Dear Actors, You are Enough…

Dear Actors, you are enough… But do you really believe that? Following nearly 25 years of working in the performing arts industry as an actress myself, I have also had the opportunity to assist directors, train with incredible coaches and view the problems that arise for most actors time and time again. It’s an elusive art form acting and what it takes to be a great actor seems to be equally puzzling because great acting looks so simple. But don’t be deluded into thinking that anything t...

Should People Be Interviewing You About Your Entertainment Career Yet?

I like to pull out the phrase “self-audit” once in a while. We all get so busy and are getting so much done and the achievements, presumably, are adding up. And yes, we should allow ourselves a chance to step back and take pride in whatever our latest accomplishment is. Time should be made to look back on the most recent highlight, but this isn’t one of the many articles that I’m sure you’ve read, encouraging us all to do exactly that. Think about being in that spot, though, and moving on to t...

Ireland-Based Screenwriter Options her First Script through Stage 32

The Dark Origins Before we get started… there’s a few downer moments in this, but rest assured it all comes up roses in the end, so stick with it. I recently optioned my first script, BlackBird to an Irish director/producer who is currently working on preproduction. BlackBird is a hugely personal story. In fact, it is an autobiographical story. It gets super, seriously, rated-R level dark, so I won’t go into those details on this upbeat “happy news” kind of blog. But here is a breakdow...
