I’m psyched to get this series off the ground. Sunday we will shoot the first episode. Mark Burger of Yes Weekly did a really cool column on the series and describes it better than I ever could.
Get ready, America – The Corporate Assassin is coming for you!
All of us have, at one time or another, worked with or for someone whom we’d like to kill. Someone who never shuts up, or acts like a big-shot, or thinks they’re smarter than they really are. Then there’s the worst of all – the know-nothing, do-nothing boss.
I’ve had a few of those in my time, including one guy whose nickname was the “Lying King,” another guy whose nickname was “Bozo” (probably still is) and the gal who would promote her off-hours endeavors while on company time – when she wasn’t taking two-hour lunches, that is.
Boy, you say to yourself, it sure would be nice to get rid of them, wouldn’t it? (I know I have!)
That’s where The Corporate Assassin comes in. The brainchild of Greensboro-based filmmaker Andy Coon (who made the acclaimed documentary Greensboro’s Child), The Corporate Assassin is a series of short films starring Brian Lee in the title role, that of a fearless and highly skilled killer who makes it his business to put an end to monkey business – permanently.
When the Corporate Assassin downsizes, he knocks ‘em dead. [more...]
The cool thing about the article is it is right above UNCG’s new film series. I know some of my old professors read it. Curious to see if any of them will contact me about it.
I’m casting for future episodes. At the moment this is a non-paid gig but I’m trying to get some sponsors or even pitch it to networks. If this takes off and someone wants this for TV or better yet a feature I always take the people with me who got me there. I’m a firm believer in loyalty.
Submit a comment or better yet use the contact me button on the sidebar and leave me your info.
Thanks

Dude,
I’m not the corporate looking type but if I can help in any way let me know. I ain’t camera shy as long as I keep my clothes on and I’ll even help carry equipment.
