Appear On Short Film For HBO Sport
This is a 3-5 minute short being produced under the AFTRA Network Code for New Media. It will be shown on Youtube, iTunes and HBO.com.
This sports comedy takes a look at race in sports-why do certain ethnicities seem to dominate certain sports over others? Concept of short: secret footage has been unearthed from a 1959 meeting, which reps of different ethnicities decided which race would dominate each sport for all time. Shot in the vein of 'Wag the Dog' (scene with Robert DeNiro convincing Dustin Hoffman to direct) or a funnier version of 'Grump old men'.
