New Content - 'Kick Back' photos and music video by Mustard Pimp (Dim Mak Records)

Mustard Pimp brings us a niche banger with their neo-gabber song 'Kick Back', and for their music video Behn Fannin resurrected the 90's in this love story between Erica McIntire and me. Lucky for us, Caroline Macey stopped by the set and snapped some shots.

Check out what VICE magazine has to say about it.

“I won’t even try to explain all the weird things going on in this video.”

Wrapped - Black Dahlia Ballet short film

Last week I finished a quick shoot for the Black Dahlia Ballet short film wherein I play the detective.  The film will be about 5 minutes long, and is intended to garner interest for a feature film.  It was shot on the RED camera, and from what I can tell is going to look amazing.  It has a really talented team - Daniel Lynn as the DP, Avi Quijada as the line producer, and Stephen Espinosa and Mary Ablaza as the director/choreographers.  The lovely and talented Adrianne Richards plays Moira, an actress who is playing Elizabeth Short (known as the Black Dahlia) in a ballet about the murder.  Here are some shots from the day of the shoot.

Upcoming Shows - Improv at The Clubhouse & UCB

I'll be performing in two improv shows this week.  One is with my indie team Tupac Liqueur at the Manifesto Show with a stellar lineup including group game specialists Typhoon and UCB Harold team The Ruckus.  The other is a 301 class show at UCB, and my class is stacked with solid improvisers, some of whom perform regularly around town in indie shows and at iOWest.

• 3/8 - Friday - 8 pm : The Manifesto Show at The Clubhouse - 1107 A N. El Centro, LA, CA
  
• 3/10 - Sunday - 12 pm : UCB 301 class show at UCB - 5919 Franklin Ave., LA, CA

Come on out and see me throw down on some silliness.

Wrapped - Infomercial

Last Thursday I shot a ridiculous infomercial with Josh Blackburn and Behn Fahnnin of the sketch group Rigor Tortoise.  I wrote and acted, Behn directed, and Josh handled mostly everything else.  I just saw a rough cut yesterday, and am looking forward to share it with everybody.  It's very silly.  Here's a pic of us three after the shoot.
