About the Director
Albert Fry Jr. was born in Denver, Colorado, and raised on a farm 50 miles north of there. At age 27, he left the farm, moving to Denver for a year, then on to Phoenix, AZ for less than a year, and finally making his way to Albuquerque, NM in 1986. He’s done many different things since arriving in the ‘Land of Enchantment’ – including woodworking, building ‘rustic furniture’. Albert got the ‘acting bug’ at age 35. He is now an award-winning actor, writer, director and independent film producer.
