This is my own extremely small corner of the Internet where you can find imagery, news, and video associated with my life as an actor and all-around creative person. Thank you for coming!
I'm honored to report that CUT & RUN, an independent feature film I starred in back in 2021, just had its official premiere at the Transparent Film Festival here in NYC on June 14th, and CUT & RUN won FOUR awards...and I was awarded BEST ACTOR!
This was a huge honor, and mega thanks go to Brian McLane and the whole team at the Transparent Film Festival for supporting our film so ardently. CUT&RUN was also awarded Best Actress (Kristen Howard), Best Director (Steffan DelPiano) and BEST FILM!
This feature, written and directed by Steffan DelPiano, centers around an overextended family whose extra-legal strategies for surviving the economic hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic come back to haunt them.
This was one of the very first feature-length, larger-scale performances I'd ever gotten to do on film. Moreover, this movie has a wonderful script and is quite original; I'm very proud and lucky to have been a part of it.
CUT & RUN is now playing in rotation on the Transparent Film Festival's 24/7 streaming channel! Be sure to check the Guide after clicking on this link to see when CUT & RUN will next be playing. The next scheduled airing will be at 11:30 AM on Saturday, June 22nd!
Welp, that's a wrap on COME CLEAN, a full-length crime drama that I filmed in early May here in Brooklyn!
Written and directed by Nicholas M. Holmes, this dark, intense film centers on a young ne'r-do-well who dives deep into an underworld conspiracy to find his missing friend/girlfriend/dominatrix/dealer.
Our protagonist faces many obstacles on his journey, the largest and most violent of which will be played by me. I get fight choreography, a VERY distinctive look and an altogether unique, twisted character to explore.
This was an altogether bracing, weird and extremely rewarding adventure. Huge thanks go out to our awesome crew, including DP Jim Powers and the camera crew (Annie and Amy), Wray for all of the makeup magic, and our ADs Bianca and Siyu, among others!! Also, of course, huge thanks to Nick Holmes for writing and conceiving of this whole film which should look INSANE when it's finished with post-production, and of course, I was privileged to work with an amazing cast, including our two leads, Mojean Aria (Reminiscence and See) and Stef Dawson (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire)!
COME CLEAN is likely going to premiere some time in 2025.
