Sans Pertinence
Dusty Film Festival & LA Sunset Festival
Yet another great character and another fun film. John plays an Austrian soldier, Johannes Versin, captured by American victors in WWII France. Confronted about his involvement with the death of German jews and in particular, the family of one of his captors Private Berkstein (Evan Hart), Versin hides in the shelter of his own mind to escape the horror of his worst enemy--the noise of war and the lists of Jews he prepared for processing. An intimate look into the emotional realities of war and the identity of a young man who can not identify with Germany. Click here for Still Photos and Quicktime clips.
Just a Couple of Guys
John Cooney and Susan Batson are the co-creators of this new "histogram in motion" about the lives of superstars Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Co-written with Demetrios Kalkanis, the play seeks to tell what happened in the private lives of these two great performers. We all knew Lewis & Martin as a comic duosome but no one has taken such a daring guess at what really happened behind closed...and sometimes open doors.
The brilliance and audacity of these two men is both honored and revealed in this daring show of shows. Soon to be produced in New York City.
Info on Susan Batson can be found here.
