Untucked Films says:
The Funeral is now premiering at this year’s Aspen ShortsFest.

See the blurb below detailing the highlights of the Aspen ShortsFest, and come west with us. We’re told that The Funeral will be shown the aftenoon of Saturday, April 4th. We’ll post more information as it’s released.
Exciting!

Tropfest NY 2008: I win Best Actor; “The Wildflower” places 3rd!
The weather reports all said it would rain heavily, but Friday night was actually very pleasant (despite the low turnout).
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:

Tropfest NY 2008: “The Wildflower”
I starred in a short film (The Wildflower) that will be screened next Friday in Battery Park City as one of eight finalists in this year’s Tropfest NY. 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.

9/23: “The Switch”
On September 23, “The Switch” (dir. Jonathan Emmerling) will be one of sixteen short films (chosen from 161 submissions) premiering at Tropfest@Tribeca, a “free public outdoor short film festival” at Battery Park. I play Tom, the sad sack who’s so bad with the laydeez he’s never been on a second date. He finally meets an attractive someone who totally “gets” him and “crushes on” him and whatnot, but it’s a dude! Laughter, tears, lessons, etc. ensue. Watch a short clip here.
Not to be shallow (I’m not, but I know some of you are), but I understand the judges’ll be some, like, pretty famous peeps — last year Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon were two of ‘em. Maybe Robert DeNiro will ask you to save his seat when he goes for a pee. You can blog about it later.
So: I hope you’ll join my friends and me for what will, at the very least, be some pretty good short films. And maybe some wine, if we can bring wine in. (Probably not.) Entertainment starts at 5, and the screening starts around 8 (about when I imagine I’ll get there).
YAY

3/15 – 4/1 The Madwoman of Chaillot
I’ll be playing the Ragpicker in Theatre Unplugged’s upcoming production of Jean Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot, a delicious satire about greed, power, big business, and the ability of the “little people” (mad though they may be) to win the day! Joy, justice, and love return to the world once more.
The Ragpicker is a great, meaty, part. If you’ve ever said, “Hey, let me know when you’re in something really substantial” to me, this is the show you should come see.
Seating is very limited. Please, if you are coming, buy your ticket sooner rather than later — and come see it as early as you can in the run! Leah will be attending the 3/16 show.
MTB Studio presents THEATRE UNPLUGGED, an innovative new theatre company founded by acclaimed acting teacher and director Mary T. Boyer. The company strikes the set and ignites the satire in its inaugural production, French dramatist Jean Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot.

Off to Brazil!
Leah’s friend Romie did a medical elective in Brazil a few years ago, where she took a boat down the (Negro? Amazon?) River and provided medical care to tiny villages. This weekend she’s getting married to that boat’s nature guide. Can you think of anything more romantic?
We’ll be in Manaus save for a two-day excursion into the rainforest. Back on the 15th!
Edit: We’re back. Pictures.

In two days, there will be a short (two days) run of the short (fifteen minutes) play that I’m in. It’s a sweet little romantic comedy about two strangers that meet and unexpectedly connect. Okay, the tickets are $20 (more if you buy online) — but hey you’ll also see two other plays and the stand-up comedian who opens for us. So, c’mon, whaddya say?
AT THE VERY LEAST WISH I SHOULD BREAK MY LEG
