Dennis Larkin is an actor/writer/director who was born into a theatrical family which goes back three generations. His father is a past president of Local 1 the IATSE union for Broadway stagehands. Dennis had his first job at the age of 15 working backstage on Broadway.
Dennis holds a BFA in musical theatre from the Boston Conservatory and an MFA in filmmaking from the New York Film Academy.
He has completed writing his first feature film HACKING HOLLYWOOD. The story follows Dannee Jordan, a popular Drag Performer (a la RuPaul), who stages a reality show competition in the Hollywood Hills. The first contestant to reach the Hollywood Sign wins a reality show of their own. As the contestants begin being killed off, one by one, Dannee becomes the prime suspect.
Dennis plans to begin production on HACKING HOLLYWOOD in fall 2016.
"The Big Bite" was a Production Workshop for film school that I shot as a potential pilot for a web series.
My Directing instructor asked us to pitch a scene to shoot that involved a conversation between two characters in an Interior vehicle location. The only other requirement was to stay within a $300 school allocated Production Budget.
There was a location, near where I was living at the time in Harlem, that I loved and always wanted to use for an Exterior shoot. And the least expensive vehicle to use was the crew van.
With all those ingredients I imagined a seedy scenario between a Hooker and her Trick and "Dientes" was born.
Dientes is a trans "serial biter" who trolls the City for male victims at various cruising locations to add trophies to her pickled penis collection.
There was a final scene which involved Dientes sprouting wings and sort of flying away down the pedestrian bridge she first appeared on. Unfortunately, the inclement weather and safety issues prevented us from shooting that scene.
