Filming this last week and the next few weeks:

1.) “Threats & Confessions” I am the yet to be named “Mob Boss”. The conflict / story is that “Steve” the son of the “Mob Boss” wants to leave the business, get married and live happily ever after. Needless to say, daddy is not real excited about that. You may already know this, but let’s just say gangsters are not real nice folk, even with “family” and I’ll leave it at that.

I filmed my part last Thursday and Friday night’s. This is a short film for some students at BYU and the way I understand it, it will be used by several of the students for different types of projects. They are also planning on submitting it to upcoming festivals. They found me on the internet by “google-ing” me. They found me on my myspace and here. Cool!

2.) “Where There's a Will, There's an Ape” This is a Sam Potter film. I worked with Sam over a year ago when he was the cinematographer on a project called “Graveyard Shift” I was the angry boss in that one.

Well he posted am audition call on “Craigslist” or the “Wasatch Film Group” and I responded with a copy of my resume and headshot. He recognized me, said he remembered me and gave me the part without an audition. Cool!

I play a small part in a bus station as a guy minding my own business waiting for my bus. Then the main nut job comes over to chat, and it goes from there. Lots of fun!

3.) Next up is an untitled “Dave Christenson” film. This one we’ll film my part this coming Sunday. I play a homeless man who is kind of nuts! It sounds like fun and is so far out of ‘who’ I am, that it may be a bit of a challenge, but I’m up for it!

Looking at the rest of the cast, I see there are lots of folks I have gotten to play with before, so I am excited to be a part of this one. I see that Niki Nelson is in this too. Her and I have been in several of the same projects but have only worked at the same time once. Other projects I find out about on her page, or in the opening credits of something. We did do one scene together where she killed me. OK, so, really, she brutally stabbed me to death after I was hit by a car…Cool! Hey she is also up for "Actress of The Month" vote for her today, & everyday in July!

4.) “2nd Thought” a James Cawley film. Is being produced by “In The Dark Studios” up in Logan. James sent me a very nice and flattering email asking me to be the main character in the film, and then he sent me the script. He and “In The Dark” have several projects going on and it was nice he thought of me for the part.

Well I read the script, and other than some voice over by my “Boss”, I am the only one in the cast. Pretty cool! Well the story is about a guy who has lost everything and is at the end. He is an alcoholic, depressed, he feels worthless and hopeless. It is a sad story, but … I do have some dialogue but most of the film is going to be me ‘re-acting’ to everything in my world. The challenge will be me being believable. I’ve seen people try to do this type of thing and not too many of them are too very convincing, so I hope for James and myself that I am good enough to pull it off.
