This is my entry for Robert Rodriguez’s BlackBerry “Keep Moving” contest wherein he left a portion of his short film, TWO SCOOPS, green-screened, allowing desperate actor-folk like myself to upload their own performances into his film.

Big thanks to Evan Elliot, and Mike Doucette for helping me shoot the scene, and Nick Swimm for pointing the contest out to me. I had a lot of fun making it and now I really want to own a BlackBerry.

Don’t you also want to own a BlackBerry? BUY A BLACKBERRY!

Check out the first still-frame from Greg Jackson‘s first feature film, BUNKER 6, featuring myself, Andrea Lee Norwood (whom I shared the screen with in Josh MacDonald‘s GAME), and Shelley Thompson.

For more info on the flick, which is slated for a Fall 2013 premiere, check out these articles from The Coast (Bunker Down) and The Chronicle Herald (An Eerie Silence on Set).

I wanted to make sure that The Academy wasn’t going to give me one of those surprise Oscars for 2012′s ROLLER TOWN before I posted a clip from Picnicface’s feature film, but alas they gave an award to that hack, Christoph Waltz, instead.

…Enjoy!

For now, us Canadian chumps will have to wait a bit longer to consume the entire film, unlike our neighbours down south who can watch it on Netflix & iTunes. Keep an eye on http://rollertownthemovie.com and the Picnicface FB page for more info!

There aren’t many products that I would gladly slap my precious, precious image in front of, but the stretchy gelatinous snack food known as Fruit By The Foot is one of them…

Are you not entertained?!
