Put bluntly, I use different corners of the ‘net for different things.
Here = thoughts Instagram = memories, art & comedy Twitch = hanging with you Store = charity, collectibles, etc. BYA = acting coaching
My bio has all the info you need. Happy hunting.
New song, now in heavy rotation:
A fascinatingly painful article to read. Mostly because this mentality exists - and pervades a lot more of the world, & the industry, than it should in modern times.
Then again… [looks around at modern times]

Today @VanityFair published a chapter from Burn It Down: It’s a deep dive into what went wrong behind the scenes at #Lost. A number of people had a very, very difficult time while working on the drama & finally felt they could tell their stories. https://t.co/TfHCqluENA
But that’s not how cons function.
They listen to who you, the prospective customer, want. Who will YOU buy a ticket FOR?
So, the next time you think of a guest you want at the #con near you:
• tweet/email/call the con • organize a letter campaign • be loud!

So, as unfair as it is, telling your favorite actor/artist that you “want them at ___ con” is tantamount to telling your friend they “should” date Emily Ratajkowski.
Trust me, they want to.
Fan #Convention Primer:
Even your favorite actors/artists’ booking agents don’t pursue enough appearances. I know, it’s not fair. They barely know most of them.
Con organizers listen to you, the customer. Supply & Demand. (#Fan THREAD)
I know I liked a show when I’m mad at it for ending. Like a great friend moving far away.
Thank you #Succession & #Barry.

THIS.
1st off, there’s an insane amount of good stuff still. But 2nd: the creatives are still trying to make amazing stuff. And trust, they want you to see it!
But guess who it’s up to? 🥸
The loud cry I hear from wannabe scab screenwriters is “the quality of WGA writing hasn’t been good in ten years.” They say this without realizing, over that time, creative power on film & TV has, mostly, ceded to executives. We’re living in an era of Executive Auteurship. 1/
Past Agent: “As attractive as you are, you’ll never be a leading man.”
Publisher: “As interesting as your life is, nobody wants to read about it.”
My Own Brain: “Nobody cares.”
F that, friends. Live your life. Tell your story. Climb over the gatekeepers.
Show me the movie or television character you wanted to be growing up vs the one you feel like you became.

Great filmmaking primer!
Here’s how I used to explain camera blocking to students. I showed them this step-keyed animation scene staged in different ways. Often students, would present their scenes in a neutral way, often with poor composition and flat staging. Perhaps something like this - https://t.co/I4wmanqLiv
Relying on A.I. to create art is like relying on Cliff’s Notes to write your term paper. You MIGHT get a passing grade, but nobody’s ever going to talk about you when you’re gone.

The funniest thing about this Netflix “Household” debacle is I’ve stayed in AirBnBs and hotels that had Netflix loaded and MUAHAHAHAHA I AM NOT PART OF THIS HOUSEHOLD.
Humanity the type of weird that would rather spend all their energy arguing over the true owner of a rent-a-bike than the billionaires holding our country’s future by the throat.

Sometimes I read news about the government/politicians and have to put it down to think about how they get paid to go on talk shows to complain about how aggressively they’re avoiding their job.
(don’t actually poke them. Ben might murder me.) 😳
Dear #FedCon attendees! While I’m sad the organizers decided against repreeenting #SGU, I wish you all a weekend of fun, laughter and partying! Please poke Ben Browder & @ConnorTrinneer repeatedly. (They told me they wanted that. 🙃 Teehee.)

Quentin Tarantino says he will cast someone he hasn’t worked with before as the lead in his final film ‘THE MOVIE CRITIC’. “It’s going to be somebody in the 35 year-old ball park… I do have an idea of somebody I can imagine doing it really well.” (Source: Deadline) https://t.co/EY4lXeSm7l
