Once the floor opened up for questions, RB hit on everything from filmmaking, acting, distribution and more, and then finished wit...

Some of what I am planning on accomplishing in 2015 includes writing 2 scripts, completing my crowdsourcing book for Focal Press, dipping my toes back into acting, filming a short and implementing a myriad of Stage 32 initiatives....
