  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

KETCH ROSSi

Hi Ketch - are you still considering being the lead actor?
 
Hi Ketch - are you still considering being the lead actor?

Hi Robino, in this story the lead actor is the Female Character "Samantha" and then there are two male Co-Stars, and yes, since I do write for myself to make and play in my films, I will have one of the 2 Co-Starring male roles.

Then there are 2 more strong female supporting roles, and an array of smaller roles, which includes all the Models and Victims.

At the end of the day, I must say that I surely do not consider myself an actor, never went to school for it never will, but more like playing myself in the roles I write about, which in all current Screenplays, I simply re-enact accounts which might have happened in my life directly or indirectly, this is not to say that I could not find any other great Actor to interpret it, just that I don't want to, as this is what I want to do, similarly to several other Actors turned Directors, just that I am actually entering the Feature Film arena doing both at the same time.

An adventure, a big one, that I intend to leave fully in all it's unknowns and enjoy at last what I have worked hard for my entire life.

Ketch, I think that you might reconsider acting in your movie.

I appreciate the advise Shane, but this is what I wanted to do my all life, and I will line up cast and crew accordingly, but it is what I am going to do... :)

What Stallone did with Rocky, was ultimately what drove me to follow my dream... No matters how many say no, till there will be that one yes... Same as He once did.

The rest will be up to the audience.
 
What is life's worth is one is not chasing his dreams and his own goals? Go for it, Ketch. Is not about the destination, but the journey.

EXATLY Sergio!!

I have hesitated so many times in life, and I sow it just pass me by... NO MORE!!

I am doing it and I am doing it NOW!!

If the audience will like what I do or not, that will be entirely an other story, but I would have at last done what I had set up to do when I was but a boy with a BIG dream and not a single idea of what really life was!

And that Journey continues on...

Prepping to go back to Italy to sale any and all Gear that I have there and while there take a Summer brake and also shoot few Sexy Fashion Films and Short Narrative Films, and come back to the US again to move along with my first Feature...

I guess even my Special Edition Denali will go on sale... :(

But such is the way of things, at the end they are just objects which can be purchased once again when finances will allow...

For now all eyes on retiring to leave permanently in LA!!

So about to say good by to LA, for few months and return with a other S*IT load of Passion and Perseverance!!
 
DragonM8 got a new look for the Summer... :)

The box of dreams!

Great style, as always.

Hugs man!

... there are options & shortcuts.

=> acting teacher.
=> empathic director.
=> fail & improve (lone wolf style). <= i like that one, too, like a lot(!) - but it´s always paid with time - and sometimes gets out of synch with regular speed reality.
-> back to collaboration ...
=> fellow actors. Fellow directors. fellow many things ... ;-)

... or: good old plain and simple dreaming ... so many ways to go for the trip of life ... :-))


times and opportunities are changing - sometimes things match up, sometimes they don´t ... sometime there is a method to madness and sometime luck.
some times, there is vision. seeing the void that wants to be filled. sometimes, it is wishing to have been the void to be filled.


Guess the most important one: looking out for family & friends.

doing a love´s work - who cares about the audience when true love is at work, => guess there was a key to good acting -

to "authentic" artistic expression,
cheers ... :-)

Thanks so much Bohdan!!

The real fun is about to begin... Flying off to Italy for the Summer, stopping in Paris, then Switzerland, Germany possibly back to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, then back to LA for the fall to shake up some Hollywood people... ;)

And in the spirit of NEVER stopping... Here we go... :)

Summer/Autumn R3D DragonM8 planned trip w Maxx Digital Schneider Kreuznach Schneider Optics Blueshape EnergyInside BLUESHAPE USATrost Motion Kessler Crane® Miller Camera Support Equipment BB&S Area 48 Soft, Bright Tangerine Matteboxes Ome.US darkroom, Austin Glass Thin LCD Cable, DJI Ronin and that is a lot of gear to go in to my Denali... But there are actually few more pieces to be announced... And it will make for a very long fun trip of shooting that will include several Fashion Films and few Adventurous Short Films... And of course a FANTASTIC excuse to see friends fellow Filmmakers and Reduser on this side of the world before I return to Hollywood/Los Angeles... Unless I do get severely delayed in Paris, France for my first Feature Film...

But there will be surprises on the way for sure, and my itinerary could change on a moment's notice... And that is the true fun of it all... The pure spirit of the Independent Filmmaker!!
