Four Practical Habits to Help Creatives Stay Grounded and Achieve Consistent Results. "It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward." - Chinese proverb As actors, we all have huge dreams and aspirations: one day winning an Oscar, being on a Broadway stage, getting into Marvel-ready shape, or getting that top-tier agent. For better or worse, we think big and relentlessly pursue our goals. We sprint towards them, stum...

A Little History Lesson... It was back in 2023 when Sandra Isabel Correia and I met during the November Write Club. We encouraged each other with our project targets and in December we kept in touch, supporting each other in our ventures. During that chilly December, the Universe whispered in my ear, that maybe Sandra could help me resurrect my Producer career and work on my feature film, Seeing Rachel. Towards the end of that month, I wrote to Sandra asking if she’d be open to a proposal fro...

Happy Thursday, Creative Army! “This is a community for you, built by you.” When I was conceiving Stage 32 way back in 2009, those were some of the first words I wrote down on a legal pad I titled THE MISSION. The mission hasn’t changed. The song remains the same. Many of you know the story. During our soft launch in 2011, I reached out to 100 of my industry friends and showed them the first version of Stage 32. I asked them to join and tell me what they liked and didn’t like about the pla...

There is no shortage of acting techniques for the actor in training. From Stanislavsky and Chekov to Demidov and Meisner and Adler to Strasberg and everything in between. There is a shortage however on methods for safely accessing and regulating emotion in the process of using these acting techniques when developing a Character. The Traditional Traditional acting techniques have their own philosophies on how to access emotion. From Demidov’s “passively surrendering” and being guided by their...

When I decided to tell my story through animation, I wasn’t starting completely from scratch—I had five years of experience learning about the business side of the entertainment industry. During those five years, I spent three focusing specifically on film and two on animation, immersing myself in the craft. Even with that background, stepping into the creative side of your own project feels nerve-wracking, like entering unfamiliar territory, despite the experience. I don’t draw, and I didn’t...

Happy Sunday, Creative Army! Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in. When we sit down to write, we don’t always know what the story will become. Sometimes, the heart of it reveals itself in the process. In this week’s first video, Erin Foster shares how her own experience converting to Judaism led to the inspiration for her new Netflix romantic comedy series, Nobody Wants...

I'm an experimenter who prefers to learn by doing. In the beginning, that meant significant errors in my recording process. Getting smart, I signed up for some audio engineering courses and learned a lot. I clicked and watched as what I recorded compressed, but not precisely in the way I imagined. And I forgot to save the original recording! My tendency to click and see what happens came back to bite me. Without fail, save your original recording in raw form. It's my number one audio engineeri...
