The Road to the Oscars
So, you want to know how I submitted my film to the Oscars? That’s what my company did on our first film. We didn’t plan on going that route, but sometimes in life plans take their own path. Our film, Abyss of Being, was originally being made as a proof of concept film. It’s a movie about PTSD and what happens to relationships when the soldier comes home. One of our producers of the film is a Veteran and has PTSD, so the film took an in-depth look at the reality of this major issue that our Ve...


Only You Can Make it Happen
When I was a kid, just 7 years old, in my village in Armenia I saw Disco Dancer and other Bollywood movies in my village theater. From that time I knew what I wanted to do in my life and who I wanted to be. I wanted to be in the entertainment business. And nothing was going to stop me. A little bit later when I was around the age of 10-12 years I discovered Hollywood stars like Van Damme, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Lee and all the other action stars. After seeing all these things, it motiva...


Battling Ron Burgundy
Hello Stage 32 fellow industry professionals my name is Fred Galle and this is my first ever blog about my journey and adventures to become one of the rising actors and models in the southeast United States.

Working With Child Actors: A Unique Perspective
My name is Anthony. I am a 10 year old child actor and a filmmaker. I have been acting since I was 4, and just recently last year I wrote and directed my own short film called One Nation. So far (when I am writing this blog) my film has screened at 5 film festivals in 5 different states and has won 2 awards. In my short film, all of my actors, except for the teacher, were children. As an actor, when I am on set I hear that I am professional and easy to work with. I didn’t understand how...

Finding and Pursuing your Passion
After serving in the Marines and traveling through Europe, North Africa, Asia, and Southeast Asia, I had a story to tell, I just didn’t know how.

How do you grab hold of this passion and leverage it to land the career of your dreams? Having now successfully transitioned from the military to being a novelist, screenwriter, and video game...

From SXSW to Cannes: An Actor's Journey
EXT: PARENTS HOUSE-DAY There I stood, with a 3 and a half foot pick-axe in my hands doing what seemed to be an endless landscaping job for my parents when my long time friend and director of our movie Krisha texts me and says we got into Cannes. At this point I'm sure most of you are wondering, Bryan, what the hell were doing landscaping work for after your movie had won a grand Jury award at SXSW in Austin and then got accepted into Cannes? Let me back-track some. In fact, let's go back to...

In this 6-minute clip (which is part of his Film Courage interview series) RB goes over what mistakes most people make when they are getting no results on social media, the importance of social currency, "giving" and putting your best f...


Landing 'August: Osage County'
In January (2015), I submitted myself through an online casting site for the role of 'Johnna Monevata' in The Rep's upcoming August: Osage County (Tracy Letts), lead by Creative Director Robert Hupp. In late January, I received an email from The Rep for my audition in the city, which was held during New York City snow blizzard #77! There’s nothing like the stress of it being freezing cold outside and having to be “on” after getting snowed on right before you walk in the door. I auditioned on a...
