    Tyler Perry Studios casting veteran Rhavynn Drummer returns to Get Scene Unscripted to tell Jesse Malinowski why actors dismissing verticals as "bad acting" are missing the biggest paid training ground in years, after producing 7 micro dramas in just 7 months. She also breaks down why casting directors have no union or residuals, the Sing Sing equal-pay ownership model, and why AI "can be sad, but it can't be complex."Join Our Newsletter:https://getscenestudios.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=7660af20fdb3c04d6b6516591&id=eecb804958Join our Patreon!⁠https://www.patreon.com/cw/GetScenePod⁠Get Your Ticket For Our Virtual Summit!https://www.getscenestudios.com/virtual-actors-summit

    Why do talented actors still struggle to book roles? In Season 2 Episode 2 of Actors, You Are Enough, Master Acting Coach Amy Lyndon and Talent Agent Ofelia Habelt explore why talented actors don't book roles and what consistently helps working actors stand out in auditions. Talent alone doesn't build a successful acting career. Confidence, preparation, technique, and understanding how the industry works are what separate actors who consistently book from those who don't.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why confidence comes from knowing exactly what you're doing, not just natural talent.• What Amy calls "stabilization" and how it creates stronger, more confident performances.• The difference between TV and film auditions, and why understanding your role in the story matters.• How proper preparation, including researching the show, writer, and director can improve your auditions.• Why trying to please casting directors often works against you.• How ego, inconsistency, and poor preparation stop talented actors from booking.• Why networking, continuous learning, and commitment are essential for building a long-term acting career.• The inspiring story of an actor who drove four hours multiple times a week to improve his craft and why that level of commitment helped him stand out.Throughout the conversation, Amy and Ofelia share practical advice from both the coaching and talent agency perspectives. From self-tape preparation and script analysis to mindset, confidence, and professional habits, this episode is filled with actionable insights that actors can immediately apply to their careers.

The bill has received vocal support from the likes of the International Federation of Actors, Danny O'Donoghue of The Script, and former arts minister Catherine Martin.

    This is a director's podcast, but the truth is I don't talk with enough actors on here about the struggle they face in indie film. It offers a different lens on how difficult it is to get things made. That's why I'm so happy to be joined by Robert R. Palmer, actor/writer in the film LAST MAN UP (2026), which premiered at the Palm Springs International ShortFest.When we talked about the plight of actors, and I went through the ways especially an LA-based person had to get ahead -- influencing; writing your own script for a great role; other social media activities -- the difficult challenge for actors right now is getting ahead....by actually acting!So Robert did something creative: he wrote a project that he could star in and then reached out to an ultra-talented director named Hazel McKibbin. (I'll talk to Hazel next episode.) It's both a show of humility and genius, and I cannot wait for you to hear his story.Robert and I talk about:how he describes the film;what it's like writing a role that you know -- as an actor -- you'll play;taking a story about masculinity and pitching it to a director who sees things through a feminist lens;how he got involved in filmmaking and how he wrote this project to get to the level of work he wanted to be at;what life is like as a young actor in LA;working with the director for the film and what he wishes directors knew about the acting life;what's next for him and why you should hire him for your next project.Memorable Quotes:"It's a tragedy, but a fun tragedy."On masculinity and feminism: " they're two sides of the same coin";"I'm an actor, first and foremost."" Being a young actor in LA, it's a grind. It's a hustle.""Actors want to be left alone."Links:Follow Robert On Instagram

