A little more than a year after filming began, I finally got to see Virgin Alexander in Albany on Wednesday. My scene lasted probably less than 10 seconds, but I’m sure I’ll win the best supporting actor award in the upcoming Oscars :p.

I jest, but the movie is actually doing well. It won awards at the Black Hills Film Festival in South Dakota, the Las Vegas Film Fest, the DC Independent Film Festival and VisionFest in New York City.

Watch this video interviewing Charlotte Barrett and Sean Fallon, the directors, about bringing the movie back to upstate New York. While you are at it, also watch this video covering the screening in Albany.

Following is a picture of me from the premiere, sporting a rare Virgin Alexander t-shirt!  I brought an entourage of 10 to cheer me on.

So, the moral of the story is that answering an ad on Craigslist for extras can get you a line and close-up in a movie, a free t-shirt, two IMDb credits, a kiss and memories that will last a lifetime.  :p

    If anyone is in Colorado and attending the Crested Butte Film Festival on September 30 or is in Kansas and attending the Kansas International Film Festival on October 03, then be sure to check out Virgin Alexander!
