Vanity Fair - the movies of Russell Crowe by Geoff Hall  •  last post Oct 28th

LA Confidential, A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator, American Gangster, to name but a few of the films of Russell Crowe. My favourite by far, is Gladiator. I think because it’s a ‘big world’ story and on its release it was a cinema event.

I remember going to see it (again) as an open air performance in Queens Square, Bristol. Anything open air in Bristol is chancing it with the weather. Even in a drought, rain would find its way to the city.

But in this interview we get to hear that when Crowe started shooting, there was only 21 pages of agreed upon dialogue. Scary, eh. But we often say that filmmaking is a collaborative affair and this whole interview reveals the truth of it, of actors working with the director and writer to make a great film.

What is your takeaway from this? What is your favourite Russell Crowe film?

Enjoy…

Professional Predicament: What Would You Do? by Matthew Gross  •  last post Oct 27th

When I was. hired me for 'Bertie the Brilliant', I had no idea the director wanted me to perform a musical number in Spanish with choreo. I was handed the Spanish lyrics and given a call time for the dance rehearsal. My immediate reaction was to freak out. One of the reasons they hired me was because I appeared in Todrick Hall's visual album "Forbidden" but in that project I wasn't singing or dancing. I'm going to get fired. I have no dance training and, though I know some Spanish words, I'm not fluent. I wanted, needed this project because Warner Media was backing it. "Bertie..." was optioned and the studio could bring it to series or expand it into a theatrical film. That is still on the table in fact. 


What would you do in this situation? Have you faced a similar situation within your career?

I ended up buying clothes and shoes for dance rehearsal. I was prepared to try, even if it meant failure. In the end, I told the truth and they scaled back my role rather than recast my part. I do regret not forcing myself to try harder. The choreo wasn't that complicated, and it was recorded in segments.

A Trick to Getting Cast by Matthew Gross  •  last post Oct 23rd

One morning, before breakfast, I saw a private message for me on Casting Networks. A casting director sent me sides and asked me to record and upload my audition. When I sent the audition, I included a message for casting. Since the film is about a magic show, my message briefly described how my past work in puppetry relates to the film's subject. The director and producers responded to that message, because, unbeknownst to me, they planned to film scenes at the marionette theater where I worked in the 1990s. Leaving a personal, yet professional, message was key in my getting this job. The producers called that night with a job offer. They couldn't decide which role to cast me in, so they let me choose the role. I portray Junior the loveable casino security guard. "Bertie the Brilliant" is currently on PBS. Here is the full episode.

George Clooney, Emma Stone, and Other Top Stars Pitch Abolishing Membership Dues Cap to End SAG-AFTRA Strike by Geoff Hall  •  last post Oct 20th

There are two points to their solution and the second, for me is the most exciting.

Clooney stated,

“We also are suggesting a bottom-up residual structure — meaning the top of the call sheet would be the last to collect residuals, not the first. These negotiations will be ongoing, but we wanted to show that we’re all in this together and find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid.”

My name is Sierra Pia, I am an actress and love meeting fellow artists! I am starting a community called The Artist's Sanctuary, a virtual wellness center designed to provide comprehensive support and resources for both aspiring and professional artists (currently focusing on actors). My goal is to create a place where artists can build community and skill sets that will help them throughout their personal and professional journey. Since 95% of our job is based on our mindset. 


I am doing a short trial of the format and content that I plan to offer which would be a FREE trial where you would learn from a wide array of awesome coaches and artists who have some amazing insight and are ready to inspire and motivate you to continue to increase the quality of your career and artistic path.  
I am limiting this experience to 10 actors, but I would absolutely love to share this experience with you all! Please reach out if you are interested.
