Tori Clay's Lounge Discussions

I am so happy right now!! I am a member of The Writers' Room and I have gotten some great feedback on my one-hour police drama pilot script titled "UNDERCOVER BLUES" and I'm currently working on the series bible right now.

I'm also getting some feedback from the members in The Writers' Room about my feature "WHODUNIT?" which is a satire of the film noir genre of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I would love to enter it into the National Lampoon Screenwriting Competition this year.

Title says it all. I direct the Screaming Ostrich Filmmakers Festival seen at www.screamingostrich.com and we are a 501c non-profit. We inaugurated it last Oct in 4 venues in Boston over 3 days and nights, with great panels and entertainment and it was very successful. We followed with a 1 night pop up in Dec and for this year we have 4 on the table so far. Our first on April 24 will be our first all lgbT iteration of it. We use Film Freeway for submissions. The rules: Any visual content up to 15 mins, no porn, no hate, and be over 18 to submit. We want to follow with one for teens, one in NH and our big Oct one will be closer to Halloween and expand from 3 days and nights to either 4 or 5 tbd. Thanks for reading.

OK, I'll do it. I am Tori Clay, a SAGAFTRA member actress, art model, rock musician, author, singer/dancer, songwriter, and director of the Screaming Ostrich Filmmaker's Festival. I am also a transgender woman. I was formerly, Vic Clay, a moderately successful SAGAFTRA actor with a resume of about 70 films and 25 plays plus dinner theatre, commercials, vo and more with credits in acting, directing, producing, writing, shooting, coaching on set, stunts, stunt driving, combat, precision driving, musician, standup, comedy improv, and more. When I came out almost 4 years ago, my agent dropped me and I have only done a couple plays since then. Not much call for a trans actress that is not young and gorgeous and does not have a feminine voice, no matter how talented I am and I am very talented. I am in Boston, Ma and I am 5'6" and 125 with long blonde hair and greenish eyes. Lately I have been doing a lot of something that I have not done since I was a kid. I have been playing my original music all over town. Just last week I had 3 gigs. People are loving my music now. It started sort of on a dare a few months ago to play one of my songs at a show of my friend's band. That turned into 5 songs that day and after the fantastic reception that I got, I went on to do a talent show and some open mics and then played in the bandstand on the Boston Common for the 4th of July and in the Figment Festival a bit later and I have been writing more songs. Some really professional songwriters told me that my stuff was "gold" and "perfect". Also see my film fest at www.screamingostrich.com if you produce any content and want us to consider it.

hi, and ta daaa!! Introducing Tori Clay and it is a pleasure for you to meet me! I am a SAGAFTRA member actress that was moderately successful and came close to making it big more than once. I started out as Vic Clay but when I came out as Tori Clay a transgender female actress, my agent dropped me and my career evaporated. Vic had a resume with credits in acting, directing, producing, packaging, writing, shooting, stunts, coaching privately, coaching on set, singer/dancer, standup, dinner theatre, musician, comedy improv, stunt driving, precision driving, and more in about 70 films and 25 plays. Tori has only been able to get a couple of plays since I came out about 3.5 years ago. I get it, though, almost any gig that wants a transwoman is seeking one that is young and gorgeous and has a feminine voice. 

  Now, I have a few other irons in the fire. I am a graphic artist, author, rock musician, and singer/songwriter,. Also the first ever transgender female art model to be signed to an agency contract which means I get booked to pose nude for artists. Now, all of a sudden, after me being away from music for decades and not playing or singing my stuff for anyone since I was a kid with perfect hearing, my music is blowing up. In the last few weeks I have played at an outdoor fest, a talent show, and some open mics and then on the 4th of July, I played on the Boston Common in the bandstand. Next weekend I will play my original "message rock" as part of the Figment Festival in Boston on the Greenway. they do Figment all over the country.  I got to play my, "As Seen On TV" tune for a bunch of really pro songwriters and they loved it and called it gold and perfect. These are peeps with album credits and members of BMI and ASCAP. I was stunned.

        I am also the director of the Screaming Ostrich Filmmaker's Festival. See all our details at www.screamingostrich.com . We are a not-for-profit venture for content up to 15 minutes long in any format including projects that have been seen before. Just be over 18 to submit, no porn, no hate and we use Film Freeway. It all happens this Oct, 18,19,20 in Boston, Ma. We are focused on diversity and since we are happening so close to Halloween, all horror and grindcore and etc is especially welcome. We are planning a lot of ancillary activities as well as some special guests and we have a couple of honorees. 

HI all, my name is Vic Clay. I am primarily an actor but I also direct, produce, write and more. So a short cv of V.C. would be ....a rhyme! And it would have my 70 or so films, 24 plays, 2 of them I directed, plus standup, vo, stunts, comedy improv troupe, producing, writing, coaching, musician and more. I live in Boston, Ma but I will go wherever the work is as long as it is SAGAFTRA sanctioned. I am a trained, talented and professional in all respects. I don't work for free or cheap but I work hard. Currently looking to book work for 2013. See me on the IMDB , Iactor, Youtube, and most casting sites.
