Weltschmerz
This film is near and dear to my heart, because it involved quite a lot of passion, and compassion from everyone involved. As sensitive as the issue of Germany in the 1940's was, it was a huge challenge to play the other side of the story: a Nazi soldier. Stepping into the head of this character was one of the most difficult challenges I've had to face as an actor. Loving Johann Richter was a very disheartening process, but that's something that we have to do. We have to fall in love with the humans we play, even if they are horrific people.
This film can finally be viewed on www.filmshortage.com!

California Godfather
I am so happy to a part of a sketch comedy troupe called onewordnocaps! We write all of our own stuff, and are now into Season 4. I joined in Season 3 and couldn't be happier in maintaining my creativity through comedy, so that I can balance out the crap load of dramatic stuff that I do haha.
This sketch parodies The Godfather, which adds in a bit of an issue we always have here in California...

Recently made its world premiere in the Riverside Saginaw Film Festival in Michigan on November 6, 2010!
Short Synopsis:
While waiting for a connecting flight, Krista plays games with her former lover, Glenn.
PATIENT ZERO
Sean McCarthy wakes up from a haunting dream to discover a mysterious pair of doctors in his apartment. They tell him that an aerosol device planted by terrorists infected him with a deadly virus while he was taking the New York City subway system to see a play starring his girlfriend, Megan. They do not believe that Sean will live very much longer. As they treat him nonetheless, Sean loses consciousness and drifts between reality and the dream-like memories of his last encounter with Megan, their conversations mixing with the words he overhears from the doctors. When a security guard accidentally informs Sean that the disease is spreading in the general populace, he decides to break out and make sure Megan is unharmed. But the virus may have weakened him too much to be able to make his escape.
