American film and video editor, director, cinematographer, graphic
designer, actor, writer, producer and voice over artist. He has acted
in and directed several World Premiere theatrical productions, and his
editing work on short- and feature-length films have won awards at
several festivals. Hirsh has trained as a videographer, actor, singer,
and improvisational comedian, currently continuing work in Milwaukee,
New York City, Atlanta and St. Louis. Working mainly with Atlanta
filmmaker and entertainer Parthiban Shanmugam, other collaborators
include Wade Ballance, Philip Barrett, Kevin L. Powers, and Thomas
Smugala. Influenced by French videographer and university lecturer
Pier Marton and screenwriter Richard Chapman, he has focused his
career on narrative filmmaking, while also piecing together
documentaries on energy healing, life after death and astral
projection. He currently resides in New York City due to his interest
in The New York Presbyterian Hospital which utilizes energy healing,
and proximity to The Monroe Institute and University of Virginia, both
of which partake in astral projection and consciousness
research.You're Rejected propelled Hirsh, Shanmugam and lead actor
George Lee Clark to national and international recognition, winning
"Official Selection" from the Filmböro Film Festival, "Honorable
Mention" at the Philadelphia International Film Festival & Market,
"Official Selection" at the AIAFF Film Festival, and "Official
Selection" at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival.Hirsh's
acting style has been described as amusing, comic, and quirky. His
complexion and physical appearance have been compared to John
Belushi,Jon Lovitz, and Steve Zissis, with a comic voice comparable to
Nathan Lane's. He prefers the Practical Aesthetics school of thought,
pioneered by David Mamet, William H. Macy and Robert Bella, but has
actively participated in various other acting styles and
techniques.Hirsh starred as himself in an improvised Thesis project
directed by Washington University senior Lora Ivanova in 2003. I See
(You See) was a one-act play starring five actors, one of which would
be audience-voted to strap a video camera to their head while playing
out suggestions for improvisational scenes. The piece, mostly comic,
was met with positive reception.
