David Simpatico, Dramatist

last summer at the world premiere of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, my stage adapation, up at Stage Door Manor. On my left is Bryan Louiselle, my brilliant partner, who adapted the score and wrote two new songs.

Ten variations on a Son coming out to his Father.

This is the second film I made with Matt Brown and Hot Pink Tux. This time we had two cameras and shot over several weekends in multiple locations. Our two actors, Bobby Funaro and Tim Eulich, were fantastic to work with. They worked wonderfully together, especially considering the intensity of some of the scenes.
Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think.

Here is where I’ll post videos of projects I’ve worked on, updates on things I’m writing and other things that might be on my mind (movie reviews, etc.)

A ten minute musical comedy about creating a ten minute musical comedy in two days. This was part of the incredible Raw Impressions festival,which mixed and matched writers, composers and directors, gave us a cast on the spot and two days to write the piece, two days to shoot and a few more to edit. PennySeal Productions produced, everyone was fantastic to work with. Jeff Blumenkrantz wrote wonderful songs, and Lonny Price did a great job directing. All in all, a blast. Please let me know what you think of it.
