Curt Clendenin's Lounge Discussions

Good Day! Iam an improv maniac and learned it from Sheldon Patinkin at Columbia College Chicago. I've been acting in the industry since a lil' feller, landing my first role as an Orphan in "Blues Brothers" and curious what the other Orphans have been up to. If you know of any, please let me know! I co-produced the horror grindhouse comedy "Bloody Bobby", wrote/sang original songs on soundcloud, self-published some sketchbooks, was interviewed for the Andy Kaufman documentary "Kaufman Lives," and play Nick Rhodes in RIO - a Tribute to Duran Duran. My radio show/podcast "Inspirado Projecto," appears frequently on KCHUNG 1630AM in Los Angeles. Currently, Iam co-organizing the KaPow Intergalactic Film Festival October 6-9 2016 in Corona CA, accepting feature/short/screenplay/music video submissions. Most importantly, I value harmony/positivity/optimism and the unknown surprise circumstances that grow from that spirit. I love collaborating with others who appreciate ensemble teamwork, where everyone applies the "Yes, and..." mentality towards eachother's ideas. I get a kick out of discovering someone's passions and figuring out ways to plug them into the projects I create.

Hi all, I'm a writer working on a book about Internet manners/culture (and I give Stage 32 a positive plug for its supportive community). A Vegas publisher is my publisher. Do any of you have stories about getting attacked on social media--for performances/demo reels posted online? Negative comments on reviews of performances? How did you deal with it? You can email me on my Stage32 email or kristin@kristinjohnson.net. In return for sharing your story I will of course mention your resume/demo reel/acting credits/IMDB page/agent or manager as well as anything else you'd like to promote. Thank you, all!
