A Stage 32 Success Story: Short Films - Stepping Stones Paved with Grit & Growth
My wife, Carolina, and I made a film, Expressway to Your Skull. It's not even close to the first film I've made, not even the first film my wife and I made together, but it ended up being the most challenging film to cross the finish line and the one we are most proud of. I want to share some of this story with you here and hope you can take something positive from our experience. THREE DAYS IN. I had accumulated seven days of vacation time at work, so I scheduled and budgeted a seve…

We’ve all heard the saying, “there are no small parts, only small actors.” But what does that really mean?

Four Practical Habits to Help Creatives Stay Grounded and Achieve Consistent Results. "It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward." - Chinese proverb As actors, we all have huge dreams and aspirations: one day winning an Oscar, being on a Broadway stage, getting into Marvel-ready shape, or getting that top-tier agent.

The Writer As An Entrepreneur: Part Two
A Little History Lesson... It was back in 2023 when Sandra Isabel Correia and I met during the November Write Club. We encouraged each other with our project targets and in December we kept in touch, supporting each other in our ventures. During that chilly December, the Universe whispered in my ear, that maybe Sandra could help me resurrect my Producer career and work on my feature film, Seeing Rachel. Towards the end of that month, I wrote to Sandra asking if she’d be open to a…
Why Emotion Regulation In Acting Is Important
There is no shortage of acting techniques for the actor in training. From Stanislavsky and Chekov to Demidov and Meisner and Adler to Strasberg and everything in between. There is a shortage however on methods for safely accessing and regulating emotion in the process of using these acting techniques when developing a Character. The Traditional Traditional acting techniques have their own philosophies on how to access emotion. From Demidov’s “passively surrendering” …
Embracing Your Strengths To Tell Your Story
When I decided to tell my story through animation, I wasn’t starting completely from scratch—I had five years of experience learning about the business side of the entertainment industry. During those five years, I spent three focusing specifically on film and two on animation, immersing myself in the craft. Even with that background, stepping into the creative side of your own project feels nerve-wracking, like entering unfamiliar territory, despite the experience. I don&rs…
Coffee & Content: Finding the Heart of Your Story
Happy Sunday, Creative Army! Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in. When we sit down to write, we don’t always know what the story will become. Sometimes, the heart of it reveals itself in the process. In this week’s first video, Erin Foster shares how her own experience converting to Judaism led to the inspiration for her new Netflix romantic comedy se…
How To Learn Audio Engineering & Voiceover The Hard Way
I'm an experimenter who prefers to learn by doing. In the beginning, that meant significant errors in my recording process. Getting smart, I signed up for some audio engineering courses and learned a lot. I clicked and watched as what I recorded compressed, but not precisely in the way I imagined. And I forgot to save the original recording! My tendency to click and see what happens came back to bite me. Without fail, save your original recording in raw form. It's my number one audio en…

How Therapy Can Make You a Better Actor Without Going Anywhere Near the Couch
In this article, I want to explore how therapy can enhance your acting. Not therapy to address your personal well-being during a challenging role—though that’s important—but rather how specific techniques from Gestalt Therapy and EMDR can be applied in acting classes or one-on-one coaching to help actors deliver more embodied, emotionally authentic, and vulnerable performances. My Journey: From Aspiring Actor to Therapist—and Back Again Acting has always been a…
