In the summer of 2011, Bryan Hiltner, the writer/director of "sLipPage", decided to write and produce a series of short films in rapid succession. I was fortunate enough to be asked to act in two of them.
In "Engage-Fail" I play a private investigator who has been posing as a young man's future father-in-law. The moment of the film is the point when the young man discovers that no one around him is quite who they say they are. The filming schedule was very compressed on this project, and there was little opportunity for re-takes. Never the less, the finished film turned out nicely. This film won First Place at the July 2011 edition of the "Suck My Flick" monthly film festival.

"For the Benefit of Others" is a Faustian vignette in which a young woman arranges to make things better for her family by offering up her "friends" for sacrifice. I play Mephistopheles, and once again, Bryan paired me with Emily Galash. This is an atypical role for me, and it required me to enact a murder scene with spurting blood, etc. It took a bit of work to find the place where this character could live in me.
