The Five Things You Need to Know About Storyboards (Plus a journey in learning all of them.) As a little girl I was always drawn to drawing (pun fully intended) as well as to any type of storytelling. The shows I were obsessed with while growing up always had a strong influence on what I wanted to do as an adult, an important fact I only discovered much later in life. When I was into cop shows, I wanted to be a detective, that was until I learned you had to wear a uniform and follow orders....

The Film Industry was never my intention nor career choice. Unlike most, for me, it just happened. I had moved to Los Angeles in the early 80s to start up a consulting business and had the good fortune to befriend a few actors. I was only in L.A. for a year when one of them asked if I would be interested with working on a small movie. Curiosity got the best of me and I accepted. The first week of pre-production I was a Production Assistant, by the 2nd week I was the Location Scout and that of co...

I’d like to write about something that I feel very strongly about, and passionate about, but am still learning to do. I believe this is essential for those involved in creative industries; those who feel the desire to create and express themselves; those who act, write, perform and create. As we all know, the creative process never ceases. It may stall or idle, but there is always a need, a drive, an internal force allowing it to happen. It’s a creative process and journey. But as the cliché goe...

I was just some kid. As a teenager I moved a lot due to my parents’ attempts to lead a better life for the family, for my four sisters and I. I’m originally from the Philippines. I’m sure you’ve met a Filipino at this point, we’re kind of everywhere now, infamous for our intense passion for karaoke. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 15. This lanky teenager still reeling from losing his friends, being devoured by the massive culture shock that was America. And I had to enter American high schoo...

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. I'm excited that the movie I’m currently in, Vacation, directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley is now in theaters.

J.P. Morgan said, “Millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do.” Timing is everything. When everything’s going right…that’s astrological. It’s the same when you can’t get anyone to give you the time of day. We’re living in a karmic matrix. I discovered this as a teenager, watching my mom cast the charts of my girlfriends. She was always right on. I said, “Okay, teach me this stuff.” That was back in the 70s. Since then I have had many teachers. It was in the early 80s when I discovered t...

During my high school years, I created a broadcasting show for the community and went on to be production manager of the Clemson cable network in college. After graduation, I was accepted to Florida State’s Master of Fine Arts program in Screenwriting. However, I am from a long line of small town family physicians, and the societal expectation that I should take over that role intensified when my grandfather passed away during my first year of film school. Science was always the subject I care...
