"And The Call It Puppy Love" Film Wrapped
Back in November of 2010 I was cast in the film "And They Call It Puppy Love" as one of the leads friends, "Brent". I finally filmed my scenes this past February. This film should be out soon.
Finished work on the documentary "For Billy"
Recently I was approached by a friend to audition to play a role in one of her friend's documentaries. So I did and landed the role! I was going to be a part of the "What Would You Do?" portion of the film where I played the film maker's boyfriend. We went to one of the big malls here in IL and walked around holding hands, looking at rings and actins as any in love couple would do except we were two men. The point of that portion of the film was to see how much homophobia is still alive and well in America. The reason for the documentary in response to a letter/email the director got to his film he submitted for the "It Gets Better Project" www.itgetsbetter.org . The project was basically set up in the light of the recent growth of teen suicides due to bulling and homophobia. The director is from Wheaton,IL and states that "things do get better after highschool" but received this letter/email from "Billy" stating "I'm glad things got better for you but I dont think they will for me". "Billy" was also from Wheaton, IL. So the director traveled back to his old highschool and town to see if things had changed at all since he was gay and coming out. He found they have not. I was very glad to be part of such an important film. For more information you can go to: http://forbillythemovie.com .
"Alice In Wonderland" and "The Importance of Being Ernest" at Circle
Recently I just finished work on costumes for Circle Theatre's production of "Alice in Wonderland" and wow was that a feat! I think I did a good job with my limited budget and more then 40 kids to costume! My concept was a more modern dark "Alice" like the recent version done by Disney with Johnny Depp. I will post pictures of some of the costumes when I get a chance. Next up is I just started work on the costumes for "The Importance of Being Ernest" set to open in a couple months.
