The (E)State of things
Garth from ‘The Estate’ I just finished working on a play written by Drama Desk Award winner, Ray Aranha, called “The Estate”. My role was one of a racist Maryland farmer that torments the main character, Benjamin Banneker, a black genius befriended by Thomas Jefferson. I was basically the murderer in more ways than one. It was a wonderful cast and received some great reviews. We were performing mainly in CT. Here is a write up: http://www.connpost.com/columnists/ci_7484693
In addition, I am no longer working on a project ‘Five to Six’. We couldn’t agree on some things, but I still think they are a wonderful production and the director, Rain Evans is an artistic genius. I did briefly make the cut on their first episode, walking down the stairs and partying around the pool table. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVRfNAufAkY
In addition, my film Intervention, produced by Double Think Productions is being screened in Texas. I will be flying down to Austin for the premiere at the new Alamo Drafthouse on Dec 15th and another screening in San Antonio on Sunday, the 16th. Arthur Yoria, who also did the film’s soundtrack, will be performing on Sunday. Take a look at the trailer at http://www.doublethinkproductions.tv/projects.html
My other feature film is being edited, ‘2 Star State of Mind’ and should be done by January 1st. It is looking nice and should definitely be distributed upon completion. More to come later.
My Lionsgate film release, ‘Rise of the Dead’ is being reviewed and can now be rented anywhere in the US. Here’s a positive review from Fangoria: http://www.fangoria.com/ghastly_review.php?id=5573 . Here’s a negative movie and positive cast review from Cult film fans: http://cultdb.blogspot.com/2007/11/rise-of-dead-2007.html .
Going forward, I have been writing extensively and creating a feature based on my aunt’s ex-boyfriend, Jimmy McMann, a retired NYPD officer and will be penning that continously until I can complete it. I have also been doing podcast recordings for the Philadelphia Eagles, as unsuccessful as they have been. www.eaglespodcasts.com
