Spirit Lake: First Shoot

I will be participating as an actor in an upcomming feature film by Joe Shakula or BibSimmons called "Spirit Lake." I am just hoping that I don't freeze my bones, it's quite cold today. For more information on the production visit the official website at:http://spiritlakemovie.com/

Aono Trailer

I am in the new Matt Wichlacz short film [AONO] premiering this March 2009. I enjoyed the production and I was happy to get cast in a speaking role, and such an interesting film.

My First Impressions of AONO


Last year I performed a supporting role in the Matt Wichlacz short film Aono. When I previewed the rough cut at Ma Fischer's in Milwaukee, it was 7:40pm and I was interested to see what this movie might look like. I had my doubts, after all the director was still in highschool during production, he had very little film experience, and had just purchased the video equipment for the film. The filming was as professional as a film with a $2000 budget could be,including some catering; french fries and coffee. Well when I started watching the film I was impressed with the look and feel-the entire project is in black and white, a fitting color for a Milaukee short. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say, stay tuned for the movie premier which is set for sometime in March. Thanks to everyone who was involved,it's great to be part of a project that exhibits the importance of characters and story over stale drama and action sequences.
