Forty one minutes seems like a very odd running time for any movie. Not really a short film but nowhere near the length of a full feature but that is how long Nightfire is… In the movie we see two American agents retrieve military chips containing top-secret content. But an unexpected political prisoner is picked in the process and turns things a little complicated.
In its short run time the film-makers try to throw in as many twist and turns as possible it seems. But to be fair to them,they do all work. They don’t feel like they have been thrown in there just to shock or just to take the story in another random direction. They all seemed pretty logical,...

"You have something they want, and now they are coming." Hewes Pictures has debuted an official trailer for a short film titled Nightlife, the latest from filmmaker Brando Benetton (American Bullet). This film is barely a "short" as it comes in at 43 minutes, closer to being a "medium-length" film than anything. And it will be available to rent/watch streaming starting May. Two American agents are hired to retrieve military chips containing top-secret content. Their plan goes awry when an unexpected political prisoner enters the picture. Starring Dylan Baker, with Bradley Stryker, Francesco Pannofino, and Becky Ann Baker. Described as a "white-knuckle thriller", this looks like it has some serious urban action to offer. Take a peek. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Brando Benetton's short film Nightfire, direct from YouTube: Two American agents (Lorenzo Pisoni and Greg Hadley) are hired to retrieve military chips containing a large sum of government money.

Lucas Caleb Rooney’s agents may not be thrilled with the benefit he’s throwing next week, but that’s kind of the point. On Nov. 26, Rooney’s organization, Zara Aina, will host its Big Ol’ Fancy Pants Inaugural Benefit at the 52nd Street Project Theater. Funds will help American artists join children in Madagascar to create and tour an original play. Benefit performers include ascendant Broadway hunk Benjamin Walker (the upcoming “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”), Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox (“Doubt”), “Ghost” and “Hair” star Caissie Levy, and Drama Desk Award winner Lorenzo Pisoni (“Humor Abuse”). This glittery lineup speaks to Zara Aina’s roots in New York City theater. Rooney, the artistic director, is on Broadway in “Golden Boy,” and he’s been an Off-Broadway staple for years. Executive director Bryce Pinkham was in “Ghost” and “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” and he co-starred with Rooney in...

Image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/rovie/qotw5.gif Actor Lorenzo Pisoni recently responded (http://www.theatermania.com/new-york/news/03-2009/the-good-humor-man_18092.html) to a humourous comment Dan Radcliffe made about the Equus co-star last year: ---Quote--- *Tm: Is this show more physically demanding than playing Nugget in Equus? LP: *... Those horse heads were nine pounds each, and we were pitched forward in high heels -- except there was no heel. And then to have to carry Dan, even though he's not the heaviest guy in the world, was intense to do for five months. *Tm: Dan put you in the news during the show's run when he said that if he were gay or female, he'd marry you. Do you feel the same way about him? LP:* Ha! If he were wearing platform shoes -- then yes, I would totally love and marry him. But he'd have to wear platform shoes.

Lorenzo Pisoni never had to run away to join the circus; he was born into it. He did once try to run away from it, heading for the highway in his "footie pajamas," as he recalls in his very personal new solo show, Humor Abuse, running Off-Broadway through April 12. For two decades, however, the circus was his life. Since moving into acting, Pisoni has frequently performed Shakespeare at esteemed theatres and recently completed a run on Broadway as the central horse, Nugget, in Equus, but for now he's looking back on what it meant to grow up the son of a clown. Pisoni's parents founded the Pickle Family Circus in 1974 in San Francisco. His father was the ringmaster and chief clown, Lorenzo Pickle; his mother was a juggler as well as the costume designer and executive director. Pisoni made his unofficial debut at age 2, when he entered the ring at...

Daniel Radcliffe has confessed to a gay crush - the actor finds his Equus male co-star Lorenzo Pisoni "gorgeous".
The Harry Potter star finds Pisoni so attractive, he wouldn't hesitate to marry him - if he was homosexual.
He says, "We're getting on very well indeed. I've written some really, really deeply sexual things on some of the cards I've given him for opening night. But just to wind him up, you know.
"He's great. He's a truly remarkable man. You know, if I was gay or a female I'd, well, just want to marry him. He's gorgeous, and he's a really cool bloke as well. He's great."...
