He wrote, produced, directed and starred in a series of TV promos and movie trailers for the Independent Film Channel based on The Bystander from Hell,[1][2] a character he created in a 3-minute short shot on one roll of Super-8 film. The Bystander persona was a compilation of onlookers he dealt with while working crowd control as a production assistant on films and TV shows in Los Angeles and New York City. The Bystander From Hell played at over 50 film festivals, including Sundance and Toronto. Prior to that, he co-starred, co-wrote and co-produced Two Boneheads,[3][4] which won an award at the Szene Salzburg Festival[5] and aired on a PBS series hosted by Jeffrey Lyons.
