Cannes Accreditation

April 30, 2025April 30, 2025Leave a comment

This is still kinda nuts to me. Like it wasn’t even something on my bucket list. But now I’m gonna be intermingling with all the cool people, I guess. I have to practice how not to be too “aw shucks” about everything. I’ve even got invitations to two galas already. Have I even ever...

Million Film to Debut at Cannes in May

April 25, 2025April 25, 2025Leave a comment

This piece has been on quite a journey over the past year. First produced as a play at Trinity Theatre last June (a coproduction with CinnPath), it was quickly turned into an adapted screenplay, and then filmed over just 7 days in a remote location outside Austin. And now it’s having its official debut...

Here’s the current movie poster for A MILLION MORE TO GO. I’m not exactly sure how I got top billing, but I’m not complaining for now. Haha. We have some more news in the pipeline, which I’m excited to share soon!...

I’m late in posting this, but I’m grateful to this crew for putting on such a great performance the third week of FronteraFest this year. I wasn’t able to be around for much of the prep work, but Ruth (director) and Kristen and Ashley and Christina and Linda and Chiara came through with an...

A quick post to say that this show ended up being super fun. Thanks to Michelle in particular, for shepherding me through the process to get the story right, and to Mike and Rusty and Derrick and Lydia for being so supportive and fun. And to the ASL folks for adding so much spice....

… in which I hastily make a self-promotional graphic based on feedback from our show on the 13th, and ask my kids to nitpick till we get it looking okay. So here it is. One more showing on Monday, January 27th at 7pm. I’m going to try to get this one recorded too, and...

Mortified Show in Austin in February

I’m so, so, so excited about this. I’m going to be performing in the Doomed Valentine’s Day show for Mortified Austin at the Highball February 14th and 15th. The way this came about was just a quick random series of events. I got invited last-minute to a party in December. Then I happened to...

Just got word that I get to perform the latest version of my Nine Days story at the Marsh Theatre in San Francisco next month. This is kind of a dream come true for me. My dad has taken me to several great shows there over the years, and it’s the place where my...

Nine Days Rebirth?

December 8, 2024December 9, 2024Leave a comment

This old story of mine has had quite a journey over the years, and it got a boost a couple of years ago as a local author began championing it for me, trying to help me find a home for it. That didn’t end up working out (at least as of this writing) but...
