This Is Getting Out Of Hand...

I made a promise to myself that if I were to make a blog on this site, that I would promise to maintain it...

Well obviously that fell through already.

Last week, I was crazy busy settling down after finishing The Vagina Monologues at UMSL, and I found time to work more on the OPTION//CONTROL video for "Saw Her There."

Which, by the way, is coming out on Friday, April 15th!

Myself and the band will be celebrating with a big video release party at The Oz Nightclub in Sauget, Illinois. More info ASAP. In the meantime, make sure ou check out the teaser trailer above.

In other news, I just finished writing two short film scrips, one of which will be going into production next month! I'm not going to give away too much, but let's just say it's a look at the "home life" of my favorite superhero.

More on that soon, I have to go buy Cee-Lo tickets!

Any One Of Us: V-Day 2011

Tonight was the first performance of "Any One Of Us" by Even Ensler at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis' Pilot House. The play, one of the Vagina Monologues, was for V-Day 2011 (a worldwide festival raising money to support women everywhere).

I have never dabbled in stage directing before, but when I was offered the opportunity back in November, I could not turn it down. I see theatrical directing as the proper stepping stone to film directing, as the stage play is the origin for the on-screen movie. For this production, I was blessed to be paired up a co-director, Ashley Alcamo, who I absolutely could not have done this without. Even though this is both our first time directing for theatre, she has brought so much knowledge and attention to detail to the table that I have been truly inspired for my future projects.

I will probably post more after tomorrow's performance, but a big "thank you" goes out to all the women who came and auditioned and dedicated their own time to make this thing happen in just three short weeks!

"Home" Is Now Online!

I'm really excited to announce that "Home," my silent film project for UMSL, is now streaming online at YouTube and Vimeo!

I have the day off of work today and I am planning on spending every minute of it working on the OPTION//CONTROL video for "Saw Her There." From the small clips that I have already put together, it is promising to be an awesome music video!

Also, we are one week away from my stage directorial debut! The Vagina Monologues: "Any One of Us" will be performed next Thursday and Friday (March 10th and 11th) at the University of Missouri-Saint Louis Pilot House (inside of the Millennium Student Center).
