Hey everybody,
I've been very inconsistent in my Stage 32 engagement. I'm getting back on the horse here - in part because I have some new ideas about how to approach my career.
The issue I've had over the years is one of "focus" - I do a Little Bit of a Lot of different things, and have had a hard time figuring out which thread to pull. I'm a writer, actor, editor, songwriter, content creator. My most recent tack has been to aim at building a following on YouTube/Instagram/TikTok. My videos haven't drawn any views beyond my circle of friends, and I'm learning that there's a whole machinery of the platforms' Algorithms that needs to be understood and used. I'm pretty far behind the curve on it. I'm not even sure which of those three platforms is the one I should focus on.
I recently decided to take another run at seeking acting work, which I had stepped away from for a while. (More than a "while" actually. Last time, I was Acting, you had to drive around L.A. to various casting offices for every audition. Now, the first call is almost always Self Taped, which makes things WAY more efficient!). I got myself an agent a few months ago, and have since booked a couple jobs - a short film, and a commercial.
Here's a (fairly) recent YouTube video I posted:

I also love dogs and walks on the beach.
Have a great weekend, everybody, and I look forward to reading YOUR introduction posts.

Thank you so much, Robin! Looks like you do some very cool stuff.
You and your fam hike backwards? Did you get that from Knees Over Toes Guy? I started very occasionally doing backwards walks around my neighborhood. It's GREAT for the health of your joints.

Lori, you have made my day. Thank you! I see you you're a dog person, which moves you even further up the ladder of my esteem!
God, the Mafia, My Dad, and Me: OMG, that's a killer title AND logline. Very compelling. Umm...is that really (auto)biographical? Wow. Just wow. Where u at in getting that made? If the film doesn't exist, I just learned about a website called TaleFlick, where you can find people to help you.I learned about it here on Stage 32 from another member. Have a great Sunday :-)
