Keep Writing

Things have really slowed down audition-wise recently. That's good and bad. Bad because daddy needs work and good because it's given me time to write. Not the blog, but screenplays.

I recently went back to a screenplay for a short film I'd been working on years ago but had abandoned for many different reasons. It's not an earth-shattering script and my wife even said, "It was never an earth-shattering idea." And she's right, it's not. I guess my point is, keep writing. Finishing the script, even if it's not the awesome piece of comedy I want it to be is more important right now. I fell off the creative wagon some time ago and I have to say, it's good to be back, even for a little while, even with a less than perfect wagon.

Can't We All Get Along?

It's been pretty slow on the commercial audition front, but I did get a call for one the other day. My agent called, gave me the details and proceeded to ask if I "had any conflicts with biscuits?" That is my new favorite phrase. "Do you have any conflicts with biscuits?" None whatsoever.

For those who don't know, when you audition for on-camera commercials, if you've already made a commercial for "Bob's Soda", you can't be in or audition for a commercial for a competetor's product, like "Steve's Soda." You'd be endorsing two competing products, and that's a no-no. I'm not 100% sure as to why exactly, but it does make sense.

Now let it be known across the universe, I have no conflict with biscuits! Can't we all get along?
