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!

Peace, Love, Inspiration,

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!
