His short films have won Best Writing, Best Musical, and Director's Choice awards at various international film festivals. His previous film, Credo, was a collaboration with opera singer/actor Larry Picard, with whom he first worked on The Ship That Lies at the Bottom, Keith's 20-minute opera with original short fiction by two dozen authors, performed aboard the decommissioned lightship Frying Pan in New York City. Formerly the keyboardist for The Cosmic Debris, the spoken word and electronic music group that debuted at #1 on the New Age Voice Airwaves Top-100 as Alias Zone, he also played keyboards with the Afropop/reggae band Kadara. He has worked extensively with opera singers, combining classical voice with electronic and world music influences. His unconventional techniques for making screen musicals by recording singers live on the set without accompaniment have been the subject of several articles in Recording magazine. Jason Keltner, an electronic musician in Pasadena, California, meets Monica Gleason at a yearly arts and technology convention. During a chance encounter, Jason is able to talk Monica, a high-tech performance artist, out of her stage fright and onto the stage. While performing, she is killed by one of her stage lasers. Recently divorced and in need of a mission, Jason neglects his job and finds the killer with the help of his two best friends, his computer/electronics studio and a mysterious online stranger.
