"A Bit of Counseling" voted "Most Popular Film" in Australia's Over the Fence Film Festival!

I'm super chuffed (that's a good thing) to announce that "A Bit of Counseling," the short comedy film I co-wrote and directed with Richard Kuhlman, just won its fourth prize: "Most Popular Film" at the Over the Fence Film Festival in Australia! Thanks to Festival Co-Directors Deanna Whyte and Greg Coffey, and everyone in Oz who voted for our little laffer!

Over the Fence Film Festival opened in Perth in 2009, then toured the country with their film selections. For info on their next festival, check them out at Over the Fence Film Festival.

AT&T Commercial with Luke Wilson

Look for me (don't blink) in the AT&T commercial where Luke Wilson stands in the middle of the field, surrounded by people holding up their cell phones. That's me, standing just behind the person behind his right shoulder! The camera pulls waaaaaay back to reveal the entire country, lit up by AT&T phones. But I'm in there!

"Parks and Recreation" Shoot

Had a great time shooting the role of "Deb" on the season finale of "Parks and Recreation." I play a townsperson asking a question in the very first few minutes of the show. Great fun improv-ing a bit with Amy Poehler, on a very professional and fun set. Check back here for the air date!
