Self Portrait: On Acting

 

"Every single character an actor takes on, they need to treat that person as if they were real in order to feel the correct amount of responsibility for their existence because your job is create a real live breathing full rich multi-faceted convoluted complex person and that's very difficult to do if you don't care about that person."

--Andrew Garfield



 


"I call it 3D Anthropology."
--Tom Hiddleston


"When i read a script i'm looking at pretty much 2 things. One is if the writer thought about the character and that the character could possibly exist outside of the script as opposed to just being used as a pawn for a story. And the other thing is if i could do something with it and bring myself to it and make it something that would be entertaining to perform because i suppose the most entertaining things to perform are the most entertaining things to watch." 
--Jesse Eisenberg


"To be able to travel the world, it does help as a human being because you're living and as an actor i get to try and understand and learn many different things of life and different trades and it gives you great perspective on the world on life on people and i don't think you can help but grow as a human being." 
--Tom Cruise

Miss Beldon. My first legit short film.



This was my first legit short film, Miss Beldon, for the 48 hour film festival. Loved every minute, particularly the stunts. Though I am my biggest critic.

I wanted to show how kickass my character Special Agent Buchanan was, and my inexperience caused nervousness. It's all mental. Anytime you are in front of the camera, and in life, trust yourself that you've done the work and are prepared. Trust your mind and your skill.. Otherwise you will not enjoy your work, and you may feel inadequate. Let's not have that shit cloud focus.
















I got to work with this amazing cast and crew. Yelena, great clear kind direction. Evan screenplay and my partner in justice. Tyler, hilarious talent with donut. Kabrina, kind and talented. Bryan, soooooo fun to work with you on stunts and watch you perform your work! Erynn, brother of Evan... Bethany, editing is so cool! ;) The Badger-Breathing Dragons unite!

Build Your Repertoire

Hey there. Been a while. So much goin on in life.

I'm taking gymnastics, contemporary dance, ballet, and hip hop. I'm also taking a guitar class. And i've been doing artwork and spending time with my sister and friends. So much stuff goin on. Here's a peak:











FYI, there has been a lull as of late in my activity. I've missed classes and such. It's because i've taken them for granted and gotten lazy.At the beginning of the year, everything was new and exciting. It has become routine and i've slowed my passion. I've let an opportunity pass me by.. to be an extra in a student film with my friend Gunnar as one of the leads. Do not let yourself think you are doing ENOUGH to get your dreams. Do more, while staying sane of course ;)

YOU MUST CHANGE FROM WITHIN

You need to reinvigorate your love for your passion all the time. Do things that inspire your passion. For me, it's watching Glee hehe.


So yeah... no class or coach or opportunity can do anything for you unless you apply yourself and take responsibility to make yourself a better dancer, musician, actor.  FOCUS. And LOVE WHAT YOU DO so much that you do it always everywhere.
