Let’s Try This Again, Shall We?
Almost two years exactly since our original production of Marie Jones’ Stones in His Pockets was shut down by COVID-19, here we are again getting this puppy up on its feet in time for a St. Patrick’s day Weekend opening. Conor McGuigan and I start intense rehearsals tonight to get this fabled two-hander cooking. Stones…

New Voice-over Demos!
Trying to get a head start on the whole “New year, new you” bullshit, I’ve been getting some new voice-over demos ready to roll. I’m also going to try and standardize my spelling of voice-over to the hyphenated version. I’ve been very higgledy-piggledy with it, and that’s not good unless you have someone checking your…

What’s this thing called, Love?
The Thing, of course. ‘The Thing was born out of the idea of, “Hey, we’re in a pandemic. No one’s really working on set (back in March), and everyone is pretty familiar with Zoom. I wonder if we could set up a Zoom and get some people involved in creating?”’ [Stolen from their About page.]…

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Brett Piper [Outpost Earth, The Dark Sleep] has taken to making stop-motion adaptions of classic stories. The Outpost Earth DVD comes with a copy of Journey to the Center of the Earth. After we wrapped Outpost Earth, Brett asked me if I’d do the narration for his adaptation of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the…

Fun with green screen at endeavor studio
Spent an hour or so with Conor McGuigan and the crew at Endeavor Studio doing some pre-production work for an upcoming Christmas-themed shoot. Conor will be performing Tinsel, the Elf [a puppet–um, Tinsel, although Conor has sometimes been mistaken for a Muppet himself], and I will be the Jolly Old Elf himself in a video…
