Actor, Director and Voice Artist
Christchurch, New Zealand
Coming Soon!
It's official: Frankie Bordeaux has been accepted to perform at DIY BURLESKIWI! Yeee haaa! I've got my music sorted, costume, and all props (bar an old, large transistor radio). So, now that The Hound of the Baskervilles is over, I can start the choreography for it. Can't wait!!
On the Edge of Hope
Feature-length verion in the works!
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. 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, and a link will be up asap.
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!).
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.
For FRANKIE BORDEAUX fans: He recently got his kit off for a 72nd Birthday party, and will do the same at a festival around King's Birthday weekend. I'm hoping to get him lined up for 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!!!).
