Fairies had it’s world premiere today in Nice, France, at the St. Tropez International Film Festival. Kat and Crystal cruised the venue wearing wings and bearing wands, and by the time they were done filled the room. They also popped popcorn – real popcorn on the stove top – making Fairies the ONLY film at the festival to provide the movie staple.

I will be playing Voice #2, Curly Bevan, Waldo and Young Waldo in the Stegasaurus Theatre Collective’s production of Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood this Thursday through Saturday in the theater space at Joria Productions on 36th Street. Admission is pay what you like. This staging is being done as a radio play, with foley effects, includes a wonderfully talented range of voices, and should be a lot of fun.

The Convict world premiere at the New Hampshire Film Festival

The Convict played to a packed house at its world premiere on Thursday, October 16 in Portsmouth, NH. Director Mark Battle and I participated in a Q&A afterwards with lots of audience participation and some excellent questions. We even got to catch the documentary feature Slingshot, about inventor Dean Kamen. I recommend it highly. A terrific, inspiring film and someone who is doing a lot of good in the world.
