The Corridor – Day 2

Today, I was hoping to post a video log that Mr. Matt Amyotte and myself coersed into existence, but that has not yet been made available to the netz. Instead, today’s offering is a whole new blog! My co-star Matt Amyotte has a blog as well, and plans on updating it day-to-day during the production.

Check oot his blog @ http://mattamyotte.wordpress.com/

In other news, things are going well, and all limbs are intact! See you tomorrow!

The Corridor – Day 1

Hey folks! Today was the first day of production for THE CORRIDOR. I have decided I’m going to try and do something rad for all y’all (how nice of me, right?): every day of production, I plan to update the blog with some memento or trinket relating to the film. It may be something quick & dirty, or a thorough, long-winded story.

So make sure to check back every couple days for some Corridor goodness!

Eisener Talks About HOBO

The ‘Fax, a local news television show on Eastlink hosted by students of Kings University’s Journalism Program recently featured Jason Eisener on their program.

Eisener talked about the creation of his upcoming feature length major motion picture HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, dishing some details on the shoot date, and a possible local venue. Watch the report, ya’ jerk…

Reporter Jason A. Thibault also interviewed Jason regarding Thrillema: PART 1 & PART 2.

The Corridor

Hey folks, I’m so damned excited to tell you that I’ve landed a principal role in the upcoming feature length film THE CORRIDOR. The film, (written by Josh MacDonald, directed by Evan Kelly) is one of the finest scripts I’ve had the pleasure of reading, and I can’t wait to get to work on it.

The film will be shooting throughout February, and I’ll hopefully be doing a little bit of behind the scenes blogging during the month. That’s what you love me for, isn’t it?

I can confirm that the movie takes place during winter. I can also confirm that this photo has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever.

Since I have no idea what I’m at liberty to say and not say, I will just stop before I ruin everything, haha.

Blog On!

In the interest of keeping content flowing onto the blog (it’s been two god-forsaken weeks since the last update), I wanted to share with you an amazing clip from a movie I recently watched…

Before I get to that, I need to tell you that when I was cast in MOBY DICK, I wasn’t told much in regards to the casting, so going into my first big shoot I had no idea who I’d be acting with. I had heard that Ethan Hawke was going to be in the film, as was Charlie Cox (who I knew from STARDUST), but that was it.

My first scene was opposite of a British actor who I recognized, but I wasn’t sure what from. And I’m glad that I didn’t remember. It turned out that the man I was acting opposite of was Eddie Marsan, two-time winner of Britain’s top honors for Best Supporting Actor in HAPPY-GO-LUCKY (2008) and VERA DRAKE (2004).

Check out his ridiculously stacked IMDb page here.

So I wanted to show you a clip from HAPPY-GO-LUCKY which showcases Marsan’s heavyweight talents, so you can also revel in awe with me…

Forgive me if this blog entry seems to make no sense, it’s just that lately I’ve constantly been forced to reassess how damn lucky I really am to be doing this for a living, and how much I love it to work with talented people who love to do it too.

I’ll have another exciting blog update this week! Stay tuned.

Battling Blizzard Boredom

For those of you in Nova Scotia right now, I thought I’d help you battle the blizzard boredom by sharing with you, one of the greatest treasures I have ever discovered in my life.

Over a year ago, I was walking around Toys ‘R’ Us, making fun of random things & people when I stumbled upon a book, a book that was so creepy, and so bizarre that it could only be made for children…

Insert: DADDY & ME.

Please note: the book’s publishing company is called A SUPER CHUBBY. Do not let the fact that the Father resembles Bruce Campbell fool you, this man is a creep with a super chubby.

Let’s explore…

Innocent looking enough, maybe even cute, but look into that child’s eyes, you know something is wrong and no amount of Luigi-clone can cover that up.

On the left: this man’s hair cut gives him away right away. Creep. On the right: children cannot fly, this man is lying to this child. Creep.

This man is not wearing socks, but he is wearing a wristwatch. Creepy creep.

On the left: no grown man’s enthusiasm is allowed to match that of a child’s: thus, creep. On the right: black Dad knows how to keep his cool, but he’s still a creep.

This kid is so ****ed.

I hope that this disturbing piece of children’s literature helped distract you from the fact the Snowpocalypse is upon us. Happy shovelling!

Moby Dick Still

Today’s Chronicle Herald has a great article about James Gilbert’s experiences working on MOBY DICK (Rough seas fuel actor). Along with the article, comes the first official still from production featuring James Gilbert, Halifax’s Glen Matthews, Eddie Marsan (from Sherlock Holmes), and Matthew Lemche.

Still no word on a release date or a broadcaster picking it up, but with filming just wrapped, I have a feeling it could be a while before you get to see me run around in a bowler hat.

Happy Holidays!

…Yes, that’s Wishbone in my loving arms. Congrats to the members of the GlenJMpire who managed to acquire an uncensored version of the card (above) in the mail; we are all now kindred spirits.

In all seriousness (there’s no way of moving on from that, is there?) happy holidays and have an awesome new year!

2009 has really been one of the best year’s of my life thus far, and I hope for more of the same in 2010. I hope to continue to do what I love, but also to challenge myself. Thank you all so much (italics makes it heartfelt) for your support, it really means a lot to me; hopefully I can pay you back in entertainment-dollars.

More to come, if I have any say in it! *Fist bump*

Blush Response Stills

BLUSH RESPONSE, the NSCAD Thesis film I shot a few weeks ago (along with Picnicface’s own Cheryl Hann) has released a handful of production stills on the film’s Facebook group for your viewing pleasure. Here’s a few of them…

Click here to be magically transported to the Facebook group / where you can view the rest of the photos! The film is going to have a screening in Halifax in April. Stay tuned; I dare you.

This will be the last time I mention Treevenge…

Pinky swear.

We are three effing days away from Christmas! What better way to spread holiday cheer than by gift-wrapping 16 minutes of bloody Christmas trees wreaking havoc on us humans… By “gift-wrapping” I meant copy & pasting the URL to a friend.

Lots of people still haven’t seen it, so think of who in your life might enjoy this: your creepy Uncle? Your creepy neighbor? Your creepy Mother? Whoever enjoys it, they’re probably pretty creepy.
