What is “The Final” about?
“The Final” is about the ignition of repressed teenage rage. The smallest act of passive or deliberate aggression used to taunt and humiliate can be amplified in the mind of its victim. It can be skewed to the point of horrific repercussion. The mind internally subdues persecution for a time. Then what? The Victim’s heightened sense of torment can only be put to rest with an erratic, emotional state of justice. The victim becomes the assailant, whose rage is ignited by a distorted sense of reality, taking revenge in his or her own hands. Just a few things you need to have in a suspenseful horror movie about some high school kids.
Who is your character?
Bradley is a 17-year-old high school student; the alpha male of his crew. He entertains himself with play. Whether it’s with girls, his best friends, or the so-called losers of this story, Bradley is just having some fun being in control. When this control is taken from him, Bradley shows another side of himself that is both vulnerable and innocent.
How was your overall experience making the film?
Having the opportunity to perform and the experience of doing what I love is my greatest joy. I had the best time being a part of this hardworking, talented team of filmmakers. Whether on location or in the studio at Agora I was always taken care of. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and work ethic of the crew and cast alike.
What was it like working with a first time Director?
Joey trusted me to take on the role of Bradley. Joey led his cast of actors with tact, unflinching stoic professionalism. I was expected to do the job I was hired to do. No excuses. To gain this Director’s trust and confidence during this film was an honor.

How was your experience on set?
This experience is one I will cherish forever. I fully believe that with all the talented people we had working, this is a film you cannot easily forget, and that should be recognized. I also think it's more than just a horror flick for teenagers. I think that everyone brought so much more to the project than anyone expected, so that it hits a tighter string. I wish everyone the best, and they all deserve no less!
What was it like working with the Producer?
Ah, Jason...Jason is everybody's guy. He's the guy that when he walks into the room, everything is at ease.
