Commercial Acting Work

Acting is something I've always loved, and I had the chance to flaunt some of my acting chops (though they be minimal) in Florence, Italy for the 2006 NYU "30 Second Commercial Reel" class. While attending screenwriting courses, I collaborated with friends under the direction of professor, Amos Poe, to create some spur-of-the-moment, but nevertheless pretty ingenious specs.

There's a story behind each one, but I'll let you do the imagining. It was great fun, and I'm glad to see that all of them have been keeping up with their film work!

"Untitled Fragrance Commercial" 2006
Director: Jessie Hur

"Cornetta Ice Cream" 2006
Director: Asal Hejazi
Actors: Tara Rose Stromberg
Jessie Hur

"Hunt's Ketchup"
Director: JR Skola

You can see more specs from the class of 2006, as well as those from other years at Amos' site, pianospecs.com.

"Day of Embers" Edit Halfway Done!

Just thought I'd share with you all the good news; I have finished editing the 1st half of the film, and will be done soon! Once we have this 2nd edit completed, sound design and color correction will begin. I am trying to find time in between working my 10 hour days (and that's when I'm lucky to get out on time) so that I can get this baby going.

For now, I can use all of your help in trying to find a good title. I know I've said it before, but "Day of Embers" just ain't cuttin' it. It doesn't do the film's story any justice, which at the very basic is a story of a girl growing up and facing everyday family problems. I had toyed around with "little earthquakes," but you guys tell me what you think.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to keep everyone posted! Thanks again for all your ongoing support!
