        Way to go Artists!  Keep going!

[if !supportEmptyParas]  [endif]

I have been watching all the creative activities going on in Hong Kong in the last few months.  It is so exciting to see how actors, writers, directors, and producers are all working together to create films on the streets of your city.   Hong Kong has more film festivals for small films and it appears that many of you are taking the incentive to create your own projects.

You are busy out there.  48 Hour Film Festivals.  Hey Spencer don’t stop I see you doing this a lot.  And between films, TV series for the web and classic theater you all are out there and “kickin’ ----”.

So many actors here in Los Angeles have been writing and directing and producing films.  I encourage actors to write.  In fact they have been writing back stories for their characters for years so why not see what you have to offer.

Every time I have come to teach workshops in Hong Kong I am thrilled with the energy and initiative that surrounds this artistic community.   I love being a part of it.

As I have been preparing for the next group of workshops in December I have kept this all in mind.  So I am planning even more of the audition training both from the perspective of the actor and also for the director.  You will get a bird’s eye view of the audition both from the view of the actor and also from the director and producers’ chairs.  Many times seeing the process from another view point can really open your eyes to your own limitations.

Directors, you can learn how in a few short cues or instructions you can find out the depth and breadth of the actors’ abilities.  Actors, you can learn how to make the most of the time you have in the room with the director and also how to prepare in a way that will allow you to give your best performance.   Writers, you will also see how you can strengthen your writing by watching the audition process.

I love to hear about all the exciting artistic events happening in Hong Kong.  As I read about them I get even more excited about returning to teach in December.

See you for some “Kick Ass” Work and Fun !
