The Present Continuous - My Latest Film

BACKSTORY

In May 2013, my agent in Dallas pulled through for me by getting me an audition for a 168 Film titled The Present Continuous.  For those that are unfamiliar with the 168 Film Festival, it's a festival where filmmakers only have 7 days (24 hours x 7 = 168) to shoot and edit a short film.  It indeed was an optimistic challenge.  Since it's a Christianized Film Festival, there must be a biblical theme set for each film that is submitted before the deadline. 

SYNOPSIS
 
I play a judge named Steve who is illegally making an insurance deal with my business partner (portrayed by well known actor Grant James).  Steve's family is waiting outside for him.  It's his daughter's birthday, and Steve was only supposed to be consulting with his partner for five minutes and not any second longer.  This film explores the choices he makes by taking too long and the extreme consequences his tardiness has on his family.  Furthermore, despite the consequences, what would happen if people can redeem themselves by having a second chance??  This film dives into just that. 
 
The Present Continuous will be released in August 2013.  For now, please take a look at the teaser to the film by clicking on the below link:
 
Enjoy!!
