I'm sure that many of my fellow actors can relate to this entry:
A few years ago, I had an opportunity to participate as an actor on a Lost Jockey Productions project in Boston. It was called "Aerodynamics" and was being directed by Theodore (Ted) Cormey. I had come to believe that the project had died. Tonight, it premiered in Boston.
I can't readily recall how many projects I've been involved with that never made it to "the screen" or even a DVD. I was so happy to see that this film was finally being completed and, even though I couldn't be there physically, I was there in spirit.
"Aerodynamics" is about Lil' Moe, an Afro-American ventriloquist dummy and his partner, Willy. Lil Moe becomes an experimental test pilot and is launched in space to ivestigate the disapperence of several lunar teams. Moe uncovers the problem but becomes a trapped when his own spacecraft is damaged and drifting away.
I have the role of one of the technician specialists in the mission control room.
I have included the trailer here to help promote "Aerodynamics". I can be seen twice here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I watched it. You can find out more at "http://aerodynamicsmovie.com".
Well, it's not what you think but I do have your attention now, right?
Brenna Lee Roth plays my wife in Ray Basham's new Indie feature "Hillbilly Bob Zombie". The irreverent comedy zombie film lampoons hillbilly life and is currently filming in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
This is my first film with Brenna. She has a great filmography and was a member of the Emmy-winning ensemble cast of CSI. She has worked on both independently-produced films (like this one) and "big-budget" features.
Ray Basham is an award-winning illustrator and cartoonist. "Hillbilly Bob Zombie" is his second film. He has also written and directed a short called "Killer" which was featured on the Chiller cable channel. Ray and I have both worked as actors in "Wicked Business", "Abe's Tomb", "Icabod", "Mountain Mafia", and "I Am Legend". I shared a table with Ray at the Dark X-mas Horror Convention in 2006, where I met Brenna. And while Ray and I have worked together in five other projects, this is our first project where Ray has written, produced, directed, filmed, and has also provided the set-building, special effects and makeup services, too.
Mount Vernon band, Elixer, performed for the movie and wrote the title song for it.
Now, let me justify my claim to have slept with Brenna: The first night of filming, we filmed into the wee hours of the morning and Ray invited Brenna and I to sleep in his house. He had one of those "L"-shaped sofas and we fell asleep. Still, it is fun to be able to say, "I slept with Brenna Lee Roth!"
