WATCH: Jill Larson's Cameo In 'Manhattanites'

In the summer of 2006 I co-wrote a screen play, Manhattanites, and served as executive producer when we shot it that fall as a full-length indie film. In June 2009 we released the movie on DVD. The opening minutes of the film feature a hilarious cameo by longtime ALL MY CHILDREN star Jill Larson (Opal Cortlandt). Watch it below:

Manhattanites DVD - On Sale Now!

My very first feature film, Manhattanites, is now available for purchase. Starting today you can buy the DVD here. We will be adding Amazon, Netflix and other options over the next few days and weeks.

The film stars a number of familiar soap actors and you can catch Ilene Kristen, Forbes March and more on "Stardish Radio" tonight at 10pm ET.

Here's a preview of the stories in the film:

Marilyn Marsden (Ilene Kristen, ABC's ONE LIFE TO LIVE) is an entertainment lawyer representing up and coming artist Matt Malone (Forbes March, MUTANT X). Everything in her life is just right, with a prominent career and her engagement to Family Focus Magazine Editor-in-Chief Blake Whitney (Lev Gorn, HBO's THE WIRE).

Gretchen Styles (Caroline Hay, The Trial of Jack) is a waitress at a seedy midtown diner. Her dreams of a career as a television news reporter are fading until a chance encounter with anchorman Kyle Carpenter (Aiden Turner, ABC's ALL MY CHILDREN) changes her whole world.

Hannah Richards (Newcomer Tasha Guevara) is a secretary at TM productions and spends her days planning her perfect wedding. She has a job she enjoys, is engaged to the man of her dreams and thinks the world is a beautiful place. In her rose-colored eyes, everything is falling into place just as she planned.

But are things always as they seem? In a city of 8 million people...
are we living in mere coincidence? What is coincidence?

Featuring hilarious appearances by Alex McCord (BRAVO's THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK) and Jill Larson (ABC's ALL MY CHILDREN).

Manhattanites Set Photos, Part 1

As the May 6 DVD release date approaches for Manhattanites, I'll be posting some photos from the set. Some are stills and others are just actors having fun between takes.

In this still, Aiden Turner is in character as the obnoxious anchorman, Kyle Carpenter.


In another still, Ilene Kristen's character, entertainment lawyer Marilyn Marsden, is being interviewed on what suspiciously looks like a WPVP microphone from the ALL MY CHILDREN set.


This photo was shot between takes and features Forbes March having fun with magician Johnny Blaze.
