Career

Acting remains his primary love; in an interview, he described writing as a "lonely, thankless job".[1] After he tired of supporting roles on television shows, he decided to write starring roles for himself. Damici and Jim Mickle have worked together since 2001[3] and have collaborated on four films: Mulberry Street, Stake Land, We Are What We Are, and Cold in July.[4] Damici originally wrote Stake Land to be a web series, but Larry Fessenden was enthusiastic about making it into a feature film.[5] In February 2013, he was cast in Adrian Garcia Bogliano's Late Phases.[6]
