Is there a role that changed the trajectory of your career? by Suzanne Bronson • last post Oct 14th
Character Posters by Brandon Keeton • last post Oct 14th
Back in the day, I LOVED the film "Clue" with Tim Curry. I remember going to the theatre and seeing not just the regular poster for the film, but each character got their own poster. Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, the whole cast!

Voice Flexibility by Adam Reiver • last post Oct 14th
I had an interesting conversation with a lit manager recently who suggested I lean into a thriller I’d been developing — even though my natural lane is dark comedy. His point was simple (and humbling): it’s an easier door to open right now than TV.

Production is Hell - And I'm Not Quite Dead... Yet by Morgan Aitken Ipg • last post Oct 14th
I've gone dark for a while, but not forever. I guess it's called 'in production' in filmmaker-speak. So far, I've been through: contract breaches; lead talent jumping ship; at least 3 major re-writes on the fly; 9 timezones, equipment failures that would put Apollo 13 to shame; tropical storms; injuries; eye watering financial outlay; getting SWATed and footage seized; a police raid; getting arrested; ending up in the middle of NATO live-fire war games; geo-political posturing that's puts us in the cross-hairs; running out of food and fuel; and even a lightning strike. As I write this I'm flat on my back with with bruised kidneys (pissing blood), broken ribs, a black eye, at least 500 miles from any medical help; and so long without a shower, I can't stand my own stench. But, by Dog, we're gonna get this film in the can, even if it kills us!

Where and how are you playing small in terms of your creative process ? by Alexandra Stevens • last post Oct 12th
Just finished reading @RB's blog, "Coffee & Content" . Very pertinent to actors because it contains a link to a You Tube documentary about Charlize Theron's career. Admittedly I didn't know much about it other than Monster. It's illuminating and inspiring because it shows her to be an actress that is more interested in pushing herself (as an action movie actress) and stretching herself (as in Monster) than playing it safe and being the pretty girlfriend sidekick she had been typecast as in the earlier days of her career.

Learning to Say “No” by Leonardo Ramirez 2 • last post Oct 10th
This week, my daughter was cast in an indie film—but after reading the scene she’d be part of, she decided to pass. Without going into detail, the content was simply too dark, and she knew in her gut she’d regret it later.
It reminded me how important it is, as creatives, to know our boundaries and trust our instincts. Saying “no” isn’t always easy—but sometimes it’s the most empowering thing we can do for ourselves and our craft.
So I’m curious:
Have you ever had to say no to a part, a job, or an opportunity because it didn’t feel right? How did you handle it—and did it turn out to be the right choice?
