happenings

hello there at the end of a rather slacker week. it was my b-day on monday so i sort of took it easy. also this stifling heat and humidity *forced* me to go to the beach a few times....

but here's what did happen:

• went to hear about producing your own film. interesting stuff in terms of trying to develop exposure for yourself and showcasing of your talents. also dauntingly complicated. i really liked the woman who spoke though, TAN member stephanie saxe. i hope to keep in touch with her and maybe do some work on one of her sets.
• i signed up for improv class at second city--now just have to determine what level i can enter into. that happens next week.
• went to an info session on the writer's bootcamp based here in l.a. met jeff gordon and cameron graham there, had a little lunch, and discovered that i would like to scrounge up the money to do this. but that'll be a ways down the road. meanwhile, there is an opportunity to join their writer's group in an actor capacity, similar to that of safehouse. looking forward to it.
• heard manager christie thomas speak. a new management candidate for me--she really knows her stuff, has worked in other aspects of the business, worked in nyc for years, and has a really great (and dare i say unusual) attitude about her responsibility to her clients. definitely someone i'd like to have on my side!
• also spoke to barbara divisek, recently joined with the savage agency, via referral from a friend. i'll be dropping by her office monday to say hello and deliver my material. yay!

okay, that's it. nothing too crazy this week, but hey, i was busy laying in the sand and giving my boogie board a workout! surf lessons next week...... :)
