Default Re: stage VS film


Funny story about mistakes on the stage...

I don't know how many of you have seen or read Last Night of Ballyhoo, but I was Peachy, my best friend was Uncle Adolph, and then some other no talent jackass was Joe...anyway there is a point where Joe and I are waiting to pick up our dates and Joe and Adolph are supposed to be hitting it off anf enjoying each other and I am supposed to sit silently...well Joe wasn't on stage (I won't go into the reasons why he wasn't because they make me furious) and so you have two people, the ONLY two people on stage are two people who never talk to each other throughout the show...I start walking around looking at stuff, Jeff keeps on with this silent treatment and snourting and coughing and stuff, it was so ****ing funny...finally Jeff just opens his mouth and says, "You know, I thought you would be the one who was late." And everyone starts cracking up...brillient "Oh shti come up with something" moment.

Anyway that having been said I have done a fair bit of both. Alot of people I went to High School with all went to Film School, so at LEAST once a month I am working with them on their film projects, once I even got to star in a project that was using 18mm film, my god was that incredible for me. I don't think you can truly be good at one without the other. And I stand by that. Stage (for me anyway) is more of a pulling exercise, trying to pull more and more things out, where as film is much more of a art for control, trying to control all that you want to let go of. You need to be strong in both areas for either one to look the way it should.

Now recently I have loved performing in movies more then stage, it may be that my focus has shifted, but I see myself doing better work on film then I do stage. It also has alot to do with the fact I enjoy the writing of film much more then the writing of stage. And there is a world of difference, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I think stage becasue that is where the real talent is tested. Films can have editing but stages has none.

But more entertaing is films becasue of obvious reasons
