Coming early next year...The River: A full length motion picture in which yours truly makes an appearance.
A good friend of mine wrote and directed a film this summer in Arkansas and I had the pleasure of being a part of it. It's funny, as much as I love acting and enjoyed that aspect of the production, I found the relational aspects of the project much more satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love acting. It's the craft I've spent the most energy and time laboring over since I was a kid and I feel acting brings me alive in many ways. This experience showed me, however, that it's the relationships we form and the ways we pour our energy into other people that really bring us to life. I would do anything for the people I worked with on this project and that's the way I hope I approach anything I do in the future.
Anyway, I'm obviously not back into the blogging thing yet, but please look for The River, coming to DVD or a film festival near you early next year.

New Things...
I realize I probably lost any of the few readers I actually had, and for that I apologize. I always wrote my blog posts while I was bored at work. When I got laid off I had all the time in the world, but was unable to commit to stringing words together for a blog. I am still unemployed, but feel like six months is more than enough time to begin blabbing on about things again.
It's been an eventful month to say the least. Most importantly, my baby sis, who I absolutely adore, is now officially spoken for. She got engaged a few days ago. Though it has been difficult for me to accept the fact that I am no longer the most important man in her life, I couldn't ask for a better replacement. Of course, being quite self centered, I make this whole experience about me. In all honesty, it makes me smile knowing that my sister is so happy. Now mom and dad can stop looking to me for grandkids, too.
So, while searching for jobs and my way in the world, I spent some spare time making a film with a good friend from LA and a couple of friends from years ago. It was an amazing experience and will require a blog post devoted exclusively to it. I am, however, still reflecting on the project and cannot quite put my thoughts together yet. I will simply say that it was one of those rare experiences which requires everything you have to give and changes you as a person in the process. Amputating my left leg was the most difficult to deal with.
If any one is reading...thank you. If not, cyberspace, thanks for lending me some free time.