    Episode 398: Make Your Own Content

    "Make Your Own Content" Is Incomplete Advice. Here Is What It Actually Means. I was scrolling TikTok, as one does, and I came across an actor who was fired up. She said the advice to make your own content is terrible. Her take was basically, I'm an actor, not a writer, not a producer, not a director. I don't have a crew or a budget. So what are you actually asking me to do here? Pull a short film out of thin air between my day job and my auditions? And I watched that video and thought, you know what, there's a point there that's fair. But I also think the advice is incomplete. Not wrong. Incomplete. And incomplete advice is dangerous because it sounds reasonable enough that people try it, fail, and then blame themselves. So today I want to unpack what make your own content actually means, who it's for, and how it means something completely different if you're a voice actor. The Advice Is Missing a Map As it's typically delivered, in workshops, masterclasses, panels, the advice sounds like this. Don't wait to be cast. Create your own opportunities. Write something. Film something. Put it out there. For a certain type of actor with a certain set of skills and resources, that advice is genuinely transformative. I've seen it work. But here is what it quietly assumes. It assumes you can write, or that writing is easy to pick up on top of everything else you're already doing. It assumes you have access to equipment and someone who knows how to use it. It assumes you have time. Not just time, but the kind of uninterrupted, energized creative time that doesn't happen at 10pm after a full day of survival jobbing and self-taping. It assumes you have money for space, editing, sound, and the seventeen other things that go into putting something on screen. And it assumes that the part of you that loves acting also loves producing. Those are not the same skill set. They are often not even the same personality type. So yes. As a blanket statement handed to every actor in every room, make your own content is incomplete at best and demoralizing at worst. What Nobody Tells You Recently I got together with some creative friends and we all said the same thing. We want to make something. We have ideas and we're tired of waiting. And here is what happened next, and this is the part that never gets said. We divided it up. I like to write, so I wrote some scenes. I don't want to be on camera, so I'm not going to be. A friend wants to film, so she's behind the camera. She needs reel content, so we're building it so she gets that. Other people are acting in it. The only money we're spending is on the space to film. That's it. Nobody is doing everything. Nobody is wearing every hat. Nobody is burned out before we even start. We collaborated. I know that sounds obvious when I say it out loud. But I don't think it's what people picture when someone says make your own content. They picture one exhausted person alone in their apartment trying to write, film, light, direct, act, edit, and distribute a short film by themselves. And that version is a nightmare. The collaboration version is actually fun. It's sustainable. It gets finished. So if you've been sitting on this advice and feeling like you can't do it because you're not a filmmaker, I want you to recalibrate the question. The question isn't can I make this content alone. The question is who do I know who wants to make something. Those are very different questions, and the second one is a lot more answerable. For Voice Actors, This Conversation Is Better Here is what making your own content looks like in voiceover. You need something to read. Then you record yourself reading it. You don't need a location, a camera, lighting rigs. You need your booth, your mic, your interface, and something worth recording. That something still needs to be good. You can't grab any text off the internet and call it content. It needs to be written well and serve a purpose. But here's what the on-camera version of this advice doesn't have access to that you do. There are artists everywhere who want their work heard. Poets who have never had their work read aloud by a professional voice actor. Playwrights with monologues sitting in a drawer. Short story writers who would lose their minds if they found someone with a real studio setup who wanted to record their work. Indie game developers who need narration. Indie comic writers who want audio versions of their stories. People are writing things right now who don't know you exist. And you can be the person who brings their words to life. In exchange, you get professional material to record, a real sample, and a collaboration that means something. That's not just making content. That's building a creative network. That's two artists making each other's work better. What to Actually Do This Week If you're an on-camera actor, stop trying to do this alone. Make a list of five creative people in your life. Actors, writers, directors, photographers. Send them a voice memo. Say something like, hey, I've been wanting to make something. Are you in? You will be surprised how fast a team assembles when someone actually initiates. Start smaller than you think. A two-person scene. A monologue filmed in a living room. A table read on Zoom. Something you can actually finish is worth infinitely more than a grand vision that never gets started. If you're a voice actor, find a writer this week. Go to an open mic. Post in a local Facebook group or Discord. Reach out to someone whose Substack you love and tell them you'd love to record something they've written as a creative project. Most writers have never been asked this. Most of them will say yes. The Bottom Line Make your own content is not wrong. It's just been delivered without a map. Figure out what you actually bring. Find people who bring the rest. Start smaller than your ego wants you to. And do not try to be a one-person production company unless that is genuinely who you are. If you're a voice actor, your version of this is more accessible than almost anyone's. You have the setup. You have the skill. And there are artists out there right now who want exactly what you can offer. Go find them. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? If something landed for you today, share it with an actor friend who needs to hear it. And reach out to Mandy at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com for questions, content, whatever it is.

    Follow Your Dream - Music And Much More!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Today's a pretty special day for me. It's my 75th birthday.  Yes you heard me correctly.  It feels like just the other day I was watching The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. And then I ran out afterwards and taught myself guitar and bass. Then it feels like it was only a few days ago that I was playing jazz fusion in Boston. And then recording my first album when I was in my 40s but still working a day job. And then turning 60 and deciding that I could not let my youthful music dream go to waste. So I reformed my band Project Grand Slam and started writing and recording my music - now 15 albums and many singles. And then, like just yesterday, the pandemic hit and I didn't know what to do with myself. So I started Follow Your Dream. And here we are 5+ years and over 775 episodes later. Follow Your Dream has been an extraordinary second act for me and a great gift. When I started the podcast in March 2021, I had no audience and no guests. I never imagined that it would evolve into what it has become today. I've had wonderful conversations with so many creative artists from all around the world. Over 40 countries. Musicians. Actors. Authors. Photographers. Directors. Poets. It has been an honor and a privilege to meet them, learn from them, and share their stories with you. And as I've written recently, perhaps the most remarkable transformation is that Follow Your Dream has evolved from a mere podcast into a true global arts platform. What began as a creative outlet during the pandemic has become something much larger. And I created it out of love. Not as a way to make money, but as a way to give back to the creative community that has inspired and sustained me throughout my life. As I've said before, Follow Your Dream is totally independent. No partners. No corporate overseers. No advertisers. No one telling me who to interview or what to say. Just me, following my instincts and my curiosity. One of the most gratifying aspects of this journey has been hearing from my guests themselves. A few years ago, I began asking my guests for brief testimonials about their experience on the show. To date, more than 200 have responded with the most generous and heartfelt comments. Their words mean more to me than they could possibly know. And then there is the audience. Listeners from around the world continue to find the show, support it, and return week after week. I've learned that creativity, curiosity, and human connection have a remarkable ability to transcend borders. So —happy birthday to me. I feel incredibly fortunate. Fortunate to still be creating. Fortunate to still be learning. Fortunate to still be meeting extraordinary artists. And fortunate to have all of you along for the journey. As I like to say, thank you for listening to this podcast. And keep on rockin! Robert

