5-minute proof-of-concept trailer for a proposed feature film

In 2022, my friend and producer Tien Mohan contacted me from Birmingham, Alabama, about a novel by Sabrah Agee that he wanted to adapt into a feature film. Would I be interested in playing Jinx, the female lead?

We decided to shoot a proof-of-concept trailer, with the hope of generating interest and eventually securing funding for the feature. After an initial, unsuccessful round of crowdfunding, we eventually managed to secure a micro-budget, and in April 2023 I headed to Nashville, Tennessee, for the shoot.

What you see here is what we filmed over a single weekend — just two days in Murfreesboro, on a shoestring budget, and with me being terribly ill throughout.

Sadly, Tien passed away before we even started shooting. But this little film — for better or worse — will always be dedicated to him.

For now, sadly, the project has stalled. But perhaps one day, Jinx will get her chance.
