I had a busy weekend, frankly. No time really to BS or lounge about but for all good reasons… but that’s for another post. Indeed your time is now here as the newest installment of The Hit List goes live, kicking off with a Vimeo-only post of actor Marc Natoli’s latest demo reel, inclusive with snippets from his winning shortfilm debut last year, The Proposal.

The playlist rounds out with some of the best and rising in […]
