LIE DETECTIN'

VIRTUAL PNCanity
*** My new spot for PNC is on TV and the interwebs. If you haven't caught it yet, feast your eyes here!
SPOTS
*** I recently completed shooting a couple of commercials that should begin playing sometime in the next few months. Can't really say what they're for, but think money and round food. Not together. Seperate. I'll keep you posted.
MEET CLIFF
*** I'm currently in the thick of editing my new short film 'Cliff'. I should be finished tinkering around with it by March for a Spring premier. In the meantime, go to the official 'Cliff' site at CliffMovie.com. We'll be posting updates, trailers, and other goodies as they're made available.
LIE DETECTOR
*** After touring the festival circuit for six months, I am finally able to share with you the short film that I co-produced and directed earlier this year. Ladies and gentlemen please enjoy- Lie Detector!
HAPPY CHRISMUKKAH!
*** Happy holidays! The fall has been full of wonderful happenings and projects. Chiefly, I co-wrote and directed a new dark comedy short entitled Cliff with my good friend and fellow Sitcoms Blow-er, Dave Shalansky. We wrapped the four day production mid-November and editing will begin shortly. It was an incredbly successful venture and I can't wait to share the finish film with all of you. We anticipate a February release date, so please keep checking back for more updates.
Outside of the directing world, the Shelter Pet Project PSA that I completed a few months back began playing on television this past week, so keep your eyes peeled! Take a look at the finish spot here.
I hope everyone has a beautiful and restful holiday season! Enjoy!
