Here's a view of the Planes unloading at Denver airport.

As this blog for the next couple o' weeks is primarily for my class at CP Casting, here's some "here's how we usually do it info".

This movie I'm doing now is what I would call an incredibly "high end" student film. The director has strung together a great cast and an equally talented and committed crew. I've met a few of them and I'm very pleased.

Usually, when a union actor is flown to a set, if it's more than a 3 hour flight, they provide 1st class seating and other amenities, ie: per diem, parking, etc. On this film, we're all working together to get this thing done with considerably less money. We've all made sacrifices to make this great script come to life. for me it was flying from boston to DC to Denver to .....where ever I am now. Other sacrifices compliment this production. I think it's actually a great mindset to have that you should be willing to do a little (or a lot ) extra to make the project happen. When you approach the work like that, you become more involved (at a very basic level) with the creation of the piece and you strengthen your claim of being an "Artist"

No matter how big a star any of you become, be prepared to sweat and struggle on the set, and feel the physical exhaustion that hard work can create. Your work will be richer and more deeply connected. it goes back to a twist on Stanislavsky. He demands that work ethic for sure, and commitment to the role, but I add that the feeling you get from that very commitment and exhaustive "execution of the cfreative process" as an actor, not just as the character, is part of the "method of physical actions" that is the very root of the honest, visceral, and organic life that a living spirit, being character thrives on.
