Having family all over the country definitely has it’s perks – especially when something I worked on is only running in a specific area. My folks received an email recently from a relative of ours in Oklahoma asking if I was in a Casino Commercial recently. And as a matter of fact – I was!
This was a really fun spot to work on – as we spent the entire afternoon at a blackjack table at the Riverwind Casino in good ole Norman, OK.
I had a really fun opportunity recently to shoot for the cover of Quick Entertainment. The issue was covering the Dallas International Film Festival, and I love nothing more than a good film festival!
I haven’t posted anything new in a long time – but that does not mean nothing has been going on. In fact – TONS of awesome stuff has been in the works lately, including the Dallywood pilot almost being finished! We’re hoping to arrange for a screening of that very soon. In addition to this – we’re in development on a feature length film that I wrote. It’s still in the early stages of development, but hopefully I’ll be able to share more regarding this project here soon!
On the acting front – I recently had the chance to work with an awesome local production company on a Honda commercial that currently airing. And here that is…
Happy Holidays, good people!
This past week, I was treated to a screening of a film I worked on not too long ago called Zero One. I had seen some rough footage, but still couldn’t tell what the finished film was going to look like. After seeing a finished version – I have to say, everyone involved did an amazing job! The film far exceeded my expectations and I hope this smart piece of Indie cinema gets the exposure it deserves. Cheers to writer/director Kareem Gray for all of his efforts. Here’s the trailer for the film…
In a related note, the filmmaker is currently raising funds to help cover the costs of submitting the film to festivals around the country. This can be a very expensive process, especially once you factor in the travel and marketing expenses that a filmmaker incurs just to support something like this. If you’d like to support independent film, a great filmmaker and a wonderful film – check out Zero One’s IndieGoGo Page.
I had a great time shooting this recent Lane Furniture spot with my Dallywood cohort, Bryan Massey. Enjoy!
Hey all!
I’m very happy to announce that we are officially in Production on a TV pilot based on the Dallywood web series. We started shooting on Friday the 12th and we should be wrapped by this coming Friday (the 19th). The Dallywood team of Drew Rist (director), Bryan Massey (lead actor), Kirk Edwards (sound guru) and myself are very excited to be upping the ante with this pilot. We’ve received some early press on the pilot that I’d like to share:

We’ve also shot a couple of Promo Teasers for the pilot:
I’m very excited to announce that two commercials I’ve recently worked on have won some pretty cool awards!
First off, a promotional commercial I worked on for the TV show Wedlock or Deadlock won a Lone Star Emmy award! Here’s a link to the AWARDS PAGE.
And second, a Geico commercial I did for the National Geographic Channel won two PromaxBDA awards in Los Angeles this past July. We won a Gold for “Best Consumer Tie-in”, and most importantly we won a Silver for “Funniest Promo”.
I’m very honored to have been honored!
I recently worked on this JCPenney spot which spoofs the famous Capital One commercials.
The commercial also features the very talented Stephanie Young & Melissa Odom.
