Dressed In Black Flag – Live Performance

dreinz — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:53:08 +0000

I have acquired the link to my live performance at the National Film Board for the feature film script, Dressed In Black Flag. The event was moderated by Tony Award nominee, Scott Wentworth, who provided great insight and feedback for the scenes presented. I had a lot of fun playing the lead characters, Captain Collins and Governor Rogers. Captain Collins appears in the beginning/middle sections and Governor Rogers appears near the end. I also met a lot of great actors at the read through and did some networking in the process.

You can also vote for our script to help us move onto the finals! Whereby, the winner moves on to do a full reading of the script. Please use the Watch Video link below to find the voting form underneath the video. Thank you very much!

Independent Film Booked! Heaven vs Hell

dreinz — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:44:55 +0000

I recently landed the lead role of Paul, the Devil, in an upcoming independent film called Heaven vs Hell, directed by Rick Jordan. The film is about hell deciding it’s time for the earth to end and heaven has to stop it. It’s a superhero film but using these two elements.

Rick is a talented director, actor, producer and singer. He currently has a short horror film named, I See You, in the top 20 at the Canada International Film Festival and is up for awards. He was also one of the singers on Canadian Idol. Check his website video, quite amazing.

It looks like all the big movie stars are doing superhero roles nowadays. I’ve always wanted to play one too! I will be shooting fire from my hands after all the special effects are put in. Should be a really fun role to play!
