Here is an update of things going on with me:

Monday the 21st, and Tuesday the 22nd, the “48 Hour Project” is showing all the entries again, at both the “Tower” theater and over at “Brewvies” – The one that I am in is called "The Stone Talice" and it will be shown at “Brewvies” on Tuesday at the 7:00 show. Check the 48 Hour website for the theater addresses, the show times, and any other info: http://www.48hourfilm.com/saltlakecity

Last Wednesday afternoon May 2nd, we filmed my part for a TV Pilot called “Perfect”. I am the boss, or lead detective who pairs up the rookie with the more experienced cop. And “it’s NOT an option it’s more like an order…”


This past Friday the 4th, I played the part of Dr. Bill Pepper in a feature film called “Turn Around” that they are planning to have complete and ready for distribution sometime later this year, maybe as soon as August or September. I was the ER doctor who gets to defibrillate one of the main actors. This one is geared toward the LDS & Christian markets.


This next one is not really geared towards the LDS & Christian markets. Sunday I auditioned to be the “Emcee” for a “Burlesque” type of show that performs once or twice a month in downtown SLC. Think “Moulin Rouge” or “Cabaret” Salt Lake City style. Sundyn, a lovely young lady from my acting class is one of the “Slippery Kittens”, and the one who told me about the auditions.

They called me on Wednesday and told me that it was between me and another guy. Now since neither he nor I had ever actually been to the show, they want us to come on the 19th and split the show, he does half and I do the other half or something like that.

Then they, along with audience feedback, I guess, will determine who gets the gig. It should be lots of fun, and if you would like to come support me just shoot me an email and I’ll send you the details, or you can go to: http://www.myspace.com/slipperykittens

We filmed the Wedding scene on Sunday afternoon for David Christensen’s film called “True Love”. Anna was in it too as the disinterested daughter watching her sister get married.

Next, I got a call last Thursday from Tony Henrichsen telling me that he had reworked (edited) his “On The Lot” film submission called “The Gilded Scarab” and wanted to send me the new copy. I can’t wait to see it, he is mailing it.

Topher Mehlhoff, who wrote and filmed the short film “NightBat” sent me an email letting me know he was done with it and he too was going to send me a copy of the finished product.

Daniel Letz, who I worked with over a year ago on a film called “Graveyard Shift”, where I play the boss of the main character, is also complete. I should get my copy in the next week or so.

Lastly, Josh Samson, who I’ve done quite a few projects with is burning me a copy of those films too.

I think that it’s pretty cool that stuff I did a while back, and even more recently, I’ll soon have a copy of to view and share.

And speaking of Josh, he was the camera operator for an audition I did on Monday up at the U. I still haven’t herd back on that one and I don’t know how soon they were going to actually cast the film.

Saturday, tomorrow is the table read for “Manifesto” a Will Cohen full length feature film. It stars Will, and Niki Nielsen - take a look at her blog. The film she was part of for the "48 Hour Project" called "Boggled" won an award or two. You can also see it on Monday or Tuesday too, see above, this girl is going places. Niki and I have been in several films together, one, an Amy Bronson film called "Backstroke", and will be screened at the "Damn These Heels" festival in SLC at Brewvies on June 1st.

Manifesto also stars Melody Sain, she is a star who is also on her way up, I just don't have links to her stuff, along with Mr. Randall Malin a great actor whom I am often up against in auditions, Michael Risk from Craze, he too is a very talented and busy guy, plus so many other excellent local talent. I have worked with a lot of the crew, and they are as good as it gets too.

I have a pretty decent size part in this one. I am the main characters boss. My name is “Richard” and I am one of only a few who don’t get killed.

So there you go, that’s my update! I have been busy and I will have a busy next few months. I love it! More of these are paying too, not a ton, but enough to pay for my classes and gas anyway.
