What's Your Brand Signature Emotion?

I didn't know until I got an agent and started filming. Over the past year, I've been asked to give the same look in every LONGMIRE scene: antagonism. If I'm not glarin' at Walt, they've got me glarin' at Vic. This is also a major facet in the Clint Eastwood Brand. For more on your Brand Signature Emotion, see: ACTION/REACTION by Stephen Mitchell.

Looking for a read

Hello I finished another feature screenplay. It's called Generation X/ The X fighters. Logline: Three rival martial artists must come together to fend of an alien invasion. I would love a read from someone interested in sci-fi/martial arts films.

Shawn Speake

My man! Congrats on finishing another feature!

Jabari Sandy

Thanks Shawn this was difficult but I made good time, around 7 weeks. My quickest feature ever and best I think.

When an Agent for AMC, PREACHER, etc, shows up, what do you do?

When heavy-hitters like Rodrigo Tactaquin and Lyle Pookie DeRose are takin' a pic, you gotta do what you can to get in it - even if it's with a mouth-full of food :) Photobombing the Sexy Crew!

Darn photo bombers....

Here's me and Lyle Pookie DeRose being photobombed at The 2nd Annual Stage32.com Big Denver FilmMakers Bash. Pookie and I met at my first meetup in Denver. Over the past year, he's gotten me an Agent, working on LONGMIRE, and many other projects. In October we shoot our first short, HOLLYWOOD ENDING.

I FINALLY got my clip

I did 4 movies/TV projects last year, and yesterday I finally received clip #2. I think the other clips were 'lost to the winds'. So, some editing was undertaken on my two scenes from one movie's two scenes to make one. Comments and questions are welcome: https://youtu.be/eAIExhpsdPw...
