About me:
I'm an actor and writer from Alabama with a Bacon Number of 4. As my comedy page may imply, I do more humor-based material. I currently write for Epiphany Magazine or sometimes I'm just adding some random quibble to my blog, which could always use more subscribers. I've written several comedic screenplays that have been praised by a few competitions and recently got one optioned. Right now, I don't have much capability when it comes to travel, so I'm working with the extremely talented film community here in the south, playing indie film director. As for the films I directed, Jason and Jason was my first attempt and I feel as if it was a real learning experience. Hopefully that progress will show in my upcoming project, I-CAN-D, which is a mockumentary about a politically driven boy band, are we curious? Both of which are screening at Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, so hopefully, I'll see you out there. My production team is called Sprankle Studios, which is made up of Alan Lazer, Chris West, my two brothers, William and Paul and myself. We do both drama and comedy, depending on whose writing it. I'm not saying I'd never write a drama, but that's mainly Alan's specialty. It's pretty easy to tell whose a fan of Mel Brooks and whose a fan of David Lynch. Less than a year old, Sprankle a very young and prepubescent company, but we've made it count by winning 2nd place at the last Sidewalk Scramble and were nominated for best picture and selected to be screened on AT&T at the Campus Movie Festival, so I think we're off to a good start.
It's supposed to be absurd.It's the very first episode of INTEGALACTIC and it's the first thing me and Morgan have ever acted in. It's a work in progress. I learn as I go. It's a great start though. We had a lot of fun and will be putting more stuff out soon. Maybe next time we'll have a script. I fucking find it HILARIOUS!!!! I'm so proud of how bad it sucks. I hate introductions... I can't just start killing people. Maybe next time... maybe next time.Enjoy... we'll be back.I love love LOVED making this. It's in two parts because YouTube only allows you to upload 10 minutes at a time... we're working out the small stuff...

Drama and divas and duct tape, oh my! Welcome to the world of Pageant, the exhilarating backstage documentary about the 34th Miss Gay America Pageant. Greeted by standing ovations at film festivals across the country (and winner of the coveted “Audience Award” in San Francisco, Miami and New York), Pageant follows five men as they compete to be Miss Gay America. As we get to know these men and their supportive families and friends, we come to appreciate the hard work and sacrifice that it takes to be one of the most fabulous female impersonators in the nation. Before long, the suspense, sparkle and surprise of the actual competition take over as we anxiously anticipate whose wig might finally cradle the tiara. Yet, amidst the astounding production numbers, astonishing physical transformations and antic costume changes, Pageant remains a simple, inspirational story of the beauty realized while pursuing one’s dreams.
