The Call

https://www.thecef.world/single-post/2019/08/27/The-Call---in-



The following blurb is the official CEF promo of what's going on with this project... "Richard Dally (as Dylan) contemplates his impending demise in Laurence Moore's production of his digital short film titled, The Call.  theCEF.world is assisting Mr. Moore's development of this project."  The thing is, my friend Laurence has a brilliant eye for film and story telling, however, he does not have the means to create the vision he holds in his head, therefore, I have extended whatever skill and tools I possess on behalf of this effort.  The call is a well written short film about a young fellow having to face his own mortality.  Basically, I'm shooting the project and assisting in the production of this one.  I have really enjoyed working with Rich and Laurence on this.  And, over the next month, or two, I expect we have two more days of shooting.

As always... I will keep you posted with the outcome.  And you can always check in with what's going on at the home for all my projects at theCEF.world

A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Nun...

Worked with Ken Fischman yesterday in the pilot production of his show titled A Priest, a Rabbi, and a Nun...  I played Soloman car salesman looking for absolution for lusting after a nun.

they tell me satire is dead.

A conversation in a bar the other night has led me to post this scene from my feature length satire film titled Wearing Hitler's Pants.  The person I spoke with expressed a passionate concern for a "lack of equity in our country" as he pointed to the television which was on a news show re-capping the Zimmerman trial, and then he promptly asked me about my ethnic background...  I described myself as a mutt with some German, some English, and, I assume mostly French (a guess due to my French last name) heritage.  With said information in hand, he began to ridicule my German decent by indicating - "what if Hitler was a brother?"  (I'm not sure that it matters, but to me it makes this incident much more humorous - the man I spoke with was African American)  I believe he was mostly serious (as humor sometimes is) which caused me to laugh.  My laughter at his seriousness about Hitler-because-I-was-a-percent-German perplexed him.  "What, you think hate is funny?"  He asked.  To which I responded by reciting several lines from this clip.  He reluctantly chuckled.  Please keep in mind...  It's satire.  According to Wikipedia - Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.  I think the irony in this little scene is amazing..  The actor's really good as well (Morrocco Omari http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0648339/) Regardless, I've been told that satire is dead. 

.. on the subject of Sundance

Here's an interesting, but certainly a pompous point of view on the subject of the Sundance Film Festival. The scene was scripted and shot in 2004..
