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. 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.
Recently 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! Still waiting for it to be posted on YouTube. When it is, I'll put a link 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. Also, he's preparing to create a new routine, with a James Bond flavour!!!

Father and Son
Linked to the film On the Edge of Hope, the same writers crafted a beautiful and (very) short film, Father and Son, which it turns out was written with me in mind! Unlike Edge of Hope, this isn't going into any film festivals, so it is now available to watch online, and I'm incredibly proud of the result. Click on the above photo to be taken to it.
The super-itchy 'rugged' look I sported for this 'mockumentary' was well worth the trouble! The whole thing looks great and was such fun to shoot. And it now has 11K views!! Click on the pic above to be taken to it...
On YouTube is this short film we made as part of One Dollar Genre. It's a western called Hope to Die, and it looks absolutely stunning!! I'm incredibly proud of every aspect of it, even my acting! It was shot over two days and edited in a week. A great story; very well told. Click on the pic above to be taken to it.
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 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.
