Film – Chaos For Hire

dreinz — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 23:40:18 +0000

Today was the last day on set for the film Chaos For Hire, directed by Dan Tahmizian. It is a Dark Comedy. I played one of the principal roles, Jevan. Jevan is recently off his medication and is what others call unstable. He loves B-movies and when he gets the opportunity to be part of a hit he jumps on it to do something like in the movies. He has a hidden agenda.

The story is about two amateur hitmen, Lee and Booker, are in need of money and take a “no problems” job from Lee’s cousin Jevan. The mark is a mysterious woman and the man who wants her killed is Bill, just another white collar. The job is supposed to be simple but when Lee and Booker walk into a room with 7 men, they realize they have a big problem.

The shooting days were tons of fun! Worked with a bunch of great actors, crew and the director was on the ball. Always a pleasure doing top-notch projects with Ryerson students. They are the next generation of up and coming filmmakers.

The film will be screened in late April at Rainbow Cinemas. I will be advertising the event once the dates are made official! So, come on out and support young talent at it’s best!

Dressed In Black Flag – Live Performance

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!
