Midnight Rider - A short film
I recently published my short story collection American Death Songs. "Midnight Rider," starring Ryan Hurst (Opie from Sons of Anarchy), is a filmed monologue of the collection's opening short story, the tale of a stoned man being chased by the cops when he lets the radio decide his fate. It's a funny, sad, weird ride. Directed by Nina Corrado, music by Blake Neely.

Role: writer, executive producer

Fucking awesome. I can tell just by the sound design that this is a video I'm going to watch several times.

Loved it. But which song by the Carpenters came on?
