The road to getting your own films made the way you want is a tough one,
and in the meantime it is always good to work on other productions. Derek
is doing just that. He just booked a small speaking role in the upcoming
film I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, based on the NY Times
bestselling novel by Tucker Max. Derek will play a small role
along side the main characters, with filming beginning this month. The
movie is set for release in 2009. Be sure to check out the book, but be
warned, it is not for youngsters. Derek is also gearing up to shoot some
small productions soon, all the while starting on his next script and
possibly the Innocent's Way novel. As for the Innocent's Way
film project and other features Derek is working on, they are coming
along smoothly and at great speed. Filming recently wrapped on first
time director Brad Maule's film, (title pending), in which Derek played
the lead role of Dusty. Also starring in the film are Rachael Magill as
Carla, Dusty's wife, Tristan Johnson as Billy, their son, and Brad Maule
as Orson, Dusty's father. This film is also set for release in 2009.

Reporter in the upcoming feature film Beyond a Reasonable Doubt,

The film is to be released in 2009.
