I ended up doing some research on the internet about rape victims and very quickly stories of conga, africa came up. I spent alot of last night in tears at the stories the women were telling. The men are raping babies as small as 9 months now! I rea…

I have had a hard time finding "christian acting agencies" as well. Christian entertainment is not as developed as secular-meaning alot of "christian" agencies and huge projects have yet to happen. BUT here are my ideas (coming from a very limited s…

Thanks soo much for your help! I think I can actually use both suggestions. But I don't know if this situation is something I can ask someone to share their story easily because it's a character who was raped repeatedly by her step father starting a…

Maybe someone in your life has endured a similar situation.I would try to find someone and ask them how they felt. Then study their verbal and nonverbal behavior as they tell you their situation. People love to share their life stories. Depending on…

I was just wondering about some acting techniques or methods one uses to make certain scenes vulnerable and authentic? I have not personally endured the situation my character has and need to portray a very vulnerable scene. I want it to be authenti…

Do you blog about movies? You are a good writer. What are some of your goals with film making, acting? The monk and nun movie sounds really interesting. I would totally go and see it! Are you from L.A.?

The only films I've been in were films produced by student filmmakers in the LA area. Some shoots were really professional and had crews of up to 40+ people and a lot of complicated equipment...others were literally just a director with a camera and…

Well-make sure you tell me-I'm very curious! I started Casablanca. It grabbed my attention immediately. It's very beautiful. I haven't been able to finish it. That's the challenge with little kids. I can't watch whatever I want whenever I want. It's…

Moving forward

After taking some time to regroup and pray I am feeling really thankful that things went awry. Wierd, huh? What I mean is that I was forced to do some serious thinking about what I was doing, how I was doing and where did I see myself in the future. I was kind of forced to think about ministry "for real" and not just as a "what if". I think God knew that I wouldn't get my butt in gear if this hadn't happened. I am so grateful that our heavenly Father knows us so well and intimately that He knows… Continue

Let go of the wheel

Okay I've been getting into the mind set to let things go and just focus on enjoying every day life. And it's really helped me to "calm down" internallly and thank God for all of the things that happen everyday. It's helped me to relax when the house gets messy or the kids do something "kiddish". But it seems as though now I'm getting some clarity on things in my life. I guess it took me to get my hands off the wheel for God to take it.

Losing actors

I've recently been faced with the fact that when God is in control, He REALLY is in control. When I think something is going to happen one way-I get thrown for a loop-de-loop! The play that I wrote 3 years ago revolving around gun crime is set to open again August 7,8,9th of this year. But I keep losing actors! The one's that are committed to rehearsals have been wonderful but I'm missing my lead character. So frustrating! But I have to let it go, let it go, let it go! This is God's play and His… Continue

What is a christian actor?

Well was searching for Christian actor sites and decided to join! I am an actor, writer and director. I love performing and want to use my talents to glorify God and share the love of Christ with others. I recently came to a place in my spiritual life that I had to make a decision. Am I going to go after what the world has or am I going to submit my life and talents to God? Was I seeking after other things or was I seeking His kingdom? I came to the harsh reality that part of me was still seekin… Continue
