Impressed with the natural talent of In Their Room subject and I Want Your Love co-star, Brontez Purnell, Travis wrote his second feature, Brontez and Rick, with Brontez in mind for the lead. Travis plans to take the new narrative into production in 2013 while continuing his In Their Room series in increasingly disparate cities. —travisdmathews.com
