The End (of 2011)

It is late December -"dead" time for film in Portland- and the annual worries about running out of money and having to find a "real" job are creeping in again. But that's the way this kind of work goes... you never know if and when you will see your next pay check, or for how much that will be. I've just got to ride this out and count on things picking back up here soon.

I cannot wait to say goodbye to this year. It has been an absolute blast, but I am looking forward to new adventures in 2012. The coming year is going to be one of transition, risk, opportunity, and new beginnings. There is already a lot on the horizon for 2012, which I will talk more about later. (By the way, Rid Of Me has had it's run at Living Room Theater extended AGAIN so if you're in Portland and haven't had a chance to see it yet, there is still time!)

I will leave you with the just released trailer for Lions Eat Their Own, which I am in... covered in blood and glow-paint. As mentioned in an earlier post, I was head butted pretty hard while on set but it makes a good story (that's not where the blood came from). The teaser trailer is only 50 seconds long so take a minute and check it out!

Lions Eat Their Own

Spent the last 3 nights in the woods filming the teaser trailer for a horror film. (See still above). Blood, torture, paint, and more! One shot is of me getting headbutted by Jack (played by KC Guyer), but while filming he slipped and got me for real. Ouch! When the trailer is cut I'll post it here.

48 Hour Film Festival (Yes Another!)

Recently I participated in another 48 Hour Film Festival, this time shooting with Anthony Statham and Anthony Lopez. Too many people worked on this to list. It was a fun, playful, and creative (not to mention hectic and stressful) shoot. The film is from the perspective of a hotel bathtub as it describes all the crazy stuff it has witnessed over the years. I play a punk who takes everything for granted and doesn't really care about anything. That's my interpretation at least. Anyway, here's the YouTube, enjoy!
