           LOOKING FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER

This week I was on film over at HereandTHERE.Live hosted byDavid Plutado Fugate. This is performing arts venue, that serves, artists, youth and community members in Edina, Minnesota. 

 I liked writing the scene. We had to write a spin off of one of Bill O'Reilly's sketches where O'Reilly becomes frustrated with his film staff for getting the words on the teleprompter wrong.   We had a choice of whether to put our whole written script on the teleprompter or just the words that were supposed to be wrong.  I opted for the one sentence.

  The most intense moment was when the guy behind the teleprompter began counting down 3, 2, 1 and raising his thumb to indicate 'ACTION'.  From there I recited a script that I wrote and did a combination of recitation and improvising.  I really thought that if I improvised some of it- it would bring out the emotion of the scene better. And it worked! Lots of great emotion spilled out as I became frustrated and even threw a pen on the table that bounced and almost hit one of the cast members.  It was a great experience.  I hope to inspire some more people to get out there and try filming.  That's all for this week, please leave your comments below.
