Black Trailer

Cool! There's a trailer up for "Black" the upcoming film by J. Starr Welty that I and my wife both had parts in.

Correction: I do appear in the trailer, I must have blinked the first time I watched it. I also show up in a few of the still images at the Black myspace page. My part is fairly small, but meaty despite the brevity - the character has serious conflicts and emotion. 5 scenes, with significant dialog in 4 of them. Tons of fun to act and film. Sarah's role is similar in being brief but weighty. You can hear her, but not see her, in the trailer.

Man, I can't wait till the debut - the film is going to be awesome. I want to say more - there's a few dozen half-written blog entries waiting to be unleashed upon the world - but I'm ethically prohibited from spoiling the plot. You'll just have to wait for this fall.

That movie I was in

While "James Bondage 006.9 in A View To A Clone 2: In The Mouth Of Cloneness" was an instant classic that took far too many weekends to film,
...I'm happy to say it wasn't actually the biggest production I've ever been involved in.

That would be Black, coming soon to a theatre near... well, at least a theatre in Albuquerque, but I hope it'll get picked up for wider distribution.

I played the part of Sy. Sy is a very conflicted grad-student working for a mad scientist. Since I was very unhappy at my job at the time the movie was filmed, it was all too easy to get into character. The dailies I saw were, to toot my own horn, damnably awesome.

My lovely wife was also featured in the film. She played Nerissa, a character in the other reality. Saying that much is a tease, but to say more might be revealing too much.
