I’m excited. I have 3 webseries projects which are are all in the beginning phases of their life. It is kind of like having 3 babies. The youngest, the middle, and the oldest. But all in infancy.

One has begun shooting. We had a really great shoot today – It was such a fun scene. I really liked the flow of it. I did a behind-the-scenes broadcast thingamabobber online too, which was pretty cool.
I really like how freestyle that project is and we all have a really great and fun chemistry together.
I love that we can broadcast it worldwide for people to watch it all take place. It’s pretty cool. I am really having a lot of fun on this project… acting and doing the scenes. I wish I could just do that all day. That would be awesome.

I wrote this story in a journal when I was in elementary school.. and I recently met this young, brilliant writer… shared with him my idea.. he added his writer spice to it… and now we have another budding webseries, which incorporates the type of script I have always dreamed of being a part of. We had a read through tonight of the first episode. I like it.
This one is gonna be a guerrilla style shoot, and I think I might be able to get my hands dirty and play around with the camera a little bit – which I love. This one is going to be a raw, character driven, nitty gritty webseries.
It’s going to be awesome and fun. This writer guy is incredible!
I totally trust him with my vision. I just throw out a few ideas and he quickly translates it into script. It’s amazing.

Totally contrasting but both just 100% fucking fabulous – these 2 webseries shows. The first one unscripted/impromptu, professionally produced – with most ideas coming on the fly. The second one scripted, guerilla style – with most ideas coming in advance.. somewhat impromptu/somewhat prepped

Then we have the third one which is completely distinguished from the others. It is in a league of its own. We have had several production meetings, a table read tonight.. there has been paperwork.. We’ve been brainstorming a lot as a team.. it’s very much a group effort and the director in this one is doing his thing, but in a sense is kind of taking a back seat to allow others to kind of make some stuff their own.
It has been an interesting process. It has a very professional feeling to it, which I like. It also feels very fascinating to me, for some odd reason.
I’m excited about it though. I got some ideas tonight.. essentially we’ve developed a writing team together, that is basically what is going on..
I got some ideas to pep up the script a little bit tonight. I think before the next meeting I’d like to look everything over and come up with some stuff to hopefully add to the dialogue. That’ll be good – get a little writing exercise. Always fun.

So that’s about it really
I love all these shows though and I’m so excited to find out how they are all going to turn out.. What they are going to look like… Websites.. All that fun stuff. I think they are all going to be really awesome quality stuff to watch. I’m excited

I had an audition on Tuesday for an upcoming national television show. It was a little bit crazy. I ended up being there for 4 hours!
I hope they put me on the show!

That’s about all. Being a person who is passionate about computers, cameras, and performing – I am just so grateful that I am able to do all of this stuff right now.. and I am so excited about all the possibilities and opportunities which are around now that everyone else is catching on to the technology. It’s pretty awesome. I am totally loving it.

I’m looking forward to bringing all of my projects to the next level and I am excited to find out what exactly that means!!

Thanks for reading!

PS. I currently have my drum set sitting in the kitchen. I have been sooo itching to jam. I really want to make some music again.
I know I have all this film stuff – I want music too! Then it will be balanced for me. I am just as passionate about making music as I am about the cinematic arts.
I really want to do a show again. Oh man, I am soooo craving to play live for an audience. It’s gonna happen again, gosh darnit!! I will make sure of that, gosh darnit!! LOL Hopefully soon!

I have a few projects in the works which have been keeping me pretty busy. Fun stuff – I’m really excited and am doing my best to add as much as I can to each one – to bring them all to the next level.

–QUICK RECAP–
This past weekend I rapped and did some comedy for a taping which took place at the Pasadena Community Access channel.

Tuesday I had an audition for a national television show.

Wednesday and Thursday night I have production meetings for two different webseries productions. I also have a script for the first episode of my personal webseries project.

Thursday is set as Shoot Day #2 for the other webseries that started the last week of January. I am planning on broadcasting our shoot LIVE online and will be making an announcement very soon.

That’s about all for now.. more updates will be on the way..
Thank you for reading!!

