Falling Into Now…

As the seasonal shift inspires reflection, I am filled with gratitude and hopefulness for all of us.  Nature is the best example of grace and acceptance. Even in the city streets I am inspired to yield towards nature’s alignment and the knowingness that I am always where I’m supposed to be.

Now is Now.

Here are the latest casting and production updates:

I had the pleasure to cast 2 actors for an immersive fashion experience presented by iconic Italian menswear line Zegna. You can read all about this event produced by K2 Productions in a recent article in Vogue Business.

I had the best time collaborating with fabulously talented and fun writer/director Caro Ribeiro on her nuanced office, Gen Z, comedy short called “Cake”. It was shot on location in Boston and currently in post. I know this film has legs and will put Caro on the map as a filmmaker to look out for.

One of the most rewarding experiences of casting and producing indies is to work with long time friends on their projects. I am always honored when asked to join the production/creative team by talented visionaries who I not only admire but are also cool, kind people. I’m teaming up once again with brilliant writer/director and Sundance alum Moon Molson to cast and co-produce his surreal and suspenseful/horror take on mental illness amongst young black men in his  riveting short called, ‘The Black Dog is Nipping at Your Heels’. Shooting late fall on location in Philly. IMG_2180

I continue my love of teaching and participating on panels. One of the best new film festivals I have experienced is the Bridgeport Film Festival, founded by the multi-talented, Jason Coombs. I was on a recent panel in great company on the subject of the director/actor relationship.

Until the winter update here’s wishing you minimal resistance and joy in the gifts of the present.
