The more views, the more likely we are to win.

Although… I’ve been contemplating these contests lately. They get thousands of people to make commercials for them, and the makers of the commercials get tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people to watch the commercials! They don’t care about getting a high-quality commercial, it’s all about getting the brand out!

I do love dying on-screen.

In other news, two auditions today: A nerdy guy in a West Virginia lottery commercial, and an obsessive neuroscientist in a short film called Braaains!

One such film is Portraits, directed by John DesRoches and starring yours truly.

Portraits - Behind the Scenes

What you should do now (or before 9/16):

  1. Go to http://www.thedoorpost.com/register/ and sign up so you can watch and vote on films.
  2. Go to http://www.thedoorpost.com/hope/Portraits/ and watch Portraits.

What you should do after you’ve watched Portraits:

Did you watch it? Only read further after you’ve watched it.

Not bad, amirite? (If you disagree, feel free to disregard the rest of this post.)

  1. Now you can vote on Portraits. (You might notice that you can only vote on a film after you have watched it while logged in.) There’s a little button on the lower-left of the video player. Use that to get to the voting page.
  2. Now, uh… watch and vote upon the rest of the films. I realize this is kind of a tall order. But, see, the more films you watch, the more your votes count. And these are finalists—they’re going to be high quality. I’m making a night of it and watching ‘em all (http://www.thedoorpost.com/2009/FinalFilms/) this evening. I hope you do too.

We want it to get as many “hits” (to use the parlance of the interwebs) so that they’ll hire Untucked (yes, it is another Untucked Films project) to make more! So please take a look, and if you find it to be suitably funny, SHOW YOUR FRIENDS AND TELL THEM TO PASS IT ON OR YOU WILL NOT BE THEIR FRIEND ANY MORE.

So, I won Best Actor and The Wildflower placed 3rd.

In addition, Barbara Singer of Mrs. Jones (directed by Jonathan Emmerling, who directed last year’s The Switch) won Best Actress!

Tropfest just put the finalists up on YouTube. Here’s The Wildflower:



Those of you who’ve seen “The Switch” might notice that I am getting typecast as an undateable weirdo. LOVE IT.

And here’s Mrs. Jones:


(More Tropfest finalists here.)

They’re also going to play a selection of finalists from last year, including The Switch which *cough* also starred yours truly and came in 3rd place. So I’m going to be on the big screen twice that night. Which is exciting.

Nicole Kidman, I’ve got my eye on your money.

Also I acted in another Untucked Films short, The Funeral. This one’ll be in HD. What I’ve seen so far looks beautiful.
