Last night Vinnie “the barber” & I went out to watch local actress (& friend) Hannah Morgan do her thing on the set of “Modern Dating“; a project consisting of several webisodes shot and directed by Obie Arizugo. Little did we know we’d get our “big break” being cast as extras along side many of Austins up & coming stars! Your boy even got a couple lines (read:ONE line) to say for his big moment in the lime light,haha. All jokes aside it was a great time and there were many talented & funny people on set. Shouts to Bak, Angela, Kenny & the rest. Vinnie Chase watch your back!!

TONY LUGO for Lugotron Pictures
This Austin born, LA transplant has one thing on his mind: success. He is the visionary director of numerous music videos & short films, including “Kill or Love” starring Dwight Ewell of Chasing Amy and Dogma fame. With credits as a production designer & screenwriter, he is currently finishing up two projects and gearing up to enter the 09 SXSW film festival.

*Included above is a “spoof” clip of a commercial for a non-existent grindhouse style movie…maybe with enough demand, he’ll actually make it!
