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!
I’ve only seen three clips and already this project looks really great! Directed by J.J. Castillo of Jose Jones Films, “Collecting Things” is about a lonely man who’s solitude gets misconstrued and eventually, set-up by the masters of manipulation. Starring myself and Ben Bouillon, the project is in production and should be released very soon! Meanwhile, here are some screenshots from the raw footage.

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.
lights, camera, wha?
