Alright, to start this entry off, I would like to thank EVERYONE for reading my blog! The past couple entries have had large gaps between them and I still manage to get a viewer, even if it is only ONE! So I am glad that people are enjoying it! Also, I found out I also had a viewer from Russia, which I thought was cool!
Next thing I want to bring up is, yesterday, it was announced that Whitney Houston has died. The reason I bring this up is a couple months ago, I had the opportunity to work on about half of Whitney's last ever film, SPARKLE. I had the opportunity to meet her and she was a real sweetheart! I also got a crew gift, a hoodie with SPARKLE as well as the production company on it, which I will now cherish!
On the bright side of things, I get closer to working on the feature "Attacked on Set"! I am getting extremely excited! Not only am I playing a crucial role but its the first feature that I have such a big role! Then their goal is to get it on Netflix, which maybe all of you could end up seeing me in a movie on Netflix within the next year or two! Then after that movie, I jump aboard a crew job for the film CELEB as the 2nd AD as well as a small acting role! I feel that will be another great gig!
Alright I cant control myself....time for...WHATS IN THE STUMBLEUPON BAG!!! lol

SOOOO TRUE!!!!!
So this past Wednesday, I ended up AD'ing a music video for a band called Major Minor! I recommend everyone check them out http://www.facebook.com/pages/Major-Minor/170883756289522?sk=app_2405167945 the song they did was She's Trouble! My buddy Matt Barth brought his crane to the shoot which left us with SOME AMAZING FOOTAGE!! Also, Matt and I are heading out to Cleveland today to work on another little project. Doing an interview for a company. Meanwhile, we are also going to do a couple really short videos that we can use for our reels. I will be directing and playing talent, and he will be the cinematographer/editor. That will be a cool shoot being we will get some really cool shots. Might even try to shoot something while we are out in Cleveland! I have been starting to learn more with my camera lately! Here are some shots from the shoot!
Just a quick interjection, Hakuna Matata just came up in my playlist! hahaha
As far as the film out in NY I was cast in, no one who was cast has heard anything back from them yet. So I will play it through like it is not going to happen. It would be great if it did but I am not going to get my hopes up!
Meanwhile, my buddy, who I am going to record with, is getting his equipment set up. Of course that means once he does, I should be recording my CD. I am excited for that!
