A new reel I put together with some recent work. Had a couple projects finalize edits and are currently making the rounds. Always exciting to see something come together – and can’t wait to see what happens next. Great teams behind all of the projects.

New Reel
Well, we could all use a little laugh. I had a SAG workshop online and they had us do a self tape to send in to the casting director. Rather than send an old tape, or even worse, ask a friend to come over and help, I did it myself (at home) and facetimed with a friend who read remotely. Safety first, right?
It’s a fun two-minute scene and usually I would never post a self tape that isn’t professionally done, but hopefully we can let it slide during this time and enjoy content over production/sound quality… even though I admit the facetime reading seemed to work pretty well.
Anyways – if you have two minutes – check this little scene out.
Sometimes you have to make your own luck. Recently I sent out a slew of postcards to casting directors, and if by some chance you are one of those CD’s, and you’re actually here… well, thank you. This is a saturated business when it comes to actors so I hope my postcard brought a little humor to your day. And if you’re just here passing by – drop me a line – I love hand writing letters and cards. I’m still pen-pals with my Grandma!
Anyways, those postcards were a quick intro to me. Perhaps it will help, perhaps they’ll end up in the trash, or maybe they’ll become your coaster for the day to protect your table from the iced red eye from Starbucks. Nonetheless, I keep the hopes held high.
2018 has been a great year as I have finished work on a feature, 4 short films, 2 commercials, and one music video for Vance Joy. The thing I am lacking is TV credits, so that is the goal for this year. I look forward to asking, “Do you want fries with that?” on TV versus in real life. That’s when you know you’ve made it, right? Life imitating art… as long as we can find some humor and joy in the things we do and pursue, then we’re doing okay… Hope to hear from you soon. Whoever you are.
