The End (of 2011)

It is late December -"dead" time for film in Portland- and the annual worries about running out of money and having to find a "real" job are creeping in again. But that's the way this kind of work goes... you never know if and when you will see your next pay check, or for how much that will be. I've just got to ride this out and count on things picking back up here soon.

I cannot wait to say goodbye to this year. It has been an absolute blast, but I am looking forward to new adventures in 2012. The coming year is going to be one of transition, risk, opportunity, and new beginnings. There is already a lot on the horizon for 2012, which I will talk more about later. (By the way, Rid Of Me has had it's run at Living Room Theater extended AGAIN so if you're in Portland and haven't had a chance to see it yet, there is still time!)

I will leave you with the just released trailer for Lions Eat Their Own, which I am in... covered in blood and glow-paint. As mentioned in an earlier post, I was head butted pretty hard while on set but it makes a good story (that's not where the blood came from). The teaser trailer is only 50 seconds long so take a minute and check it out!

LETO Screen Grab

The past few weeks have been busy- school started up again. Five months left until I've got my Business Degree! Right now I've got a big case of not-being-motivated-for-school. I'd rather focus on film work! I've been auditioning and going to callbacks lately, we'll see if anything comes of it. A couple weeks ago I did a Nintendo shoot... getting paid to play video games definitely falls in the PLUS category of life. I also have at least two projects lined up for the coming months, but I *can't* tell you what yet! I'd rather tell you when I can also link the post to the project's website, provide photos or show video clips. So you're just going to have to wait.

Lions Eat Their Own

Spent the last 3 nights in the woods filming the teaser trailer for a horror film. (See still above). Blood, torture, paint, and more! One shot is of me getting headbutted by Jack (played by KC Guyer), but while filming he slipped and got me for real. Ouch! When the trailer is cut I'll post it here.
