Static Not Static

Posted on: April 3rd, 2013 by wmapother 1 Comment

A couple years ago I did a quick shoot of an indie horror film, Static. It was released on VOD in 2D, and it’s just been purchased for release on DVD in 3D.  The pic stars Milo Ventimiglia, Sarah Shahi, and Sara Paxton.

Synopsis: “As a young novelist and his wife are coping with the loss of their child, their lives are turned upside down when a panicked girl appears at their home in the middle of the night with stories of masked intruders stalking her. That night, the stalkers strike, sending the couple on a horrific game of cat and mouse, where they are forced to uncover shocking details from their past that may be the reason for the attack.

Bad Words on ‘Tape’

Posted on: January 21st, 2013 by wmapother No Comments

LA Theatre Works is a terrific theatre series of ‘radio theatre.’  latw 'tape'

Actors read a play aloud on stage, but in front of  a live audience. The performance is also taped, and LA Theatre Works offers the performances either on CDs or via download. Some of our greatest actors have participated over the years: John Lithgow, Alfred Molina, Marsha Mason, David Straithairn, Paul Giamatti, Laurence Fishburne, etc.

Actors love the series, because the entire process – rehearse, run through, several performances – takes only an entire week. Which spares the actors some of the self-imposed pressure to be amazing.

In 2003 I did a performance there of Stephen Belber’s ‘Tape.’  This week only it is streamable for free.  After that you can buy it through their site.

Commence the horror, please

Posted on: November 29th, 2012 by wmapother 1 Comment

Apologies for the last notice, but a few weeks ago I shot an episode (#2.07)   
of American Horror Story, and I just learned that it airs tonight at 10pm on FX.  Check your local listings, please, etc., etc.

It’s a bit perverse to say this on the heels/toes of such a gruesome show, but Happy Holidays!
