Boogie Boy

Boogie Boy is a dark and exciting independent film I produced in 1997.  I am pleased to announce that it has finally been re-released for the first time on Blu-Ray. The film has been remastered in 4k high definition from the original negative, and looks absolutely beautiful.

See the full cast and crew credits for Boogie Boy on IMDB.

Map of territory of Braddon, Tasmania

Visit My Namesake City

Come visit the beautiful town of Braddon, Australia.  As much fun as it is to tell people this place was named after yours truly, according to Wikipedia, Braddon was name after an Australian legislator named Sir Edward Braddon.  Sir Edward participated in the writing of the Australian Constitution and was the Premier of Tasmania from 1894-1899. Tasmania also has its own area called Braddon.

Apparently, Braddon is also a very hip place to eat.

Sir Edward Braddon and Braddon Mendelson

Braddon, Australia is located on the south-east side of Australia, in a northern suburb of an area called Canberra, and was settled in 1922.

Never Too Busy to Laugh

My children’s book “Have You Seen the Tickle Bug?” celebrates its fifth anniversary this year.

The story of the little purple creature whose sole ambition in life is to make people laugh, is available from Amazon.com and other online retailers.

If you are so inclined, you can purchase a copy here.

Dial ‘M’ for Murder

Braddon Mendelson as Otto Frank in “The Diary of Anne Frank.” (1987)

I’m playing the part of Inspector Hubbard in the 1952 Broadway thriller, “Dial M for Murder.” The play opens tonight, September 27, 2013, at the Canyon Theatre Guild in Newhall and runs through the end of October.

This is the first play I’ve been in in over twenty-five years. (The last being “Diary of Anne Frank” in 1987 — egads, that’s 26 years ago!)

Net’s Best Satire

I was honored to have some of the articles I write for TheSkunk.org included in this great new eBook. According to the press materials, “This collection of media stories brings together some of the funniest, most insightful pieces of parody and sharp irony available. Comprised of nearly 70 individual humor pieces by 28 authors, the book offers a burning critique of everything that happened in 2011.”

Adult content, not intended for readers under the age of 18.

You can get the book for your Kindle or Nook. Only 3.99.

Have You Seen the Tickle Bug?

Zeke the Zookeeper’s prized new insect, the Tickle Bug, escapes from his shiny gold cage at the zoo and sets off on a journey to do what truly makes him happy – tickling people.

Cuckoo Concertos presents its very first children’s book, “Have You Seen the Tickle Bug?” It’s ideal for the K through 4th grade crowd — and perfectly satisfying for the Kindergartener in all of us.

My Dog, Chloe

A film by Braddon Mendelson.

Anyone who has ever loved an animal will be moved by this touching tribute to a furry friend.

A 2007 LA Shorts Fest Selection

REVIEW: “In one of the most heartfelt and emotional pieces of the afternoon, My Dog Chloe deals with the passing of a man’s beloved friend Chloe. Shot days after Mendelson was forced to put his ailing dog to sleep, we get the potent raw emotions, draped in personal testimony and memorable photographic stills. We immediately feel the loss of Chloe and are reminded of the strong emotional bonds between pet owners and their pets.”  — Indie Express