The Holy Spirit?”  The answer to the question is YES!!  Shown below are the link to the podcast that are critical for Christians to understand the very words of God and the concept that God is the Father and God is the Son and God is the Spirit. 1 COR 3:16 – FATHER & SON & SPIRIT DWELL IN US https://youtu.be/hiG8QC-bHuk?si=6q7ax_82kEhZQ0x3 https://youtu.be/eZyFEL7OUD0?si=SFHLjPTrUppGibdY The word for "book" is sefer (סֵפֶר). Possessive Endings (Pronominal Suffixes) In formal and biblical Hebrew, possession is indicated by adding suffixes directly to a shifted, construct form of the noun (sifr-). Owner Hebrew Transliteration Meaning My סִפְרִי sifri my book Your (m.s.) סִפְרְךָ sifrecha your book Your (f.s.) סִפְרֵךְ sifrech your book His סִפְרוֹ sifro his book Her סִפְרָהּ sifrah her book Our סִפְרֵנוּ sifrenu our book Your (m.pl.) סִפְרְכֶם sifrechem your book Your (f.pl.) סִפְרְכֶן sifrechen your book Their (m.) סִפְרָם sifram their book Their (f.) סִפְרָן sifran their book   Modern Spoken Form In Modern Hebrew, the shel construction is preferred for everyday conversation. You use the base word ha-sefer (הַסֵּפֶר - "the book") followed by the preposition shel and a pronoun. My book: ha-sefer sheli (הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלִּי) His book: ha-sefer shelo (הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלּוֹ) Her book: ha-sefer shelah (הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלָּהּ) Our book: ha-sefer shelanu (הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלָּנוּ) Their book: ha-sefer shelahem (הַסֵּפֶר שֶׁלָּהֶם)   Plural Forms Hebrew the plural noun sefarim  (ספרים, "books") In Hebrew, possessive endings (called "pronominal suffixes") are attached directly to nouns to show ownership. For the plural noun sefarim (ספרים, "books"), possession is indicated by replacing the masculine plural ending with specialized suffixes. Possessive Endings for "Sefarim" (ספרים) When adding possessive endings, the plural word for books becomes sifrei- (סִפְרֵי) plus the suffix.    Possessor  Suffix Hebrew Form Pronunciation Translation   My י סְפָרַי sfaráy My books   Your (m. sg.) ךָ סְפָרֶיךָ sfaréykha Your books   Your (f. sg.) ךְ סְפָרַיִךְ sfaráyikh Your books   His יו סְפָרָיו sfaráv His books   Her יהָ סְפָרֶיהָ sfaréha Her books   Our נו סְפָרֵינוּ sfaréynu Our books   Your (m. pl.) כֶם סְפָרֵיכֶם sfaréykhem Your books   Your (f. pl.) כֶן סְפָרֵיכֶן sfaréykhen Your books   Their (m.) ם סְפָרֵיהֶם sfaréyhem Their books   Their (f.) ן סְפָרֵיהֶן sfaréyhen Their books   Usage Notes Modern vs. Classical: While these direct suffixes are standard in Biblical Hebrew, formal writing, and religious liturgy, everyday Modern Hebrew almost exclusively uses the preposition shel (של). For example, "my books" is usually expressed casually as hasfarim sheli (הספרים שלי) rather than sfaray. Singular vs. Plural Base: Note that sefer (singular, "book") inflects differently. When modifying plural/dual nouns in Hebrew, you will almost always see a yud (י) placed between the noun and the possessive suffix (e.g., sfaray instead of sifri).  For more detailed breakdowns and audio pronunciations, you can visit the Virtual Ulpan or the Hebrew for Christians grammar guides. Wikipedia article related to Hebrew grammar – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Hebrew_grammar Hebrew4Christians grammar section -https://hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_Six/Pronomial_Suffixes_Singular/pronomial_suffixes_singular.html Hebrew word for "face" or "presence" is panim (פָּנִים) The Hebrew word for "face" or "presence" is panim (פָּנִים). It is a grammatically plural noun that takes special, plural-like possessive endings. The primary possessive endings for panim are detailed in this structured layout:  English Meaning Hebrew Transliteration Hebrew Spelling My face panay פָּנַי Our face(s)   paneinu פְּנֵינוּ Your (m. sg.) face(s)   panecha פָּנֶיךָ Your (f. sg.) face(s)   panayich פָּנַיִךְ Your (m. pl.) face(s)   pneichem פְּנֵיכֶם Your (f. pl.) face(s)   pneichen פְּנֵיכֶן His / Its face panav פָּנָיו Her / Its face paneha פָּנֶיהָ Their (m.) face(s)   pneihem פְּנֵיהֶם Their (f.) face(s)   pneihen פְּנֵיהֶן   For a complete look at Hebrew grammar paradigms, you can reference the Hebrew for Christians Suffixes Guide -  https://hebrew4christians.com/Grammar/Unit_Six/Pronomial_Suffixes_Plural/pronomial_suffixes_plural.html The following is taken from the Wikipedia articles on the etymology (historical development) of the Latin word PERSONA and the Greek word PROSOPON that eventually became used to translate the word “PERSON.” PERSONA The word persona derives