sidney lumet and slumps

i was given the gift of sidney lumet's book "making movies" several weeks ago. i began reading it while on vacation and i have since put every single one of his films on my netflix list. what an amazing talent, and what an admirable human being. his respect for artists of all types (including those many of us forget are truly artists), along with his candor and no b.s. attitude....
well i aspire to working with directors such as him, to becoming a respected actor in the eyes of directors with such all-encompassing talent and unimaginable creativity and dedication to the art of film making.
okay, now that i'm done slathering...
it's been a bit slow since returning from vacation, since the easter holiday is upon us, but i expect things to pick up again next week. i have/had an audition here and there, but nothing extremely exciting.
i did just read a wonderful script for a new 1/2 hour, which we will be working on in my class on tuesday--i am very much in love with one of the characters (aptly named "kate") and will do everything in my power to have a chance to read for it. it's some of the best comedic writing i've had the pleasure to read this pilot season. i would be so utterly happy to have a chance to be seen for it. and i am positive it will be picked up. so even if i'm not on it, watch for it--it's quite fun. it's called "dirtbags."
cheers, and if it applies, happy easter!
