Improv Rehearsing at World Market & Whole Foods

Did some improv rehearsing with Alma.  She is the actress playing Lourdes, my ex-wife in the film.  It went really well... she was a natural!  We are very happy with our entire cast.

Ladies in Comedy fundraiser at The Poison Cup, wine and art boutique

Had a great time last night with friends and fellow actors at the Chicago Ladies in Comedy fundraiser!  It was at The Poison Cup, a wine and art boutique.  We were actually two couples rehearsing incognito while mingling with the crowd at this event.  We were improvising while being in-character.  It was totally off-script and off-the-cuff.  Basically, we were creating/living the immediate back-story of the script.  It felt really natural, genuine, and truthful.  There was also a silent auction that we won bids on.  In the pics: Me as Gardel, Erin as Jewel, Patrice as Maya, and Kevin as Derrick.

Independent Film - Gardel's Jewel

Currently collaborating on a great project with a very dedicated and talented group of individuals.  It is an independent film about relationships and love.  We are in preproduction right now, and scheduled to begin shooting in a month.  I will share more as it progresses.
