My film " Deadly Obsessions " is now on YouTube.  It's for mature audiences, so you'll need to open it in your app because it's age restricted.  I figured I put a link here and see if anyone would like to see it.  It's kind of a neo-noir type film.  A lot of the criticism is that it's too talky, but I did try and do a noir type film in the present day.  It's 101 minutes, and if you have time to kill take a look.  It took 5 years to make since I was editing it on film, and I usually got money from working a day job.  Hence the length of the movies completion.  I had some great actors, and you may recognize Rebecca played by Irene Glezos whose been in a number of episodes of Law & Order.  All the actors were great and a big shout out to Karen Stanion , Michelle Verhoeven , and Nick Capous .  Without them the film would not be nearly as good as it turned out to be.  One more add would be to Laundrea Lyn Thomas whose help and dete...

TV ALERT everyone! Irene is on Law & Order this Friday (Nov. 13th). The show starts at 8PM, and Irene plays a wife of a murdered victim I believe. She says it was a great role. SO set your Tivo, VCR's & DVR's to NBC at 8PM to 9PM, and cheer Irene on. I think this is her third appearance in the L&O series, not including her appearance on the series "Conviction" which was a L&O spin-off that was cancelled mid-season. Want MORE IRENE! I know I can't get enough so go on over to practice of artemisia.com . You can see her there too, along with a very talented bunch of other thespians. Go Irene!

I held auditions 4 months before we started shooting Deadly Obsessions. I had originally wanted to shoot sometime in July, but August wound up as a better month for all of us. Before that I looked through hundreds of head shots that were mailed to me after putting a casting notice in Backstage. I found a rehearsal hall in Manhattan near 23rd street, and that's where I held it. My wife, and my father-in-law Sal went with me, and that day we saw a couple of actors. Phyllis set-up a small spread of bagels, and coffee and we began casting early after 9 AM. I had emailed, and/or sent the actors sides of the script. The sides were of two scenes and I was casting for the four main characters. This scene is of Karen Stanion , and Irene Glezos reading. Karen is playing the part of Rebecca, but in the film she plays Lisa. Michelle Verhoeven eventually played Rebecca, and I'll put that audition up next. Since the scene is long I figured I break it up here. I think through this clip you...

In the past few days I've been thinking a lot about film, and filmmaking. I've talked as much about the subject as I can, and it's time to do something. I came across one of " Deadly Obsessions " actresses' web page, and saw that she had several video clips up on her work. Irene has always been an inspiration to me. To say I learned a lot from her is an understatement. I just wish sometimes I could go see more of her work on stage. It's been awhile since seeing her, and just yesterday I took a trip down memory lane and watched the audition tapes I made for the cast of the film. I'd like to post them, but the entire tape is over 30 minutes, and finding the time to digitize and compress the video seems impossiable to schedule, but maybe sometime soon I'll get to it. But I also like to compliment my entire cast in the film. They helped me a lot, and it is because of them that I REALLY want to do another film. I've been thinking about what to do...
