And Now For Something Completely Different... LONDON BELOW

So all yesterday I am talking film music... Scores vs soundtracks... Solo artists vs bands and just like clockwork Moon Kitty chimes in and suggests that I look into several of her more musically inclined friends. She emails me a ton of links to different bands and one of them just effing ROCKED!!! So much so did they have that goth-emo-crazy-cool-hard vibe that I had to (out of curiosity) reach out to them!!! I mean when I heard LONDON BELOW (who can be found and friended on Facebook and other social media) I started trippin' a little... Okay I lie... I was trippin' a lot!

In the overall scheme of the film I am creating there are major visual sections that could use music like theirs and most of the people who have worked with me before know I don't mind mixing styles or genres to get the effect I need both visually and acoustically.

Hmmm... Not to give my age away but what if The Cure, Billy Idol, and Marilyn Manson had a love child? I figure it would look, sound, and feel something like LONDON BELOW

Listen to this West Coast band playing "GO" @ Bar Sinister and tell me they ain't something a little different and a lot fresh!

Introducing JEFFERSON "DJ" SANDERS as E. La Flabian

DJ (as his friends call him) was a true find. He is a local talent and neighbor of mine who has expressed interest in the arts especially acting from a young age. He has a sharp and edgy presentation to his performance that can only be gain in an urban environment BUT don't be fooled because he has played various roles. Some of those roles include a detective in a recent horror film, a soldier, a cameraman, and even a dancing sailor on HBO's Sex And The City. He was also in HBO's Undefeated with John Leguizamo.

Prop Master, Set Designer, & Actor M.J. TOONE Tackles The Role Of Andy Baxter In THE P.A.C.T.

Mark J. Toone is more of a production person at heart although he is very interested in on camera work. Mark started his "Acting / Theatrical" activities as the guy who was rarely seen... starting as a puppeteer as a teen-ager in the mid-70's to the early 80's. In the beginning he entertained children and the elderly in Church and hospice venues bringing cheer, thought, reminiscence and morals through marionettes, hand puppets and miniature set designed presentations. A "walking one-man-stage" with various vocal skills led him to work in children's publishing and educational media for adults which led to trade show set up and logistics. Props and details were required for the behind the scenes work. He focused on fashion set up and wardrobe in the NYC/NJ area for runway shows

Currently, he has done extra-work in film and television. A protester in "The Dictator" (Sasha Baron Cohen), A dancer in "Musical Chairs" (out in 2012), a reveler in "New Year's Eve" (with dreads), "English-Vinglish" (Bollywood) as the "annoyed guy in line" plus a gambler during a hold up, a by-stander to a murder in "Person of Interest", and several court scenes in "The Good Wife".

Her skills as a multi-linguist phenom was put to the test when she was recently asked to translate part of the script for THE P.A.C.T. into Portuguese. Amazingly her career in acting and the arts got a late start because it wasn't until the end of 2003 that Ileana made the decision to become an actress. As an actress she started getting small acting opportunities in 2004 that lead to bigger roles. Luck and good fortune were on her side because she has already made her debut on the big screen in NYC in 2009. She can also be seen in a film that was screened at the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2011.

And Our Tobey Tamara is... MARIA PAGOULATOS

After searching for a long time to find the right actress a series of headshots were mailed in and the producers were immediately enamored with MARIA PAGOULATOS. Quoting one of the producers "She had the right look in her eyes!" So I agreed and I was not disappointed. She is true to the art form. Skilled at improvisation and able to adjust comfortably to all cast members and situations on screen. Maria as an actress has the likability of Sandra Bullock with the appealing curvature of a Greek Jennifer Lopez. Her bio below speaks for itself. Be sure to catch her as Tobey Tamara in THE PA.C.T. this Spring.

Maria's Bio

Upon taking time off to pursue her MFA in creative writing and teach literature at the City College of New York, Maria returned to NJSDA in 2009 to finish the theater program. She discovered her true passion is to act. Maria loves delving into and discovering the characters she portrays. Her background consists of theater, film and improv. Having mostly done theater, she has performed in Anna In the Tropics (Marela), Prelude to a Kiss (Rita), and Sex With Censor (Woman), among others.

Maria enjoys the rush of adrenalin the theater provides as well as the fulfillment and beauty that film offers. Her gratitude lies toward her mentors and directors, especially Bob Sapoff, Beth Baur, Gary Lynch and Maury Ginsberg.
