SAG SHORT FILM FEATURING SKY NOW IN BASEBALL HALL OF FAME
What if Major League
Baseball owners conspired to change the game in a significant manner? 
What if no one stood up to stop them? Could one man make a difference
in this corporate world?
These are the questions addressed in the new Visionary Cinema short film, Ten Men on The Field,
which was filmed on location in Southern California. Sky
joined the ensemble cast as the interim owner of the beleaguered (pun
intended) Los Angeles baseball franchise.
 The cast also
includes Will Bowers, Jay Dersahagian, David Graf, Phil Hunter, John Kayton, Jeffrey Markle, Steve Owsley, Dean Scofield and Cameron Smith.
TMOTF was written and directed by Scott Essman and produced by Jessica Herman.
Released direct to DVD, this movie has been added to the baseball film library at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Coopertown, NY.
SKY'S EDGY, COMEDIC "HOT POCKETS" COMMERCIAL
 In a cutting-edge comedic campaign for Nestle Foods' microwaveable
turnovers known as "Hot Pockets", Sky joined an ensemble of zany
folks touting the remarkable qualities of the product. At the
center of the madness is young comedian and YouTube phenom, Toby Turner.
During the impressive on-location commercial shoot (at a private home in
Sherman  Oaks, California), Sky portrays a well-meaning, but inept
backyard barbecuer whose culinary creations are so bad that he always
keeps a ready supply of Hot Pockets handy to ensure that he'll always
have something to serve his guests that he knows they will enjoy.
Sky booked the commercial through commercial agent, Chris Holler, at Affinity Artists Agency.
