The hits keep coming, as @alongroadtotao just won Best US Feature Film at the Atlanta Movie Awards.

The awards are great, but they pale in comparison to the reactions. It’s been magical to witness the spirit of this film evoke tears at Q&As, family members telling me the film helped them live with less fear, and Hospice and AIDS charities now using it in their work. There is truly something special in the heart and soul of this film that is giving it reach well beyond what’s expected from a small independent film.

You can view A Long Road to Tao on @primevideo or the new @storietvapp . If you haven’t seen it yet, grab some popcorn and some tissues.

And stay tuned. I have a surreal story coming about a 40-year-old surfboard and what I believe was a message from the beyond from Rick, the surfer my character was based on.

Have you seen it? Tell me what it stirred up for you.

A Long Road to Tao was intense and beautiful to be a part of. I lost about 30 pounds to play a mystical surfer facing the end of his life during the AIDS epidemic.

This scene takes place around a fire while my character, Lance, smokes tobacco and prays — thanking the people he loves, asking forgiveness, and saying he is not afraid to die.

The full scene is over on my Substack, and next week I’ll be doing a live interview there with writer/producer Michael Allen, who lived the heart-wrenching story that inspired the film.

Beyond the honor of portraying the writer/producer’s late best friend, it was also a way of working that was incredibly fulfilling. We were told the “script was a blueprint” and trusted to live inside our characters and reshape dialogue at times.

This scene is a combination of that process — words written by me on location as we prepared, along with poetry by Michael Allen from his internationally acclaimed book The Tao of Surfing, which inspired the film.

It’s one of the moments from my acting work that I’m most proud of.

If you’d like to see the full scene, the link’s in my bio.

BEYOND excited to share that A LONG ROAD TO TAO @alongroadtotao screens at the Marina Del Rey Film Festival on Saturday, June 21 at 12 noon!!!

It’s a heavy story…I lost over 30 lbs to play the writer/producer’s best friend—a surfer dying of AIDS in the late ’80s.

I’ll be flying in from NYC and it would mean the world to see friends in the audience. If you’re free on the 21st, come down to the Culver Theater at noon…you’ll still have your afternoon and evening free!

Hit the Linktree in my bio (we’re BLOCK P) for tickets. Hope to see you there!
