I’ve finally got around to updating the galleries section of the site.
I’ve added three sets of pics:

In association with Flamedrop Productions I helped organise and MC’d a small and very impromptu Q&A Sesssion with some of the cast and crew of the unbelievably awesome movie District 9.
As some of you may know the entire film was shot in South Africa, by South Africans and starring South Africans.
Guests are Jason Cope (Christopher Johnson and Grey Bradnam) Vanessa Haywood (Tania vd Merwe) and Producer Michael S. Murphy.

The Beardless Wonder

2009 started wonderfully with this commercial for Fryst Frozen Foods.
It was a ridiculously fun day out in the Cape Town summer.
I play a small-town tv-reporter covering the Rivertown County Fair and annual macaroni & cheese contest.

Awesome crew, awesome cast, awesome day.
The Director pretty much gave me free reign with the character and allowed me to improvise quite a lot of the scene.
It sounds silly talking about a commercial like it was an award winning performance, but so often when you shoot a commercial it’s all about hitting your mark and holding the product up correctly that it is always a pleasure when they let you actually throw in some performance and create a character.
