LET ME AT IT
I wrapped Best Friends Forever, the latest horror comedy by Liz Manashil and Amy Taylor!
I had so much fun being in this movie and it made me FREAKING ANTSY to practice performing more. I have a lot of notes for myself from this experience, but in a good way (??) where I still feel like I’m in “student mode” and am just eager to keep improving. I keep watching TV and being like “he’s moving his face too much” or “wow, she really landed that joke.” and I’m like GODDAMN LET ME AT THIS! I wanna keep practicing this skill!
So I started kicking around a couple short film ideas that I’d LOVE to work on before filming The Big Thing (i.e. mine and Sandeep Parikh’s feature, Vidhya’s Guide to the Afterlife). My partner asserts that it is “crazy” to try to film something before my feature, and that is probably true, so I have no idea when it will happen. But it’s nice to think about something that will have a short filming period and a shorter turn around than this feature. And as I said, I am simply ITCHING to practice performing more.
Will this happen? Am I “crazy?” Maybe, but at least I’m sort of satisfying this hunger by pretending it is possible. SO STAY TUNED!
