ROGER DODGER, 11 minutes, 1999. The story of a street guy. The first time I had really acted since high school. It was on a different video site for several years and received thousands of views and many positive reviews, including comments about treating street people better in the future. All of the positive feedback gave me the idea to produce a moving female story, and the result is "Cam Girl" below.

She tells about her relationships with men and drugs, and retains hope for a better life ahead. Powerful and moving, it has been screened in 11 cities. During casting, it was said "This is the most difficult script ever written!" It took brilliant acting to pull it off.

Starring Sarah Sands. She is on my
short list to play Leah, though I will
look at others as well.

Why do practice scenes?

We do the practice scenes so I can make dialogue changes if needed, and to make any mistakes BEFORE the big shoot! It also gives the volunteer actors a great demo DVD and good experience, and it lets me network with and get to know potential crew members.

NOTES: The scenes were shot in available handy locations,
without much set decoration, no makeup, and minimal attention to wardrobe,
by volunteer actors. It is important to read the beginning titles to understand
how the scenes fit into the movie. I have put them online for feedback and to
give exposure to the actors. The car scene was shot with my new
Hi Def camera, the others were shot with my old camera .

THE CAR SCENE: Leah has spent a week on Skid Row and she has
called Sam to come and get her. About the half way point in the movie.
Starring Sean Bygrave and Kate Lalane.
