Data Center Chronicles

So, earlier this week, www.wantyourlifeback.com went live. The website is a part of a marketing campaign for Brocade Communications. The website contains 4 different "webisodes", called the Data Center Chronicles, centering around the ideas of 3 employees about their ideal day off. I play their hard-ass boss. Of course, consistent with most IT bosses, my performance comes complete with a highly exaggerated Indian accent. I'm going to have to remind people that I am capable of giving a decent performance WITHOUT the indian accent. LOL..

The project was a lot of fun to shoot. The actors involved had a lot of fun together filming this thing and the director/creative team were really good about letting us improv on set which is always fun. The webisodes were directed by Amer Tadayon who runs a company called Render Films Digital Studios. Render Films has got offices in both Scottsdale and LA. They've got a lot of cool and exciting projects in their pipeline and I can say, unequivocally, that the Phoenix market is very fortunate to have guys of this caliber in this town.

On a personal level, I'm fairly excited about the Data Center Chronicles. I've been involved in some feature projects that have distribution and are available via mainstream outlets like Netflix and Amazon. But, from an exposure point of view, the Data Center Chronicles offers the most potential of all the extraordinary projects I've worked on. So, yeah, I was fairly pumped when this site came out. :) So, if you haven't checked it out, please go to http://www.wantyourlifeback.com/. And, if you genuinely enjoy the webisode, please use the feedback link in the lower right corner of the page and say so! :)
