A down-on-his-luck music producer stumbles upon a lost work of art that could change everything. But to win, he must surrender his notions of success and embrace the mystery and absurdity of life.

My latest project is shooting in a place Ive longed to spend time in since I moved to Texas 5 short years ago.  FAR MARFA, which shoots in, well, Marfa, TX stars Johnny Sneed as CARTER and myself as QUARRY.  Jesse Bernstein, also with my agency (The Atherton Group), will play a supporting role as DAVID (pronounced “Da-veed”).

There will definitely be more info to come as I continue on this journey.  Aside from dynamic filmmaking, I have a feeling there will be plenty of great conversation, biking around town and hopefully a bonfire or two in the desert!

Sam Doonby, is a happy-go-lucky drifter who takes up residence in a small Texas town but seems suspiciously immune to the misfortunes that beset the other townsfolk.

John Schneider, star of Doonby, talks about the film and his role on FOX News yesterday.  I played supporting role as “Lisa” in the feature.  Needless to say, this interview sparks my excitement for the film to be released!  (Im hoping mid-fall…?)

The link to the seven minute interview with John is here.  (The preview footage is at the beginning)

“The Alligator” is playing at the AFS SXSW Showcase. Its an Arts and Labor collaboration that combines animation with film footage.

March 13th, 12pm @ Hideout Theater

Watch the trailer: The Alligator, an Arts + Labor collaboration

The Alligator is a fun short film that incorporates animation with live action.  We shot this film in January 2009.  It is being submitted into the festival circuit so there is no clip to show just yet.  This film was a project instigated by the fabulous crew at Arts + Labor.  It was directed by Jeff Marrow of Pattern Productions and my co-stars were Nick Walker and Rowan Britton.  Nick plays a first date and Rowan is my daughter.  While on my first date, I introduce my daughter who is busy drawing pictures.  My date becomes engaged in these drawings to the point of neglecting our conversation and discussing the stories in the drawing instead.  Intercut are scenes from the drawings played out in action.  My date is ultimately outsmarted by my daughter and… i’ll leave the rest to surprise.
