Remaining Independent!

Labor Day Weekend was spent laboring!  I worked with my good friend and fellow filmmaker, Matthew Mandarano on his independent short film "Beyond the Door."  Based on a story by Phillip K. Dick, Matt wrote, produced and directed; I co-produced and served as the 1st AD on set.  With a talented crew and cast, including DP Jeff Stepp, and actors Lisa Sain Odom, Reid Dalton and Elijah Chester.  While it was some long, hard days, we got some wonderful footage, and I look forward to a great film!

I then turned right around to work with independent filmmaker Justin Kuhn on his feature film eXploder.  I played a humanoid robot bent on killing, so really it was type-casting...  After a substantial body-count, I finally got blasted by a "lightning gun."  For the shot, I covered myself with fireplace ash and set my shirt on fire.  The last take went a little long, and my chest is now short a few hairs...  Ah, the sacrifice we make for art.

I look forward to a quiet week ahead, focusing on my MFA studies at Hollins University and screenplays I'm writing.

Make good films, everyone!
