MIKE FRESTA
(Actor/Writer)
Other than producing original films, Blank Productions is also dedicated to promoting local talent in the New York/New Jersey area. This week we'd like to promote Mike Fresta from Pitman, New Jersey! Mike Fresta is an Actor/Writer who graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in the Theatre Arts. Having worked with Mike on a number of projects, director Ryan Polukord can say that his talents as a writer and actor exceed all expectations. Ryan has directed Mike in his film Danger Zone and Mike has directed Ryan in his most recent play Red All Over.
Mike Fresta has stayed active in the performing arts for a number of years now. Mike was selected to star and write in Robert Woodruff's Past Tense (2010). The following year he premiered his one-act Switch 96 at the University. He wrapped up his senior year at Montclair State University as one of the head writers of 2011's award winning play, Dis Connect where he also played a supporting role. Soon after graduation, his one act Switch 96 was picked up for Manhattan Repertory Theatre's Winter One Act Competition. That same year, Mike completed a new stage play entitled Red All Over, which was selected for the Winter Madness Festival at Roy Arias Studio in Times Square. After the success of Switch 96, the show was requested to be shown at the Manhattan Repertory Theatre the following month. In addition, Mike played a handful of hysterical supporting characters in both Switch 96 and Red All Over. He has since starred in a number of short films including Ryan Polukord’s horror Danger Zone.
Mike hopes to continue his theatrical work in Philadelphia where he is searching for new venues for his full-length play The Killing Bros. He is currently writing the 8th chapter of his zombie epic “Miles” and also working on a new comedy entitled “Inversion.”
Blank Productions would like to say, "GOOD LUCK MIKE on your journey to success!"
