A few weeks ago I submitted myself to casting notice for a short film that would be submitted to Ridley Scott’s YouTube film festival. I was asked to create an emotional monologue and send to producers via a link to my performance. That week my friend and fellow actor, Andrew O’Haggin and I filmed this scene below. I finished editing yesterday, and sent to the producers for consideration for a role in their film. Standing by….
This is how I was invited to this gloriously glamorous evening. I directed & edited a few promotional trailers for Gary Shusett’s www.SherwoodOaksCollege.com with him & Christine Owens.
When I first arrived in the Grand Ballroom entry way, there was an attendant checking coats. I had mine over my left arm as I entered, you never know when you’ll get a chill…so I kept it with me. There were many servers strolling thru the crowd carrying silver trays of cocktails, some with flutes of champagne & others with pineapple vodka concoctions in a short V shaped glass. I chose a champagne flute & mingled with the beautiful guests.
The doors opened to begin seating guests at their assigned tables. My table was 109, and we had a group of ten seated together. In the photo’s in the gallery above, I’m seated with Director Marty Elcan & Writer Randy Carr. Before anyone took to their seats people began circulating the grand room and introducing eachother.
Randy Carr was such a gentleman for accompanying me thru this crowd of accomplished players presenting me to; the mesmerizing Jean Dujardin, star of THE ARTIST, and this years recipient of a Golden Globe for Comedy/Musical and a SAG Best Actor Award, and then to the enchanting & cajoling George Clooney, he needs no introduction, who also received a Golden Globe this year for his dramatic performance in THE DESCENDANTS. Jean Dujardin was extremely charming, spoke English very well, and had a translator nearby just in case. George Clooney was so warm and such a delight to meet, I told him I hope to work with him in the future, and shook his hand goodbye since we were being alerted the awards show was about to begin. . .
More to come…videos of some of the awards to share, and meeting Producer Harvey Weinstein, Director Alexander Payne, and Actor & Host of the DGA Awards Kelsey Grammer.

TRES in 3 ORBS OF LIGHT
In the year 2020, three powerful orbs of energy “mental, physical, and spiritual” were the main sources of existence for the planet earth. They not only supplied power but also kept the human energy forces balanced and aligned. The location of the orbs were a common mystery.
Legend has it that a powerful warrior woman known as Rouge was the true protector and had been protecting the orbs since their conception. She was a folklore to many but to those who knew and depended on her,
she was a loyal and fearless defender of good. Times are dark on the planet and a group of rebels have formed to end the earth as we know it. Their mission is to find and control the Orbs for themselves, disturbing the balance between good and evil once and for all in order to achieve total dominance over the world. But first they must find the orbs and conquer Rouge and her fellow brothers and sisters of light. Known to the people as the Protectors.
