Monkey Business Endeavors

After seeing real-life magician Eric Mead perform on television, the illusionist character in Anomaly was written to emulate him. After being sent the script, much to our surprise, he agreed to fly out from Colorado to make his acting debut as The Great Van Alden in the film. Shot entirely in the historic Cohoes Music Hall, the multi-festival-winning short is a love letter to the magical craft, and the feeling of wonder that you get when you witness something impossible.

The opportunity that started it all - I was the first person to adapt Stephen King's short story "The Monkey" into a film. Created under the confines of King's "Dollar Baby" contract, the hour-long movie can't be publicly available on the internet. Special screening permissions required.
