The first, CHALK (based on Tennessee Williams's one-act play from 1980, "The Chalky White Substance"), is an examination of religion, morality, trust and love that takes place hundreds of years in a post-nuclear war future. It's beautifully-written (it is Tennessee Williams, after all), and it's a wonderful opportunity for me to play a character a little more brutal and raw than I normally have a chance to play. It's at times violent, and at times tender, both heart warming and emotionally very cold. Exciting opportunity. Director: Leon Hendrix III. Producer: J. Charles Banks.
The second, KEEP ME SAFE (an original work by writer/director Adam Vazquez), is a family drama to be shot on a beautiful 28-acre plot of Hurricane Sandy-ravaged land in New Jersey. The story deals with how a family (mother, father & son) deals with monstrous forces, both environmental and psychological. Very cool opportunity. Cast includes Meredith Riley Stewart.
