It has been a while since I blogged and the 3 webseries shows that I am cast in are each moving progressively forward.

Ciners is currently at it’s peak, as we have been in the thick of shooting the last couple of weeks. The first episode is already up and I’m looking forward to seeing more. This has been such a fun project to be apart of. Our director really has a great vision for each episode and it’s clear when we are shooting. It’s been an impromptu collaborative process and I’m excited to see the final outcomes from the scenes I was doing… it’s actually somewhat of a mystery to me.
My character was kind of added into the project afterwards, so it’s been a really cool organic process, the whole thing.

The sketch comedy webseries is in the midst of rehearsals, and we should begin shooting soon. I’m really having fun with the various roles I’m exploring with here. This brings back a lot of memories of when I was in that sketch comedy group in Florida for 2 1/2 years. We would have weekly rehearsals and after a couple months of tweaking our scripts and getting everything tight, we started doing shows at the Improvs and at a comedy festival in Los Angeles.
It almost feels like I am stepping back into an old comfortable pair of shoes.
It’s the same sort of feeling that I got when I performed sketch comedy, except there is a camera right there. So that was fun. Whenever there is a camera in my face and I am doing something funny, I love to experiment with various expressions. Do it up a little bit.
Our last rehearsal was taped. It was a cool experience.

The untitled project will tentatively begin shooting early next month.
This is pretty much a collaborative figurative “baby” of mine and my writer friend of mine that I think I blogged about before.
We are both really excited about this project and I can tell we both really want to shoot it now. Due to time constraints though, we’re going to postpone it just a couple more weeks. Hopefully by the time April rolls around things will be good to go.
I’m really looking forward to working on this project.

Other than that, not much. I just redid this website with my own bare hands.
I was just ready for it to have a new look and I wanted to get it done quickly, so I just created the bubble letter words on Photoshop, slapped it up and linked it all up on Dreamweaver, moved some stuff around, and completed the task in about an hour or two.
This is just a preliminary redesign though. There are still a couple of other things that I am going to be adding onto here.

Oh yeah, I also have an audition next week for a new production. I should be getting sides tomorrow – I’m looking forward to finding out more as to what that’s all about.
I have been narrowing my submissions and have been pretty selective about the ones I send my headshot and resume to.
Although, I still submit to so many projects that it’s a bit difficult to keep track.
But I know for sure that something about this one caught my attention.. and I’m happy that one of the ones I picked to audition for “picked me back” for the audition.
That is a good sign so far

Anyway, that’s about all for now.
More coming soon!! I promise!

Peace, Love, Inspiration,
