See my description in About Me in my Twitter profile?  Zombie preparedness is always necessary.  You never know when this might happen:

Happy creating!...or clean removal of the zombie head to ensure a clean kill...whatever...

The Audition Issue

Hey actors! Have you read this yet?  You probably should.  Backstage has put together a great collection of articles about the mysterious process known as auditioning.  And given that what we do is audition, it's well worth the click.


The Audition Issue


I read every article in one sitting and loved every one.  There are great tips from working actors, producers, and casting directors alike.  Key bit of advice?  Get out of your head, stop beating yourself up, and just be you.

State of the Union | Sundance Institute

An excellent commentary on the state of indie film.  I admit this post is little behind the times as this panel took place in July.  For my lateness in posting, I apologize but regardless of the timeliness of it, this is a great read.  Again, Sundance, you rock.

Goals and a Check In

So remember how I said my life had become incredibly busy?  And that I would keep you posted?  Notice how that was ages ago?  Sorry about that but nothing much has changed in the ensuing weeks.


So here's the low down on what's been going on:


1) I worked on a TV show for Animal Planet.  From what I understand, it will be released sometime in October in the US.  No word on when myself and my countrymen will be able to see it up here in the Great White North.  OK, so not snowy right now but you get the cliche;


2) I booked a feature film which is slated to start soon.  I can't give you much more information than that as I signed my life away saying that I wouldn't.  But it should be really cool once everything gets off the ground;


3) I've been thoroughly developing my web series while also helping other producers develop some of their own projects.  Nothing like working with a community of like-minded people who just love film and telling stories to get you motivated!


There are more projects thrown in there as well but most are more personal and not the stuff to post online to live on ad infinitum. Needless to say, everything is connected to the goal of acting.


So what's coming up soon?  Well, I get to work with one of my favourite directors and DoP's this week on-get this--an action comedy.  That's all I'm saying but tune into Tom Antos' YouTube channel for more details. I'll post more when it's complete!


I hope you all are as busy as I am and loving every minute of it!  I'm constantly grateful for the people who are supporting me in my efforts and giving me opportunities to do the thing I love.


Happy creating!
