RAAAAAAR! Que pasa compadres? H-Man comin to ya from Maryland, been chillin poolside all weekend with my homie Pearson. Much needed calm after the most unhealthy and insane New York and Montreal trip. My homegirl Katia just hit me with the trailer for her film that i acted in 2 years ago, "One of a Kind"...It traces the story of a compulsive unlucky gambler, Jimmy K (played by moi) and how he puts everything he loves on the line to feed his habit. Trailer is super well cut, image is superb (and not even HD!), and its just altogether...badass. Unfortunately the final cut of the film has been plagued by some sound problems, but hopefully that'll be resolved someday soon. The movie was a PLEASURE to work on, so many laughs, and i swear i had to smoke so many cigarettes for scenes (even though I was a heavy smoker anyways then) that i thought i was literally going to stop breathing. Working on that also taught me how to play poker well enough that i was able to wipe Dave (who played Farah, and quite the seasoned poker payer) off the fuckin table on poker night just a week later! This was written and directed by my good friend Katia Spivakova, one of the most talented people i've been able to work with (remember "The Life and Times of Arthur Penn" for LP? haha), she gave me a chance to act (plus in a COOL fuckin role) in front of the camera. Remember her name cause one day you're gonna be sitting at the cinema, and you're gonna read HER name on the screen, directly underneath "Directed by"...also, big ups to Dominique Hess, Dave Schalm, Chigba Njokanma, Caroline Combs, and, who all played in or worked on "One of A Kind", and all did a beautiful job. Below is the magnificent trailer and a few shots from the set!
