I was invited to be on a team… 72 hour film contests are a blast to be part of, but they are also challenging. Each team has 72 hours to write, cast, shoot and edit a short film. Via a friend I met on a project, I was invited to attend a mixer for the…
Open wide! I was asked to be part of a contest to make a commercial entry for Chipotle restaurants. This was our teams spot. I’m also the voice-over talent…
Filming in Orlando! It’s always fun filming in Orlando, so I was excited to learn this commercial would be shot there. Wardrobe was in the office of Universal Studios… and I gotta say, it’s so cool driving into the complex. This commercial is about a doctor educating soon to be new parents about prepaid college.
It was a hot day in Miami! This is the tough thing about filming in Miami… your face can melt off if you aren’t careful. Fortunately, we got through our scene quickly… but even then, they had to wipe our faces of sweat between each take. Humidity baby! This version is in English.
“This ain’t no joke”! That’s one of the lines I have to dish out as I rob Burger King. This training video is shown to all new employees as part of safety procedures. Pay attention!
“We think you look like Andy Garcia”. Really? That’s what the casting team told me. I don’t see it, but I wasn’t going to argue with them. This was a fun spot to film… and I got a great Guayabera shirt… thanks to The Guayabera Lady!
This is an interesting spot. The client choose to do a few unexpected things in this commercial series. I got the scuba scene.
And here’s the Spanish version… This commercial was filmed in English and Spanish… and doing takes for both versions in the Miami humidity was hot! This is the tough thing about filming in Miami… your face can melt off if you aren’t careful. Fortunately, we got through our scene quickly… but even then, they had…
I’m a construction worker eating KFC! The set on this commercial was awesome… the art director built scaffolding and that’s where we shot the commercial. Check it out!
Here’s another of our home movies with our nephews. These short films are so fun to make, and it’s a great learning experience for our nephews. We all brainstorm script ideas, then plan the shoots, find props and wardrobe, and memorize lines. Not a bad weekend for the kids with their uncle and aunt!
This is what happens when my wife and I take care of our nephews. After all, we are actors… so what better way to entertain the kids than by making our own family movie? Here’s our short film a la “The Artist”, starring Bryana, Manny, Michael and yours truly.
A gameshow? Really? That was our reaction when a casting director called asking us to audition. We weren’t crazy about the idea… bust we decided it would be fun… and it was… mostly…. except for the disorganized production and the virtually unknown game rules. That created quite the drama backstage. But that’s another story for…
I’m a big fan of Samantha Brown. My wife and I were excited to be chosen to be a part of Samantha Brown’s Travel Channel anniversary show special. We had a blast… the VIP party with Mickey Mouse was awesome!
My wife & I thought making a 60 second video for $100,000 was a good idea. We entered the Murphy-Goode wine spokesperson contest for a $100,000 job for the year. Frankly, my wife and I were perfect for it… she with her Emmy-Award winning journalism background, and me with my tech & marketing guru skills… it…
A funny short film parody about communism in Cuba & how it “can work”. Here are a few selected clips… I’m the spokesman for the wonders of communism. Definitely acting for this one…
