The Green Machine tells the story of Jonathan Morton (Matt Folker) and Cecily Fairyskate (Jen Friedman) and their adventure to save the town of Greenville. While reading the town’s paper, Jonathan and Cecily begin to suspect that a magine, a so-called “magic engine,” is behind a series of mysterious occurrences in Greenville.

Spoon Test Factory

Spoon Test Factory (2006) is a short film about Marie, played by Beth Gillin, and Geoff, played by Brian Egendorf (MainFragger), who work in a factory where spoons are tested.

The idea behind the film was to shoot something that was visual and not dialogue-driven. I also wanted to write a script but not actually give the actors a copy of the screenplay. So while significant events in the film are structured, much of what happens on the screen was worked out in rehearsal through solutions the actors arrived at by improvisation. The script was written in Celtx.

The final point that bears mentioning is that Tim and I met Beth, Brian, and Andrew Salerno, the film’s director of photography, at the Philadelphia Filmmakers, Actors, & Screenwriters Syndicate, which is held at Katseye Studio in Philadelphia, PA.
