For Your Consideration: The Jump

Tonight’s Oscar Night, so it feels like a good time to tell you about my friend Ryan Serrano’s short film – The Jump.

Since my friends & family screening, it’s been making the short film circuit. I was blown away, but « Levar Burton Voice » don’t take my word for it!
