For the past year I have been working on an experimental Super 8 film titled "The Haunted Executioner," loosely based on a story of a medieval executioner haunted by his victims. Filmed across the US and in Italy, parts take place during the French Revolution, American Revolution, and in Ancient Rome and the Wild West.

And lastly this Fall I worked with Michael Weller at the Actors Studio on a staged reading of his play-in-progress called "Halfway There" featuring Tony Shalhoub and directed by Tony Speciale. We performed Act One and hopefully will be back to perform Act Two for the Playwright/Directors Unit soon!
