Based on Actual Events Trailer

leave a comment »

I worked on a flick this summer called Based on Actual Events and I had a blast making it. It was by far one of the most exciting times I’ve ever had on set. I got to work with some great industry professionals (Mark Leblanc, Matt Champagne), talented actors (Amy Wickenheiser, Heather Westwood, Thomas Johnson), and some rowdy Canadians that worked their asses off (Serena & Manny Whitney). The flick was written by Serena Whitney, lensed by Matt Champagne, and directed by yours truly. So without wasting anymore time, please check out the trailer below and then share it with your friends.

I’m a NERD! (Project Announcement)

leave a comment »

nerdI’ve been pondering what I’m going to do next, and while waiting for a documentary project to pan out another project came to fruition. This project is by far one of the most fun ideas I’ve ever had the pleasure of working on, and I’m hoping to bring in some of my favorite actors and crew members to help Amy and I realize our vision. That’s right folks, I said Amy and I.  I’m not gonna fly solo on this project, I’m gonna be directing it with actress/budding director Amy Wickenheiser. She was the lead in two of the last projects I’ve worked on (Red Hours, Based on Actual Events), is an avid film lover and knows her way around a set. All I can say about the project is that it is tentatively titled NERDS and Amy Wickenheiser, Matt Champagne, and myself will be involved. So in the next few months as the project develops I’ll be posting news, pics, and other info right here on my humble little blog.

It’s always nice to have support when you make a film, and I’m sure I’m speaking for Zach and Jeremy as well when I say that I appreciate everyone that has been supporting us.

Thanks again,

Based On Actual Events

leave a comment »

6290_1234424863291_1309286268_30720541_6638687_nIn August I got to work on a short film with an amazing crew, and a unique story. That film is Based On Actual Events and it was written by the talented Serena Whitney. Along with a group of gifted actors and crew members we worked for four days to shoot this flick, and we had a blast. I’ll be posting news about the project which just entered post production, here as it progresses. It is rare that I get a chance to shoot a film with such an awesome crew and get to have such a great time shooting, so I am looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labor when finished. Check back for updates, I’ll be posting a lot more in the coming weeks (I know I should update more, but I’m busy people).
