Things are coming along really well for the next film, Chupacabra Territory. We’ve had some read throughs with the cast and even went on a get to know you/ pre-shoot rehearsal camping trip last weekend, which was great! Any chance I get to go camping I will take it! We had a really fun trip getting into the spirit of the film. We took a few outings to just wander around in the woods improving off the script to get a feel for what the shoot is going to be like. The film is currently slated to be shot in 4 days, which is unbelievably fast, so the more rehearsal the better!
I don’t even know where to start – this shoot was absolutely amazing. I have had such a fantastic time on this set and I’m really sad it’s over. This cast and crew really become a family during this shoot – we sometimes spent 12-15 hours a day for 11 straight days with each other, and some people were even living at the location where we were shooting. For the past week and a half we have all been inseparable and have loved every minute of it. 
This project has been an absolute pleasure from beginning to end! Every step of the way has been so much fun – from fight choreography to the green screen work to the shoots.
Gum, Coffee, Smoke Detectors, Crossword puzzles, and Bibles.
Another wonderful and very ambitious few days of shooting wrapped! The most recent shoot for the Salinger Spies knocked out the majority of our “big extra” scenes along with most of the remaining dialogue scenes. We had two parties in one day – one for high school students and then a second “elegant” party for the adults. I cannot thank my friends who came to be extras enough for being part of the scene! It was so wonderful to have you there! 
Where to start….. I had such a great time during these productions it’s hard to really pick out specific moments. I don’t think I’ve worked on two productions that overlapped like these did. The majority of the cast of Normal were going to be rehearsing the two days before shooting started, however I was set to shoot Debeaked during those two days…. so I went to RI for rehearsal for Normal the two days before everyone else and did a separate rehearsal since most of my scenes are only with a few actors, then went to Chicago to shoot Debeaked for two days, and then back to RI to start shooting Normal… made me think I really need to look into some sort of frequent flier program! 
Hello from Texas!! I am officially wrapped on the feature 
One of the quickest shoots I’ve been on – finished a feature in I think it was 8 days (non consecutive). The film is very stylized and dialogue heavy. Think A Clockwork Orange meets Clerks, only the focus is more on sexual comedy than stoner comedy or violence. 
One part of our craft as actors is to look the part for the roles that we can play. Now this doesn’t always mean being beautiful and chiseled – some people are better as “the creepy guy” and keep themselves waif-like, or “the funny fat guy” whose entire career is dependent on them keeping those extra pounds. For me, I don’t really fit into either of this, so for me, being fit is an important part of “the package”. 
To join SAG or to remain non-union? That is the question. 
Wrapped on a small part in a feature and a short.
