Hoover – Wedding

National Commercial
Network & Cable & Internet

Wow, now this was cool. 250 extras. A chapel and tuxedo parade. The dress took nearly an hour to put on and then as if that wasn’t bad enough, they made me take it off so the bride could wear it for the spot.

Working on this game was an incredible experience. The cast is top notch and the creative minds behind the scenes, the ones that really make the experience worthwhile are amazing. Oh and in case you’re wondering who I am? I’m the ugly bastard at the end… “You… You did this to me!” FUN!!

We also have an animated film coming out at the same time. So look for that as well.

 

Intel – Touch of Genius

National Commercial
30 Second & 2 Minute Spots
Airing Nationally
Still Airing on KCET & Cable

A fun spot shot during the famed writer’s strike. We all improvised the lines during the auditions and then they basically had us say the same thing during the shoot. Knocked it out in 2 hours and they are still airing it today. Love that.

 

Circuit City

National Commercial

Ha! Circuit City. I booked this two months before they went bankrupt. I mean, they were making so many cut backs my pants were three inches too short for the shoot. Thank God they still paid.

A Knight Lost

Written By Tom Tate Directed By Nick Tate
Runtime: 7 Minutes

A Knight Lost has been receiving a lot of kudos from around the short film circuit. Most recently it was honored as one of the finalists in the Now Film Festival here in Hollywood. It was a a lot of fun and an honor to work with my father, Nick Tate on a project we conceived together. A chance to put my writing on screen for the first time has also given rise to some exciting possibilities in my other area of passion. Writing.

 

Netflix – Commercial

A 30 campaign that aired from 2006-2008

This was a blast to work on. My first major commercial and I get landed with an accent and a huge amount of dialogue for 30 seconds. But it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Crew were so cool, the director was hilarious and the sideburns, well the sideburns speak for themselves.
