Dear Subscribers,

The Exalted, the satiric short film I wrote and produced with fashion designer Viktor Luna, is now available for the masses to view on youtube! Check out the 15 minute film here, and please share via social media and comment!

Marise's mother always told her, "Sometimes you have to bring people down in order to raise yourself up." And that's what she did. But does Marise have enough ruthless ambition to become "exalted"? This black comedic short film is a parable for modern times.

For this film, we had the honor of collaborating with Kate Hodge (The Good Wife, White Collar, Blue Bloods...), Ashley Rebecca King (of the critically acclaimed cabaret duo Portz and King), and Rosina Fernhoff (Obie Winner, Snow People). This was also my second collaboration with producer Susan Hunt, an excellent filmmaker in her own right, who worked with us on post-production. (Susan was a producer on For Francis.)

I also must give credit to the great musicians who contributed to this project, including Meg Cavanaugh, one of my oldest friends from way back doing children's theatre at Town Hall in Dayton, Ohio....Meg is now a jazz/rockstar in London, England. Look at us all grown up!

I hope you enjoy the movie, subscribers, and please share and comment!

Onward,

David G Beck
