Reality Check

Just stop it. Stop it right now.

Whining is only acceptable from 6 year olds who can't tie their shoes.

And honestly, even then, it's annoying.





                                          



You're too big for one these. 

This business requires everyone have a whole drawer full of 
'big boy' and 'big girl' undies.




Just keeping it reel.

Birdman...Wordman

Let me just say from the start of this post  this is not a review of the 2014 film Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Michael Keaton.  It's not a review.

Whether " Into the West " or " The Real Wes t" is the subtitle still remains unclear.  Who pays attention to subtitles though? Seriously.  Do you remember the James Cameron blockbuster Titanic had the subtitle " Love On The Rocks ?"  Steel Magnolias  had the subtitle " The Reckoning ?" Of course you don't!  Regardless if we're heading into the west or the real west , this mini-series was an epic undertaking which took 62 days to shoot in 4 different states. Produced by Warm Spring Productions and shot by LionHeart FilmWorks the filming of Legends & Lies was an epic undertaking. Every little boy wants to be a cowboy at one time or another.

MONEY and all the ugliness of it

It's expensive following your dreams.  Timing might get you an opportunity. Talent might get you in the door.  Luck might get the shot.  Money, though, money is what keeps it going.  There's a lot of expense to being an actor.  It's true you have to spend it to make it, but when you don't have it, what are the chances you are going to make it? PROFESSIONAL HEAD SHOTS. ka-CHING! CASTING WEBSITE SUBSCRIPTIONS ka-CHING! OTHER PROFESSIONAL WEBSITES ka-CHING! WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES ka-CHING! TRAVEL ka-CHING! CLOTHES ka-CHING! AGENTS AND/OR MANAGERS ka-CHING! GYM MEMBERSHIPS ka-CHING! THERAPY ka-CHING! ka-CHING! Therapy is expensive! I don't know what to do.  This is just crazy.  How do you base following your dreams on your financial situation? And yet...there it is. Venting is free.  Nice to know some things about my professional life are.  Just keeping it reel.  Copyright 2015 All Rights Reser...
