In this short film, Henriksen also served as executive producer and played one of the characters, Yulie. It was directed by Andrew Henriques, and Donna McKenna was its casting director. When asked how he balanced all of these different roles (actor, producer and writer) for the film, Henriksen said that he was not sure, but he was stoked with the outcome, especially since it showcases his writing skills, and he was able to push the envelope with this film, since in the past, he was mostly known for being a stunt-man.
Henriksen noted that he was thrilled to work with such a talented cast of actors, which included lead actors Nick Mathews as Roscoe and Sarah Sampino as Isabelle. Other actors included Bruce Hermann as the father, Jody Prusan as the mother, Nathan Crooker as Clem, Jill DeMonstoy as Penuel, Greg Simonetti as Vern, co-producer Tony Simonetti as Masterson, and Mike Simonetti as Joshua. The “Faithful” were played by eight actors, which included medium Janet Russell, Greg Pursino and Pamela Macey, the latter of which also sang haunting lead vocals for the ending credits of the film. The music was composed by director Andrew Henriques and Bob DeMonstoy.
Aside from being an actor and screenwriter, Henriksen is also an author of three books, as well as an instructor at the college level, and he hopes to do more writing in the future.
