Finding Peace
So recently, I have been reading and reading and reading and just being at peace with everything that comes my way. I visited the Drama Book Store and read Sam Sheperd’s ‘The Late Henry Moss”, what a great play. Pretty much all of my acting work connects to Ethan Hawke somehow. And I have noticed that Ethan Hawke, has done several of the plays that Sean Penn has completed. I received an email from Stanley Wilson, one of the producers from Hawke’s ‘The Hottest State” and he’ll be coming up to NYC soon. I hope we get to link up this time.
So my friend, emailed me this, I’m on the “We Love the Soaps, Soap Star Birthdays” http://welovesoaps.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html (they got my age wrong though!)
So I have created a publicity packet for my ESPN Cover shoot with all the print sheets and also my review from the CT Post. My friend Anthony from MSNBC is going to help me matte my prints on a display for myself. He has helped me with suggestions for my website and how to underground market myself. Have I mentioned www.youtube.com/stephenseidel yet?? Ha Ha.
I am also flushing out my documentary idea to shoot in the beginning of March. My finances are getting backed up, but I need a camera and will put it on credit, if needed. So that I can begin my online creations. Anthony and I had an idea for the UnderArmour Superbowl advertisement to spoof it. We are writing it now. My buddy, Ian, was in a superbowl commercial and he inspired me to set a goal to be on a Superbowl commercial next year, so get ready.
I watched the Superbowl and had a blast, just taking time out to enjoy the daily activities and not be pounding my head for emailing and web designs, etc. So it was nice to chill. Today was back to the grind as I spoke with a few agents and uploaded my hosting reel to actors access. I really do enjoy hosting and it allows me to just chill out and be spontaneous and do my job. I am trying to push for more of those opportunities now. However, I will be going to AZ for a job on Wednesday and Thursday and visiting my mother on Friday, so that leaves me with a short week.
I am reading a screenwriting book and it is helping me visualize my script in a much more thorough capacity as I piece together bits and scraps from the book I am adapting. I can wait to get this started. I have finaldraft and I am ready. The movie is an ode to my good buddy’s father, who passed on and is involved in the book. As I finished my outline, I was so excited.
Anyways, long story short, you can’t push things, but need to be on the ball, so as I travel my path through time and space, I am at peace, yet always ready for the next adventure. Goodbye.
