A: A lifelong fascination with film combined with meeting Erik Soulliard during college. He and I hit it off right away, talking movies and random weird stuffs that interested the both of us. Time passes, we both gradute, Erik announces that he intended to write a movie script that he intended to film. He sent me the script that contained a character he wrote with me in mind and that was all it took.

          A: I play the role of Calvin, something of a cocky, douche bag sort. He is a squirrely, obsessive guy who never seemed to get past his fixations that he developed on his main crew of friends from the high school/college age. Kind of a sad, head case who holds himself higher than others-completely unjustified in doing so.

          A: "The Creek" was filmed on a shoestring budget, actually less than a shoestring, maybe a velcro adhesive budget. The level of talent brought together on crew and in the actors was something special. We had a lot of making the picture, behind the scenes and on camera.

          Despite the fact that funds were limited, heir direktor pulled off a great-looking and sounding film.

          A: The aspects of memorizing lines and trying not to sound wooden using someone elses’ words. It was hard working fulltime elsewhere while filming and trying to cram lines in based on a tentative shooting schedule. Once the lines were relatively recorded in the mindbanks the challenge became putting life into those words and sounding convincing due to the far-fetched nature of the script and the events that unfold therein.

          A lot of the scenes were difficult. We were shooting over night and most of us were getting by on 2-4 hours of sleep on any given shoot night.

          One scene in particular that stands out as difficult is one scene in which i had to chase a moving car and smash a window with a rock. This involved me spring with a 10-lb (give or take) rock in my hand in treacherous forestland, getting ahead of the car, letting the car pass and as it did, smashing in the window. We tried it several times but no one, no matter what we tried, could shatter this window. The folks at Volkswagen should be proud of their early 1990s Jetta models that contain apparent diamond glass.

          A: A few weeks into the shoot I came to believe that Soulliards’ vision would translate as he envisioned it to the big and small screens alike. It wasn’t any particular moment, just erik’s stating that things are looking as he intended, he was happy with this or that, &tc.

          A: I acted in one film after making "The Creek", entitled "Happy Hour", a drama. Other than that, nothing really is planned filmwise. Should something interesting come along-any genre- that i feel like auditioning for, then i shall. I do await a call from any number of hollywood directors seeking my talents as a result of my tour de force performances in either of the above referenced films.

          The bulk of my freetime creative energies are spent writing novel, short story or screenplay and hopeful publication and/or one day filming are all plans for the future.

          A: Nope

          A: The last horror film i saw would be the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". For disturbing and overall unpleasantness, nothing beats it. Prior to that, "The Mothman Chronicles"-which may or may not be horror. I am much more into the disturbing, psychological horror than the blood and guts type of stuff.

          A: Thank you!
