shh.. don't tell. Tom Lagleder and I chill in the jacuzzi while Jenn Gotzon and John Schneider chat about the scene. We're working... honest!
More photos from “Doonby”!
Doonby is a $2M feature shot in Smithville, TX. We shot the ‘jacuzzi scene’ from 7pm to 7am. My main scene (with John Schneider) shot around 6:00am after being up all night, but it was no big deal since I had such fun company and great talent surrounding me.
I anticipate the film to be completed by mid-fall 2010. I look forward to revisiting this project at the premiere!

Late last year, I was fortunate to be asked to act in Laura Wallgren’s music video for the song “Get Some Rest” by Transfer. Transfer is a rockin up and coming band out of San Diego. They composed the music for our investment pitch film last year, El Coyote, and are interested in composing music for our next feature film, Lucifer’s Bounty. What an amazing day with an amazing cast and crew that Laura put together. It was wonderful to work with actors Roze Fromsalt and Rocio Garza, who starred in El Coyote together with myself as 1st AD. I completely appreciate my production experience, though now that im focused on acting and writing, its refreshing to hang out with the crew and cast without a million production aspects in the back of my brain.
Here are some pics from the day o’ being saved and then walking into a river to our deaths. Good times, indeed!

Myself, Jeff Marrow and Nick Walker discuss a scene
“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.
lights, camera, wha?
