On the Edge of Hope
On the Edge of Hope, the short film I was in back in 2021, has finished its run on the festival circuit, and has been release to the wide world, in 5.1 Surround no less! You can now watch it on YouTube by clicking on the pic above. Since release it has gathered 11K views!
PLEASE like and comment on it, and share it far and wide. The more views and positive reactions it gets, the better chance we have of getting funding to make the feature-length version! (The script has already been re-written and expanded and is ready to go.)
So far, this movie has been taken up by a distributor in US to distribute in US and Europe on TV and streaming services, it has been picked up on a couple of streaming services in the Netherlands and the Middle East. Also, coming soon the HBO Europe!! Approaches have also been made to NZ on Air.
Here's a BTS shot from Plato, which is a very short intro/prequel to introduce the award-winning Sci-Fi feature, The Bostrom Scenario, that has just been released. Although I'm not in the feature, I am now part of the canon of the movie universe, playing a bureaucrat at the HEB who give the protagonists their mission. Very exciting! This promo is now finished, but I'm still waiting for a link to show it off...
So, I recently did a THING! For the Christchurch 24 Hour Film Competition. A long night of shooting, and I got to bed at 4am. It looks amazing!! Anyway, I can't put up a link here yet, because we're hoping to entering it for a few ather film festivals. Fingers crossed.
Recent stuff
Keep an eye open for me in Dark City: The Cleaner, currently streaming on Neon (in NZ). Watch for the scene in episode 5, where Joe sneaks in with the couple going up in the hotel lift. It's a very good programme (even aside from having me in it!).
For FRANKIE BORDEAUX fans: He recently wowed people at the DIY Burleskiw competition in Wellington.The new act, nicknamed Dirty Woman, was described a very polished! Pics and videos to follow!!! Hopefully also lining up some corporate gigs, too! More details to follow.
On a sad note, the "Not Bond" routine is currently on hold until he can lose the 10Kg he put on last Christmas. Currently every movement causes half the costume to fall to the floor (before it's supposed to, that is!!!).
Although our entry for the 2024 48 Hour Film Competition didn't make the City Finals, it did get 3rd place Audience Favourite and nominated for Best Title. A bit of a Bond theme happening there. Visuals look AMAZING! As it's now out of the running, it's viewable online. Just click on the photo above to be taken to it.
Last year I was part of an international collaboration between NZ and the Czech Republic for a 48 Hour Film competition. Our entry, Death Color Prisoners" won best Student Film! It's now up on YouTube, so please, click on the picture to be taken to it.
Recently shot a Kiki Rockwell music video where I play a priest, it's called Vampyr! Visuals look amazing!!! Also the music is really haunting. Click on the pic to be taken to the video.
