'The Beard' Trailer Now Online!

I am happy to announce the online launch of the trailer for my latest short film, The Beard. The Beard is a short, dramatic, character-driven film detailing a day in the life of an elderly who has been victimized as a result of his racial appearance, and how chooses to deal with his given circumstances in the aftermath of the event.  Sam Moses stars alongside Ryan Persaud, Philippe Buckland and Jason Mercury.  The production of the film was supported by the National Film Board of Canada and ACTRA Toronto and should be completed by April 2011 where it will promptly be submitted to festivals in the hopes of a promising run.

Special thanks to Kyle Wilson for putting the trailer together and Ryan Enn Hughes for a quick colour pass.  Enjoy!
