"Well, mister. You sure drove a long way for an apple pie." This is a wholesome short film that will fill you up with that warm, fuzzy feeling of goodness just like a homemade apple pie. If only we could serve everyone some apple pie when they watch this. Sleepwalk is written and directed by Portuguese filmmaker Filipe Melo, telling a very American story of a man who drives a long way to find some apple pie from a small, dusty town. Why? You have to watch to find out what it all means and why he went all the way there. There's no way to figure it out from guessing before, I am sure of that. Starring Greg Lucey, Durant Mcleod, and Joy Green. There's just something wonderful about this short, besides the plot itself, the extra warm color timing and on-location cinematography. And the lead performance that carries...

Hello everybody, what’s up? You’re listening to the Roobla Podcast with me, Tom Salmon! The show that dives into music, film and games and everything else in between.

My guest on this week’s episode is the actor, standup comedian and storyteller Greg Lucey, the star of the award winning short film Here & Beyond (2019) directed by Colin West.

We jumped into Greg’s film festival experience and how he networks with actors, directors and producers to land his next starring role and what it is like playing the step-father to one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic leading men Keanu Reeves in Destination Wedding (2018).

[Note: With the film finally getying a UK release, 9(!) months since its Us debut, here’s a reposting of our review of the Keanu Reeves/Winona Ryder film Destination Wedding]

Destination Wedding reunites Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder, as the socially awkward Frank and Lindsay. When they meet on their way to a destination wedding, they soon discover they have a lot in common: they both hate the bride, the groom, the wedding, themselves, and most especially each other. As the weekend’s events continually force them together – and their cheerlessness immediately isolates them from the other guests – Frank and Lindsay find that if you verbally spar with someone long enough, anything can happen. When debate gives way to desire, they must decide which is stronger: their hearts or their common sense.

Earlier this month we shared an exclusive clip from J. Van Auken’s high-concept, lo-fi ghost story Revelator, and now we’re back with a new trailer for the film. Starring J. Van Auken, Mindy Rae, Alex Klein, Greg Lucey, Josh Robert Thompson,… Continue Reading →

Another charming short to feature this week (in addition to The Foley Artist). This one is called Celluloid Dreams, written & directed by Jonathan Dillon. It has already played at enough festivals to be qualified for Academy Awards consideration, so we'll see if it makes the cut next year. The film stars Greg Lucey as an old man who puts together a broken projector and rewatches some of the old films he made growing up, discovering that he apparently can change the past while watching them. Or can he? I like the vibe of this film, telling such an emotional story without much dialogue and providing some bit of happiness at the end. Description from Vimeo: "Celluloid Dreams tells the story of an old man who fixes a busted projector to relive home movies of the past, and starts to believe he can change them." The short film is written, directed,...
