At this imagination factory, it all starts with the writing
Welcome to Triple Action Studios …
The creative process works in mysterious ways. For example, I recently appointed myself CEO and creative director of the creative studio I just created.
Longtime partner in rhyme Chris Elliott and I create works for stage and screen. Feature presentations include “Someday Dies” (scenes below from the Players’ Ring Theatre in Portsmouth, NH) and “Addicted Idol” — a musical comedy satirizing reality TV, recently presented as stage readings at Revolution Stage Company in Palm Springs, Calif.

My new short film: “Bicycle Time Traveler.”
A time-traveling bicyclist perched atop a “penny-farthing” invites you to ride along for a 360-degree tour of his 400-year-old city by the sea. Time moves at wharf speed in this slow-motion visual poem celebrating the wonders Portsmouth, NH. (Featured in the 2024 New Hampshire Film Festival)
I “discovered” him when I was 16 — he was rocking York Beach, Maine, with his band Bizarre Substance — and I knew instantly that I wanted to create with him someday (note: he has that effect on people).
We’ve been at it for a while now … but our recent hijinks have set the stage for life-changing creative adventures. I’ve never felt more alive than when preparing for and performing in “Somebody Dies” with Kent Klineman, Constance Witman & Co. at the Players’ Ring Theatre.
Keepin’ it Reel (video clips) …
This was soooo much fun! … doing a 26-minute live set as a featured artist at the monthly Beat Night held at Book & Bar in Portsmouth, NH. Organizer Mike Nelson encouraged me to promote “A Man of Remarkable Restraint,” my first novel.
Live storytelling: “I Sold a Piece of My Childhood Today” started as a reflection on how my 14-year-old self’s investment in baseball cards is helping 60-year-old me pursue my dreams as a creative artist. This video is from Long Story Short, a live storytelling event held at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH.
