Back in the Groove

Hey,

Alright so it has been almost a week since I have been home, to be exact 5 days. Most of those days, or rather, all of those days have been spent catching up with my friends and girlfriend who has the patience of Job to deal with me and my radical behaviour.

So now that "vacation" is over it is time to start getting back on the streets and selling myself.

Wow, didn't think that through.

I am in progress of updating all my resume's and photos to bring into my agency tomorrow in attempts to garner at least as much work as last summer. Hopefully more.

I am flat broke this time around and will probably have to cave to working at a gas station or McDonalds, both of which I think would be quite interesting to work at. But enough about my potential unemployment and more about the opportunities that are coming about!

I have probably already mentioned my involvement in a festival created my one of my fellow NTS'rs, Sebastien Heins, who graduated earlier this month. He and I as well as 4 other performers are showing our talents in a two hour evening on the 27th at 8pm at the Bus Stop Theatre in Halifax. I am stoked for this show because it will be the first time I have performed my Vocal Masque outside of school and I also get to meet a lot of cool people, which is always a bonus.

After this I, potentially, have a gig on June 4th, which is an evening of short plays and I have been tentatively cast in this as well! So some good coverage coming up, but no monies.

So here is hoping that I can get some film work ASAP. For my cats sake.

Also, my girlfriend and I went to see "Fishing' by Jeremy Webb and Stacy Smith. It was awesome if you have the chance to see it, do it.

Just a short one tonight, but I will keep you posted. Check out my twitter and IMDB!

Night Abyss.

One Month,One Day

Time freaking flies.

A cool thing happened of late. Well it has been over a month since my last post, so technically multiple things have happened.

I have of course been working nonstop as well as attending school, which I am growing quite fond of. The second semester is going really well versus the last one. I have also been trying to get as much work as possible with acting for obvious reasons.

In the next coming weeks some great things are happening. But first lets talk about the past.

Most recently I was the lead character in a reading of a show called With Bated Breath. For those of you who may not know of this show let me provide a little back story...

Bryden Macdonald is the playwright and the show deputed in Montreal April 21st 2009. It then went on to win multiple Canadian Theatre awards. So, last week a man named Thom Fitzgerald (director of Three Needles) who is a friend of Bryden's chose to commission a reading of the play to expose the show to the community where I live. I was chosen to be the lead character after auditioning for Thom and I got to work with some of the top actors in the city on the project. We had a day to get everything together and present it the same night at a showing which Bryden attended. Meaning, I got to meet him and schmooze with some really great people.


There is some great news that I have to save till later due to confidentiality. I can't wait to inform you.

My agent is working super hard to get me into as many things as possible to expose me to as many people as she can.

I have a couple short film auditions in the next coming weeks and I will update with those outcomes.

I have not met Ellen Page yet, but I am hoping to run into her soon.

That's it so far.
