Fun News
It’s Been Awhile. My movie, Tantrum, now titled, “Rise of the Dead” is going to be released by Lions Gate on 11/13/2007. Visit MoviesUnlimited.com today for your copy of “Rise Of The Dead [DVD]“. I am Laura Child’s boyfriend, Jack. The DVD cover looks surprisingly like me, but who knows..???
I went to Austin, TX and San Antonio earlier this week and filmed ‘Intervention’ a short film about motivation and moving on after a loss. It was filmed by DP, Phil Curry, who was an older man with a white cowboy hat and a long graying hair. He was like a silent warrior. In addition, the other crew members were amazing. My castmate and writer, director, Michael Lange did a great job juggling every ball in the air. www.doublethinkproductions.tv for more information. We are definitely going places with this film. Christopher Viltz took some still photos, please visit http://www.flickr.com/photos/viltzphoto/show/with/1454506452/. Our last short film was in the Austin Film Festival. See pic from ‘Intervention’ of me as Collin.
Also, this past weekend I shot the pilot episode of 5 to 6, www.fivetosix.com. It went great, there was a great cast and crew and we shot in Montclair, NJ. The dailies were fabulous, I am looking forward to finishing the rest of the webisodes. The pilot should be up shortly. I have a drunk scene, hungover scene, party scene and there should be some behind (the) scenes, ha ha.
I just was cast in another webisode, Murphy and Young, written by Tim Sheard (http://www.timsheard.com/). He is a crime novelist and is bringing his writings to the info superhighway. I am a NYPD detective who was involved in 9/11 and is suffering from lung problems. Me and my partner are very Law & Orderesque. I will be performing video blog’s as Agent Charlie Young. This will give me an opportunity to pay tribute to a close personal friend and old policeman, Jimmy McMann who was involved in the catastrophy at St. Patricks’s Cathedral. I am very excited about this role.
My other film, 2 Star State of Mind, has 2 days left to shoot. We are winding down production and it looks great. It is a great script and the shots look wonderful. I am ready for the completion, visit www.myspace.com/twostarstateofmind for more details.
Today I pitched several ideas of mine to a close friends’ girlfriend, Kristen, who works at CBS. I created programming shows, some of which were innovative, and others were spins of other shows. Nonetheless, (is that one word??) they have been sent out and I am awaiting a response to do and pitch them to their developmental team.
In addition, I am in the process of creating my own webseries to be shot in my basement apartment. I live in a wood paneled basement and my idea is circa 70’s and will push a few buttons. I will be shooting with a wonderful actress named, Amy Highfill, www.myspace.com/amyhighfill . We are in preproduction and planning on collaborating with Houston Street Productions.
This Saturday, October 6th, I will be performing at the UCB Theater as part of my training of long form improvisation. After I complete this, I am hopefully going to enroll in a sketch writing class to learn UCB’s take on how its done. My performance will be 26th St and 8th Ave in Manhattan at 4pm. See you there.
Well, that’s enough info for you now. My niece and nephew turned 1 on 9/23, the same day as my mom’s birthday. We had a big party with all my family and it was splendifourous fun. Signing off yall!
