June 2010
Here's a little about a lot that I'm doing this summer (so far):
Jeffrey recently made the news in the papers playing Chaplin's tramp
character for the San Francisco Symphony's screenings of the Gold Rush, where
they performed his original score to the movie:
Jeffrey just wrapped working on the comedy feature "The Chateau Meroux"
directed by Bob Fugger, Jeffrey co-star with Marla Sokoloff, Amanda Righetti,
Barry Watson, Christopher Lloyd and Taylor Negron. Meroux is an indie
romantic comedy for Contradictions Films that follows Sokoloff's character as
she inherits a Northern California winery and all the problems that come with
it.
Also in June, Jeffrey is co starring with Barry Williams (yes, Greg
Brady), Brian O’Halloran and Josef Cannon in the indie feature "Flea" directed
by Suza Bowser, who said Flea is based on an inspired short story
she once wrote. Flea examines themes of tribalism and redemption via
the journey of the title character. Found badly beaten, the mysteriously mute
12-year-old Flea runs away from his trailer park home and joins a group called
the Shadow Clan.
On going this summer, Jeffrey directs and acts as a "Patent Medicine Man"
in an "Old Sacramento Days" living history weekends depicting California life
circa 1870's. Every day will feature roaming entertainers, period
musicians, audience participation Melodramas, Make and Take craft

where all performers and special guests from the audience will gather to
honor the city of Sacramento and the great California Gold
Rush!
