Looks cool but I'm used to looking at a blank page. Too many bells and whistles are distracting. I'd love to hear what you think of it if you get it, though.

Scott over at Go Into The Story ran a contest for screenwriters to write words of encouragement to first timers. Here's the result: http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2013/06/words-of-inspiration-to-first-time-writers.html We can all use a little encouragement from our peers at times...

I've returned to acting recently after a two year hiatus in which I got married, had a child, and worked days as a writer to support my new family. I'm starting to star in web shorts, return to stand-up and improv, and look into acting classes again in the L.A. area. Recently I've had the...

You're just too radical for us. Good for you. I'll make sure to try and drink more Mountain Dew to keep up.

Tonight I audited a class at Playhouse West in North Hollywood (very close to where I live), and I was blown away by how entertaining it was. Playhouse West was founded by Jeff Goldblum and Robert Carnagie in 1981 and is based on the Meisner Method, though it departs from it into its own...

Everything sold!

It's been a decade since my junior college Theatre degree, and I haven't acted since. For whatever reason, I feel that some beginner's improve courses would be a good place to start to get back into the swing of things. I'm considering Second City over UCB, Groundlings, and I.O. mostly due to...

I still have the box and all accessories. In case anyone is wondering why, I'm starting to focus more on photography, and I'd rather shoot stills with a Canon. Locally in the L.A. area.
