Consumed in Darkness is a feature-length film produced in 2014 by ColemanFilms and 3AM Productions. It’s the story of a mob enforcer bent on revenge. I play a scheming strip club owner.
This was my first Craigslist audition, and it turned into a six-year collaboration.
The Coleman brothers—Vince and James—are a fun crew. It took them a while to grasp the importance of food on an all-day shoot. Snacks were nonexistent unless you count protein powder. I started calling them the Swole-men Brothers, mostly in honor of their bulging forceps.
They were in their early twenties, and had finished their first feature: a mob enforcer avenges his twin brother’s death. It had solid fight scenes, car chases—visibly constrained by legal and safety concerns, but almost convincing—a duffel bag full of expensive fake guns (including a hilariously over-the-top automatic pistol), and beautiful sweeping drone shots of Rochester that looked like postcards. Local radio personality Brother Wease played the police chief. They even had real police cars and access to a jail for location shots.
What it needed was an establishing story. And, apparently, some brief nudity.
