Questions
In the later half of April 2023, I flew out to CA to work closely with Zack on this mainly one man found footage horror film. Over the course of several weeks we shot on locations all over California and Arizona to put this feature together. It was a gift to get to collaborate so closely with Zack and to work on this shoot as both an actor and producer.
Directed by Zack Kampf
Produced by Outlaw Dawn Productions
Missing You
Missing You, filmed in mid August, gave me a lovely chance to deeply dive into a character, as I was the only character onscreen for the duration of the short. Dalton describes the film as: “Set in the suburbs of Arlington, VA in early summer 2020 – during the start of civil unrest in DC – a somber man struggles to get over a woman that he was never that close with. Concurrently a news report plays over describing a local DC man’s participation in a Black Lives Matter march.”
Directed by Dalton Okolo
Produced by 1108 Productions
Starring Max Johnson.
Souls of Black Pebbles
This fantastic project wrapped in February 2021. Director and writer Anthony Green describes it as “a gay horror film about the fear of black bodies, transgenerational trauma, and sexual soul ties.” It was a gift to be part of the cast that brought this beautiful piece of work to life! This production can be found on ielevate platform.
