post-production.
The
short, three character film "Social Bliss" was accepted into the 2nd
annual Wildwood
By The Sea Film Festival this past September, 2008. Congratulations
to independent film makers Victor and Archie Burdiladze! Peter played
the
lead role of John, a plumber. Also to be noted is the fact that
filmaker
brothers, Victor and Archil, originally hail from the small country of
Georgia which has been in the news quite a bit over the past year. (See
a short clip on Peter
Quentin Smith's
reel.)
In
the short, four character film "One Way", by Jameshed Usmanov, Pete
expertly
flips open a "butterfly" knife and drives it under the chin of one of
his
captors. It is a short yet quite extraordinary little piece of movie
magic
performed by a hardworking team - kudos to the director, crew, and and
make-up artist. Without giving too much away I'll just say
"watermellon"
and "fake teeth". Have a quick look for yourself on Peter
Quentin Smith's
reel. By the way, this movie was actually shot way back in October
of 2006. Goes to show, never give-up hope on the possibility of a
project
being completed!
Peter
was the body double for Donnie Duetsche from "The Big Idea", in two
'promos'
for the show. Pete quickly studied Donnie's walk and mannerisms on-set,
and, as he exits an elevator, walks down a hallway, and steps onto a
soapbox
you would never guess it was Pete and not Donnie. Pete said the best
part
was wearing Donnie's expensive suit; but contrary to popular belief, he
did have to return it when the shoot was finished.
Peter
played the role of Norman, the dad of a somewhat odd, but loving family
that owns and runs a small hotel, in Alex Lamm's sitcom pilot
"Checked-In".
Currently being edited in NYC.
Peter
recently played the role of movie producer HARVEY
WEINSTEIN in the short film "Queenie"
by Will Harper, of Ithaca Pictures, NYC.
In
Eric Eskenazi's ongoing trilogy "Meshuggeneh", Peter plays the role of
Bixby
Mocherie, a disfunctional father who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome
and
is haunted by the abuse that he has inflicted upon his daughter in his
earlier days. A frustrated singer-songwriter who can only communicate
through
strumming his guitar while making up somewhat non-sensical lyrics, Pete
says it's a perfect role for him. Producer Eric Eskenazi has plenty of
goodies related to this film and some of his others, on his website www.GumGroveFilms.com
Peter
played the lead role of "Michael," a man who dies and begins his
"after-life" in which he must reconcile with turbulent situations of
his past, in Jared Mezzocchi's multi-media original, "The One Stoplight
In Hollis". A week of live performances on stage at Fairfield
University, which had Peter and his angel "Sophia" played by Tess
Brown,
"jumping" in and out of Michaels "past" on large film screens. Every
show was sold-out and the project and performannces received rave
reviews! See a moving scene of "Michael" with his son "Martin" in the
kitchen, on Peter
Quentin Smith's reel.

in a reading of George Romaine's cutting edge play "The
Society For Saving Men" performed at The
Dramatist's Guild, NYC, on January 16th, 2008.
Peter
played the role of the "Director" in Monroe Mann's, "Origami
Deathmatch" - a hilarious comedy/spoof filled with lots of upcoming
NYC stars. (See a short clip on Peter
Quentin Smith's
reel.)
Alex
Staniloff's short film "Stop The Music", has been completed and is
ready
for the festival circuit. The film is a story about love, and how a
young
man wakes up one day and can't seem to get the sound of music out of
his
head. Pete plays the role of "the Doctor" who the young man goes to see
for help. By the way, in real life Pete is actually an EMT, but those
skills
were not needed for this role. (See a short clip on Peter
Quentin Smith's
reel.)

ROOM C"
