That the following actors have agreed to lend their performances to our, as yet untitled feature short.

Geoffrey Wenzla: a man, a life:

In a flurry Geoffrey was blown on stage in 2003 in "The Music Man". For the next 8 years he tittilated audience members with his presence and performed self written pieces that have performed in California and Edinbourgh Scotland. In 2009 Geoffrey made the decision to move into film performance and has never looked back. And one day when the sun is setting low in the west he will be called upon, he is ....

the last Highlander.
