DIRECTED BY JASON REITMAN, STARRING: Jason Carpenter, with Jeff Witzke


7 minutes

GULP (2001)

One man's quest to save his fish. Starring Jason Carpenter, Mary Jo Smith, Jeff Witzke and Heather Brown.  


Co-Produced by Atom Films and Ford (and oh look - the, at the time, new Ford Focus is an integral  part of the short!) this is the third of Jason’s short films.  


A little bit of trivia - I was not originally cast in this short.  But after the actor pulled out last minute, Jason called and asked me to play the Pet Shot Dictator.  I was happy to oblige and I think everyone was excited with the outcome:  A fun, fishy short film.
