Gaskill Delivers Quite A Speech!

Soap hopper Brian Gaskill (GUIDING LIGHT’s Dylan, AS THE WORLD TURNS’ B.J., THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Oscar, PORT CHARLES’ Rafe and ALL MY CHILDREN’s Bobby) has just released a dramatic short film called The Speech. “I’m very excited about getting this film out there,” he says.

Gaskill not only stars in the short opposite actress Clea Rivera, but also wrote the script and co-directed it. “It takes place at a wedding reception,” the actor explains, “and is about a couple exploring their past together and what that means to their relationship now.

“Soap viewers will be super comfortable with the romantic setting and wedding wardrobe,” Gaskill adds with a chuckle before warning: “But it definitely takes a turn away from standard soap fare… it may get a little racy!”

The Speech was funded through Kickstarter with donations from friends and fans, and you can watch it now below. “I couldn’t have done it without Ambika Leigh, Garrett Robinson and the whole gang at the film collective and workshop, We Make Movies,” Gaskill declares proudly.
