Mitch Dickman a former student of mine recently directed released not one but TWP features.
He is one to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing more of his work!
Will (played by Screenwriter William Hahn) who has a quick wit, good education, beautiful wife…and no direction. Schooled as a playwright, he made an apathetic slide into construction work and a passionless marriage. When his wife finds a porn clip on his computer, Will’s real and vividly imagined worlds come crashing together in a battle for his soul. Hahn is joined in the cast by his real-life wife, actor Heidi Hahn, creating a fascinating and fierce onscreen relationship. The cast also features the excellent Karen Slack (winner of best season by and actress), Chris Kelly (star of “Ink”), Chris Kendall, GerRee Hinshaw and Melinda Smart. Directed by Mitch Dickman.
