I Would Like You To Meet "The Actor"

I recently took time out to watch Mike Messier and Skip Shea's unique short film ...

The piece is based on a life story series of events that explores love lost, love found, mistakes made, and redemption.These are themes that any viewer can all relate to because everybody messes up... and sometimes we do get that second chance.


Messier wrote the screenplay based on a series of events in the relationship of The Actor David Graziano and Christine Perla playing his Muse  The third cast member. is The Actor’s coach.  As it's center Graziano does a great job holding your attention as he recalls highs and lows of his tale. He effectively conveys a range of emotion in the piece and shares nice interplay with Porter. Having already seen Graziano in both Christopher Di Nunzio's Under the Dark Wing and Chris Esper's Still Life I knew he had the chops.

The cinematography by William Smyth is the Short's other star--making some interesting choices-getting the most from this three person gem pictorially

The Actor tells it's familiar story in a unique way and in a setting you would not expect...A fine morsel of cinema.
