I've finished my script, and now, I have to get it made. Honestly, writing the script is most of the work. If your movie is good, you have a easier time getting it made, it's not rocket science. Not always, but most times (btw, any rich people interested in making a dark, beautiful, gritty drug-laced love story, or any movies for that matter, shoot me an email). I feel I've been productive, I've directed, edited, and produced two music videos (Nathan Nice: Perfect Somedays, and ceslrock: Buggo), plus the one short I wrote (BLU_SCRN). I've been trying to live up to my own expectations, and since the only acting work I've had access to has been commercially, I have quite a ways to go. I just got some new head shots (by Kendra Smith, excellent work) and cut a new theatrical demo reel together, so, I'm trying to get aggressive with sending my stuff out to managers and the like. Although, I know the only sure bet I have is my own script. My advice to people in this industry is: Sure, we all hope to be instantly discovered, but you can't sit around and wait for it to happen, you have to try to make it happen. In this case, I'm taking my own advice, and trying to bring to life my 98 page ticket. Take some responsibility for my career. At least I have to convince myself that I have some control, otherwise, you might as well play the lottery. I mean, if you resolve to make a professional living from acting, or writing, or any art, even if you are gambling, you should find a way to stack the deck ;)
ps - see Star Trek. And, if any casting peeps find this, please, cast me in the sequel. And, the Deadpool movie. ;P
'til next time kiddies.
love,
