ADVICE ON THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ACTING INDUSTRY, BUT THAT NO-ONE WILL NECESSARILY TELL YOU. I WILL BE DOCUMENTING WHAT I LEARN ABOUT BEING A WORKING ACTOR AS I GO ALONG, SO THAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES/SUCCESSES AND AVOID SOME OF THE PITFALLS I MAY HAVE LANDED IN WITHOUT KNOWING BETTER. THIS IS NOT THE HOLY GRAIL - SO I WELCOME COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK THAT ARE HELPFUL TO THE NEW OR EVEN SEASONED ACTOR OUT THERE

I will be doing 2 incredibly intensive, very motivational, very empowering, no bull, bottom-line and full-day Film Producing & Financing Workshops in New York in the coming weeks. I promise them to be an empowering, and potentially, a life transforming, experience for filmmakers, producers, investors, directors, dp’s, writers, actors and other successful, working and aspiring creative professionals.
