Holy Shit, I’ve been thinking about Horror Movies.
Monday, October 12th, 2009 | Uncategorized
I’ve been processing my last blog and have accepted it as a call to action. I purchased a book on screen writing which I will finish reading this month and brainstorming ideas on a low budget horror film. I have something very dark and scary that happened to a close friend a couple years ago that left me deeply affected and scarred to this day (as well as scared). I am not going to share details because I honor her memory, nor do I want to recreate that story. There are elements I want to use, certain elements that border on paranormal activities which at the time they occurred I just ignored that they happened. They were too eerie to accept as reality. There are some things the mind cannot accept, and whether or not what it sees is just manifestation/illusion/hallucination is unprovable. When you are alone and unexplained things happen, you’re the only one judging your own sanity. Call it whatever you want. It was real for me and completely unexplainable. I’m going to keep pursuing this.
Today I was surfing the internet reading the headline news and I come across an article regarding a horror movie that was made in 2007 called Paranormal Activity . Quite Coincidental. I even know the lead actor, Micah Sloat. Took a Groundlings class with him a few years ago, gave him a ride one night after school. Really nice guy. I’ve definately been proven wrong that low budget can break through again like Blair Witch Project did. In fact, it’s pretty clear that more movies like that can definately make it. And for Micah, this is his first IMDB credit, with his popularity going up over %1,000 percent today. Things can happen fast, and where you were a year ago as an actor can be drastically different a year from now. Sticking around, right place right time, preparation meeting opportunity, synchronicity. Congratulations, Micah!
Update on other acting matters:
I auditioned for My Little Pony/Hasbro last week at John McCarthy casting. Far cry from Horror. Call backs are today and tomorrow. I have not been invited as of yet. I signed back up on Nowcasting.com a few weeks ago after a few year hiatus. Today I have an audition for a comedy Christmas play (equity waiver). I plan to have fun at that! And that is that.
