Wrapped on corporate training film 

I wrapped on my lead for a corporate training film on Friday. It was a 5 day shoot on some great locations throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. It was a pleasure working with the production team, director, client, cast and crew.

Wrapped on Designated Father 

Designated Father wrapped successfully after a 5 day shoot and 2 days travel to and from Livonia, NY, with a great cast and crew. I’m excited for it to enter post-production and eventually hit the film fest circuit. It’s a unique and fun short film. The director, crew and cast pulled off some difficult shots with numerous kids on set a few days plus a couple llamas.

Bedside Manners 

I read numerous roles in a new play, Bedside Manners, by Carrie Robbins, for an invited industry audience last night. Carrie is a two-time Tony-nominated costume designer who has recently been adapting her late husband’s non-fiction short stories into plays. Her most recent production of 2 one-acts at HERE Arts, Sawbones and The Diamond Eater, was nominated for 6 NYIT Awards and had 1 win.
