Ellis TV Commercial

Rough-cuts of a couple RSS Epidemic TV commercials I did in last month are now on-line. They are part of a fun, over-the-top series of 30-second spots that should air this Spring.

Feb 17th: The Fellini-esque short video Modern Appetite, in which I play a man with an eating fetish, is screening at the Plaza Theatre as part of WonderRoot's 4th Local Filmmakers Night, 9:30 PM. Only $6 and the proceeds go to help and encourage participants to submit their films to festivals and to cultivate a thriving independent filmmaking scene in Atlanta.

Also, another short I am in, If I Am Your Mirror, will have its trailer screen at The Plaza on the 17th as part of the Wonderoot lineup.

Moving on, I'll be a project manager with the folks over at Definition6 executing the more technical components of integrated marketing campaigns. I'm looking forward to working in a business where I can leverage my entertainment experience -- as theatre manager, talent agent, and actor -- with my technical and corporate background.

This month I bid a fond farewell to Relapse Theatre after more than five years as a main-stage performer, and almost three years as general manager, web master, and booking agent. I am thankful for all the people I met, for the hundreds of shows I performed, and for the lessons I learned. It was a great ride.
