Had such a great time showing Red Velvet at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival! Massive thanks to @circuitartsmv for being such wonderful and generous hosts, to @capecodchronicle for the pre-screening article, to @nikolainikolaeff for making the plane, train, ferry voyage to see our little film on the big screen, and @dolphinslaughterhouse@seansumms@annaleigh_m for being my supportive island entourage ❤️
This little film just keeps on truckin’! A massive thanks to @millvalleyfilmfest for selecting RED VELVET and a massive congrats to the cast and crew for another extra special feather in our cap! Looking forward to meeting you, Mill Valley 🎥
LUCKY
Our feature film in progress…

RED VELVET is now on Omeleto, the BIGGEST and BEST YouTube channel for short films! Go check out the LINK IN BIO, make sure to watch the FULL FILM, and if you’re feeling extra generous, like, comment, share, subscribe! There are countless great films to see on @omeleto
Woah! Didn't realize you could post a full 12 min film on IG (ok boomer). For all those multiple-link, multiple-click adverse folks, enjoy the passive viewing of Red Velvet without lifting a finger 😉
This is the ACTUAL cologne bottle used in the major motion picture Red Velvet. A relic not unlike Dorothy’s ruby slippers or Indiana Jones’ fedora. I’m starting the auction at $5 and the winning bidder will be chosen by Friday at noon PST. All proceeds will be converted to GRANOLA BARS and passed out to the unhoused of Santa Monica. You could fill it with lemon juice, olive oil, a homemade fragrance or your choice, as it’s only ever contained water. Please comment or DM your bid. I will cover shipping cost within the U.S.
A struggling actor’s commute to a callback takes an abrupt detour, thrusting him into an eye-opening LA excursion with an unlikely companion.
Watch “Red Velvet” by Kevin Staake with the link in our bio!

🏆Best Comedy🏆 for Red Velvet @santamonicafilmfestival last night! Thank you so much for the premiere, the award, and the chance to meet so many kind and talented people! Congratulations to the small but mighty squad of cast and crew who pulled this one together ❤️🎂
P.S. the misprint of the award made it all the more fitting for this lemons-to-lemonade short.
