I thought about the Doritos - Crash the Super Bowl 2013 video for an entire year because of last year's video success which you can view below. No I didn't win the million dollar prize but the video went viral which brought in a nice amount of money and a bit of recognition. However, my goal is to win the grand prize. Will it happen this year? You be the judge. By the way do you recognize the cast? Those crazy people are my family. I want to give them a special warm thanks for being a part of my idea.

Perfect Excuses is a short film about a man who meets a woman at a bar, walks her to the front door and pleads desperately to get in.
This film was written and test shot in 2009. However, it wasn't until 2011 that I met Andre Hereford who helped me revise the script and film it. Along with myself, Melanie Torres is the actress.
Fun Facts:
The entire film was shot in front of Andre's home.
We finished the last scene at 4:47am right before dawn.
Melanie and I are trained salsa dancers who used to dance at the Copa together.
The original score used was a Cha Cha Moon River by Henry Mancini.
The crying baby is my daughter. She was only 3 months at the time and was not on set.

| It's A Wrap!!!
Yesterday my entire family helped me film next years Doritos Crash The Super Bowl 2013 commercial. My mom, step father, wife, son and daughter joined me for one of my ideas to see if we can win a chance to work with Michael Bay & possibly win a million dollars. My brother & friend were also on set to help me film & entertain the kids during the break. | |
For the record I want to publicly thank everyone for going on this journey with me. I uprooted the entire family to accomplish this goal and for the most part things went smoothly. There is still a lot that has to be done but I can't wait to start nibbling away at this video because I have everyone I love in it.
Thank you so much.
Well like I said there is still a lot left to be done but If you haven't seen my Doritos Crash The Super Bowl 2012 video from last year please enjoy that until I am finished with the new one.
