I had a second chance the “Depeche Mode Jeopardy Holiday Special”, promoted by Ron Rohm from the Depeche Mode Global Fan Group coordinated with the always incredible Jenna Robbins, and competing against two strong participants: my fellow “Spirits in the Forest” co-star Dicken Schrader of DMK and Brent Meyer from Strangelove the Depeche Mode Experience. And while we’re at it, the Home website now also has a group along with the already existing FB page.
If you followed this far, I left off on July 23rd, 2018, the day we had the “hard wrap” of filming my scenes and I went off to see the first of the two concerts later that evening. Being part of that crew, even if for 4 days, I couldn’t help but share their feeling of accomplishing a long and hard job around the world. This would be the first of two times I felt that in 3 days.
So now I’m already one day behind my original plan of following the events of July 2018. But who cares? Sunday, the 22nd had a lot more action in front of the cameras. Another groundhog day starting with more scenes …
So I’m running a little late with my 2nd anniversary retrospective. Guess what? Most of that Saturday, July 21st, was about me running up and down all over town. All of the outdoor running scenes were filmed that day. But …

I decided to take a quick look back at what was the entire experience like for me. I’ll try to post for a few days on a row until we finish this July 25th. The D-day, or maybe I should call it the DM-day.
I’m about to just link to another interview, but this one is very special, cause it was for my dear friend Jenna Rose Robbins, whom I managed to sneak into a quick cameo in the film (well, we spent almost an entire day filming, but in the end you see her for some 6-10 seconds, blame the editing).
I got asked a lot these past few weeks how does it feel to see yourself on the big screen. I didn’t have a proper answer until last Wednesday. I had only seen “Spirits In The Forest” once and it …
I was just thinking the other day I’ve been a fan for 20 years now. I’d pin point my turning point sometime in January, 1999. I had seen the “Only When I Lose Myself” video and the 1998 Cologne show …
Is this thing on?… Testing, 1, 2, 3. Testing. Ok (thumbs up), all good. Well, where do I start? Some of you may know me, some may not; some may know me personally, some only virtually (although I do promise …
