The Doorpost Film Project has its 2009 Finalists’ Films available for viewing and voting! One such film is Portraits, directed by John DesRoches and starring yours truly.
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.)
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.
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.
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.

Go here to view a 2-minute cut of my “Actor Slate”: Actor Slate highlights the actor’s personality so that it is like having a general interview in front of the casting director. Whether an actor has a demo reel or not, Actor Slate can be very powerful. Casting directors always want to ‘get a glimpse’ of an actor’s personality. Actor Slate isn’t about an actor reading lines or a demo reel, it is about actors being themselves.
