Back in The "Mix"
So its been awhile since I have last spoken to many of my classmates at Esper Studios. One friend, Todd Estrin, moved to Cali and referred me to a friend for a short film, Tele. The director, Danial Jaafar, lives in Mylasia and sent me my copy finally. It was fun to see some of my older work, which I have completed forgotten about. Todd and I were co-producers of our own showcase called, Love’s Doorstep, directed by Annie Coburn. We produced a showcase to showcase our talents to agents and industry. Unfortunately, the catering, acting, raffles, booze and mingling didn’t bring that large a crowd. See me and some classmates above. It went great and was a thrill to create and act in my own show. I performed a lesser known piece, called ‘Tape’ written by Jose Rivera, about someone who must listen to all the lies they have told in their life as punishment, quite an amazing piece. (See picture above)
In addition, today I spoke to Michael Turney of ‘The Action Room’ from illusiontv.com . We shot an 80’s spoof, where I played a Jock. It will be on cable, on-demand soon. I will be getting a copy of that tomorrow. Fun times.
I am back on the phones, calling all my freelance agents and touching base and trying to establish some good terms to create opportunities for both of us. I also scheduled an actors connection to meet with Sheryl Baker-Fisher tomorow night of “One Life to Live”, to display some of my soap abilities. My last appearance was on ‘Guiding Light’ as ‘Dude’. I also am following up about my release of ‘The Rise of The Dead’, with producers to determine some contractual fun stuff.
Now, I am going to another producer’s house, Paul Mammano, to view my pilot of ‘Five to Six’. I am excited to see how it turns out. Also, I am beginning to write some of my own shorts and trying to get my latest into Steve Martin’s hands, as he will benefit from appearing in this short TREMENDOUSLY. If you know his agent or friend, please let me know. I will help you too! Later yall.
