My (Writer-Director-Co-Producer-Casting) short film "High Casting" (with Sarah Velez, David Stupin, JoAnne Tucker, Lorena Fdz. Carrillo, and Sarah Lonsert) debuted December 12, 2010 at a showcase for short films. It's about a young actress, eager for a speaking role in a film, who goes to a call back audition and discovers she's dealing with an unethical casting director and a sleazy producer. Out of over 30 films, we won the Audience Favorite Film award.
We're currently in pre-production on my short film "Something Unsaid." It's about a couple, each of whom has a secret from the other. We'll shoot it, hopefully, in July.
Auditions will be held in late May or June. The first round will put you into the book for all future roles in all future projects we cast. Specific call backs for "Something Unsaid" will follow shortly after. If you're interested in auditioning, send your headshot and resume to nmcastingcall@gmail.com right away.
If you're interested in a crew position in any future project, send your crew resume to nmcrewcall@gmail.com.
I recently found a play that I'd like to adapt as a screenplay. That will be a first for me if I get the rights.
Also a first for me, I've begun writing a screenplay with another screenwriter-filmmaker.
I'm at some point in developing over 50 feature films, short films, webisodes, and TV series. I never lack for ideas.
You can see me in these movies available on DVD: "Comanche Moon", "Into the West", "The Lost Room", "Save Me", "Bordertown", "Shoot First and Pray You Live", and "Naked Fear". I'm in others, but those are the ones I'm really visible in. I didn't have speaking roles in any of them, though.
I was a founding member of the Santa Fe Actors Cooperative Workshop, a workshop for adult (18 and over) professional actors to assist each other in maximizing our acting potential. It has been dormant for a while. I think about reviving it every once in a while. If you're interested, contact me for information about joining.
I’ve been helping other filmmakers cast their films recently. I worked on “Setbackâ€, “When It Rains…â€, and “Hello Santa Feâ€.
I'm waiting to work as a still photographer until I get a new camera. As soon as I have it, I’ll begin contacting models to arrange shoots.
