I'm thrilled to be counted among the year's best at NewFilmmakers Los Angeles's "Best of NFMLA Awards." The Duel has been nominated for Best Short Film - Documentary, an honor I couldn't be more proud to share with my friends at the RISK! podcast and my unbelievable cast & crew. Now...what to wear on the red carpet?
This Saturday night, The Duel will enjoy a special screening as a part of RISK!'s monthly live show in Los Angeles at Bootleg Theater. Hosted by Beowulf Jones, (The Andy Dick Incident, Nerdist) the event will feature the luminary talents of storytellers Max Landis (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Chronicle) Hank Chen, (Home Again, Transparent) John-Michael Bond, (The Hard Times) Robin Reiser, (Last Comic Standing, The Pretty One) & Frank DiPalermo. (The Option Of The Coat) I'm thrilled to showcase this film on a live stage, where I feel the performer's potential to transform the room through their confessional narratives can have a truly healing effect on the audience. Special thanks to Beowulf Jones, Kevin Allison & the RISK! LA team for the invitation!
