Corpse Man!

A film produced and directed by Bill Parker of Hindsight Media for the Boston 48-hour Film Festival. The cast and crew was comprised of a group of awesome folks who work in education and technology, including my BFF Frank Devito. I worked on the screenplay and had a bit role. The rest of the talented crew/cast included Bill’s daughter, Quentin, Lew Warren, Deidre Collins, and Richard Pilcher.

One day I hope to teach at the castle!
