Asbury Shorts Schenectady -- What a Night!





Asbury Shorts Schenectady: An Evening of the World's Best Short Films is now a thing of the past -- but, oh, what an event it was!

We couldn't of asked for a better crowd of short film fans and I could hear Proctor Theater's Philip Morris's laughter echoing within the beautiful G.E. Theatre.

WTEN's own Steve Ammerman, provided us the perfect atmosphere and guidance as Master of Ceremonies, while music performing wonder-woman Jill Jack, accompanied by wonder-man lead guitarist, Bill Dillion, made us all want to get up and dance as the event's main pre-show performance.

All in all, I'm glad that I could help in bringing Creative Director Doug LeClaire's brilliant short film celebration event to Schenectady.

Mr. LeClaire was so pleased with the audience's response and the great hosting done by Proctors that he said, "Well, I guess we'll have to bring it back next year!"

I second that!

"Across the River and Into the Trees" and Me

I just finished performing in a period piece entitled ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES, directed by the wonderfully talented Alex Uhlmann and crew -- including one of the most talent D.P.s I've run into in a long time, Danielle Krudy. The highlight? Being on set with my son, Max, and watching him take on his very first film role with talented aplomb.

If you'd like to learn more about this piece of indie nirvana in Upstate, NY, check out the newsletter article from the Official Woodstock Film Festival by clicking "here."

Otherwise, stay tuned -- with a little bit of serendipity, there will be more of such-exciting projects on the horizon!
