I will be working with Hal Hartley on his next film Where To Land and very excited for this opportunity. Click on the picture to see Hal's work and rent one of his films to feel the fabric of American independent cinema.

The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services "RealCost" anti-vaping spot I performed the voiceover for focusing on young football players has exceeded an astounding 15 million views and is one of the five Instagram Highlights on the RealCost Instagram page. I'd like to thank the folks over at FCB (Foote, Cone & Belding) once again for hiring me out of an initial three hundred performers.

The difficulties of making a film, which entails writing it well, actually shooting it, casting it effectively and hoping people will show up, locations won't dump and so on, are beyond understanding. Never mind post-production. Nearly all elements require judicious custom-tailoring. I want to bring attention to an old collaborator of mine who has written and directed the fabulous indie film Unidentified Objects. It's a well-worked one hundred minutes. It's the kind of film that demands good casting in order to fly. It's important for a number of reasons. I'll leave the themes to its audience. Suffice it to say, it shows how effective fundamental bare-bones filmmaking can be during a pandemic, when the choice was made to cut through the carousel of life's nonsense we're typically strapped to. I'm very proud of Juan Felipe Zuleta for his sincerity and effort to bring this film to life. Click here for all relevant links.