Wow, what a fun filled week this will be. A lot of cool stuff in store and I am very excited – extremely enthusiastic, and totally inspired about it all!
Good times!

TOMORROW EVENING I HAVE A CALLBACK FOR A NATIONAL COMMMERCIAL!!
Oh man, I am SOOOO excited about this!! Ahhhhhh!!!
Honestly, it is kind of the opportunity of a lifetime for me, in so many ways.
Especially as an actor, because it is SAG.. so that means I will FINALLY be able to join the union – which will definitely help me in getting an agent – which will be totally awesome. Then at least I will be able to put my 20 year acting hobby to the test.
Needless to say, I am just so excited to have this opportunity right now in my life. I am so grateful.. and honestly, even though it is just a callback right now.. Just the simple fact that this casting company is providing this sort of chance for me.. this kind of opportunity.. I am just so so grateful right now for that. It’s just pretty cool… and I truly/totally appreciate it from the deepest depths of my heart.

In other news.. lol… after the callback I gotta hop in my car and head on over to the 2nd production meeting for a webseries that is in development.. This isn’t mine.. and this isn’t the one that I acted in last week.. this is the other one.. I’m pretty excited about this one.
I think I am going to pull out a script that I wrote for the sketch comedy group I was in when I lived in Florida.
For 2 1/2 years I performed at all the local improvs (and also at LACF in LA) with a local sketch comedy group in Florida. It was fun. We would rehearse once a week and after a few months was when we got into the swing of doing a bunch of shows. It was cool. Anyway, I wrote a sketch for the group, that of course I starred in. Hey, I wanted to be the star in something! LOL Anyway, the audiences really loved it. I always got a huge roar of laughter and people really seemed to enjoy the character I created for myself. There were several times after the show when people would come up to me and kid with me about it.
So, I have it here in my filing cabinet. Sitting in a folder somewhere.
I think I am going to bring it out tomorrow night and see what the director thinks and if he is interested in incorporating it into the series.
Or maybe I will print a new one out. It has got to be on my computer or on a harddrive somewhere.

Saturday is my premiere on the Pasadena Local Access Television.
I think I’ve blogged about it before and it was supposed to take place a couple of weeks ago. That was a mix up. It is happening on Saturday.
I will be performing my new rap song and doing some dancing. I’m looking forward to it – It will be fun.
Also, I think it is going to be broadcasting online. I need to email the lady and find out where exactly, so I can have all my peeps tune in.

Well, I guess that is all the updates for now.
I’m really excited about everything. I’m grateful.. and I’m happy.
I think that everything is going to turn out good.. and I’m looking forward to putting up some more fun stuff online.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. That other webseries, that one that we started shooting last week… There is a website (in case you don’t know).. that I broadcast live from.. usually from my bedroom.. I usually just pretty much open up my webcams, hang out, shoot the shit, and listen to some music. That’s about it really. Well, I am in communication with one of the people that work for the site.. thanks to a good old friend of mine.. and it looks as if I will be broadcasting a live show on there, which will be featured on the front page.
Basically, it will be a behind-the-scenes sorta thing. This new webseries, the director/producers have a very interesting vision for it.. which I am really excited about. There is going to be some cool developments with that.
But anyway, in the meantime what I will be doing is broadcasting.. on that website.. a LIVE “behind-the-scenes from Hollywood” sort of thing.
Because technically, that’s exactly what it is. It would give you a glimpse of our shoot… you can watch it as we tape/rehearse it… and.. it is shot right in the heart of Hollywood.. and it will be broadcast live on the internet.. so yeah, it is LIVE Behind the Scenes from Hollywood. LOL
But because it’s MY room – it is going to be completely raw and real. Just the way I like things to be.

So yeah, that’s about all for now. I’ll keep ya’ll posted with new developments as I get them.. huhuh that sounds very newscasterish doesn’t it?
But yeah I will keep you all abreast. uhuhuh that sounds very Beavis and Butthead.
Anyway, it has been a very busy week for me. I’m slightly delirious
Very happy. Very grateful. Very excited. Good stuff!

Thank you for reading!! I hope you likey!!
