LA NOIRE: Cine-Gaming Comes To Town May 17th

Some projects are simply very cool.
Brendan McNamara's LA NOIRE is one of them.
And I am proud to be a part of it.
I play Walter Tyler.

Here's me and the very talented and modest Brendan on set.
I knew while I was making this project that it was ground-breaking and sure enough LA NOIRE was the first VG featured at Tribeca.
This really is a whole new hybrid of Cinema and Interactive Entertainment. I call it "Cine-Gaming."
Here is the official site.

Charles Laughton's "The Night of the Hunter"

"It's a Hard World For Little Things."
Charles Laughton directed only a single film, but he made it count.
This sparse Expressionistic masterpiece is highly recommended.
