Director Statement

Boondoggle is one of the funniest short scripts I've ever read. Dark, absurd, quirky and deeply bound to human tragicomedy. The writing excited me. It motivated me to shoot. There was another overwhelming motivating factor, Boondoggle, is also written by an actor. These three things are great things. I hope they remain firmly manifested in the film. I also wish to thank everyone involved for their generosity. A special thanks goes to Belinda Small, Liz Harper and Vuk Mikic. I hope you will be endeared by Boondoggle as much as I have.
