Balancing It All As A Creative
As a working actor, I am often asked: How do you balance your acting career with the rest of your life? It usually comes from those who aren't actors/artists or those who are actors but are struggling to find that balance. This got me thinking about balance and I asked myself whether "balance" is just an abstract idea or something practical to have in your life. More importantly, is it even possible to have balance with all the things we have going on, all the tasks we have to perform…

The feedback I got from industry pros was eye-opening and, honestly, exactly what I needed. My screenwriting journey has been q…
