May will be my ninth month of straight filming since September. I was recently cast as the lead in a short film shooting in Bronxville, NY. We have been shooting over the course of two weekends and are getting set for one more. The crew has been extremely professional and awesome to work with, so I'm really looking forward to the finished product.
In other news, I finally got a chance to send some follow-up postcards to casting directors I have met in the past year. I also signed up for a class with Kim Micsia, casting director of projects like Gossip Girl, Bella, and Bored to Death, at TVI Studios, set to start in June. And I'm looking into classes at T. Schreiber Studio and One on One NYC. Not to mention, I have to get back to taking classes at Penny Templeton Studio, where I did my first on-camera work and met my current agent =)
Any suggestions on what classes to take/where to take them?
Now for writing and the rest of my life: I've been doing a ton of copywriting and ghostwriting, but not nearly as much creative writing as I'd like to be doing. Time to look over my goals again? I think so. Two upcoming projects/partnerships will hopefully kick my butt in the right direction. One is a screenplay, the other a fiction novel. At the latest, these will get off the ground in June.
Oh, and with the start of May, the adventure season has officially begun. We ran a 5K last weekend and ran a very short distance in a marathon to catch a train (long story). Next up are a host of more 5K races, a triathlon, a few bike tours, a couple of adventure races, and some sick obstacle courses.
Now if only I could find some time to sleep…