from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask.] The usage of the word dates back to the beginnings of Latin civilization. The Latin word derived from the Etruscan word "phersu," with the same meaning, and that from the Greek πρόσωπον (prosōpon). It is the etymology of the word "person," or "parson" in French. Latin etymologists explain that persona comes from "per/sonare" as "the mask through which (per) resounds the voice (of the actor)." PROSOPON In Ancient Greek, term prosopon originally designated one's "face" or "mask". Actors in Greek theatre-productions wore specific physical masks on stage, in order to reveal their characters and emotional states to the audience. The term prosopon had an important role in the development of theological terminology related to the Trinity and to Jesus. It was the subject of many theological debates and disputes, particularly during early centuries of Christian history. The word prosopon is most commonly used for the self-manifestation of an individual hypostasis (God is understood as one divine essence or being (ousia), but three distinct substances or forms (hypostases): the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Commonly defined as persons in the church after the late 3rd century A.D.  Prosopon is the form in which hypostasis appears (prosopon meant “mask” and each form of the essence of God appears as a unique mask or appearance.  Later the word person was used for appearence or manifestation or face.  Every hypostasis has its own prosopon: face or countenance. It gives expression to the reality of the hypostasis with its powers and characteristics. Paul the Apostle uses the term when speaking of direct heart-felt apprehension of the face (prosopon) of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6): "For it is the God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." THE FACES OF THE LORD My wife is brilliant.  Again and again over the years I see how God has used her to enhance the lessons I taught in class, when I led teaching tours on the trails in Israel, or now in these podcasts.  She said the alternative Biblical understanding of the Trinity I presented makes so much sense rather than God in three separate persons.  The alternative does not take away from the doctrine of the Trinity but makes it more understanding.  She states that we are made in the image of God.  As God has faces, different ways of manifesting Himself to us, so do we.  As she explained that when I, her husband, was a son to my father my "face" then was not as my "face" today; that is my manifestation of myself to the world was different 60 years ago.  I was the same JOHN, the same human being, but my "face," or my way I was seen in the world, was radically different than today.  When I was 60 and leading tours to Israel my "face" was not the same as today.  I was the same person.  I was not a separate person from myself.  I was me.  But, then at age 60, I manifested myself differently.  My wife said I had many "faces" but I was still me.  I had the face of the son of my father, I had the face of a student at St. John's Univeristy, I had anohter face as a young dad when we started adopting our kids, and I have a face today of a grandfather.  All these are "faces" or masks, if you like.  It is still me.  Who I am is constant but I have a different face at the various stages of my life. She said it seems then as we are made in His image we, like our Father, have several "faces" or ways of presenting ourselves that differ over time.  As time goes on and circumstances change, I am manifested in different ways to those who I encounter.  I am still the same person.  My essence, or my fundamental core—the unchanging spark of my consciousness, my values, and my authentic presence that persists beneath my physical form and memories and fleeting emotions - does not change and I am still me.  This is the same for God.  His essence, that which makes God God, does not change but only the way He chooses to manifest Himself to the world, to us, in one of His faces.

    One of the hardest parts of an acting career is actually not the rejection. I know. That surprises people. But as a young actor, the hardest part for me was the emotional roller coaster. One day I'd feel so hopeful. I'd be in class, auditioning, getting callbacks, feeling momentum. And then suddenly, crickets. No auditions, no callbacks, nothing. Nobody's buying what Peter Pamela Rose is selling. And you start asking yourself two very painful questions. Why am I doing this? And am I wasting my time? It Usually Isn't About Talent Burnout doesn't usually come from lack of talent. It comes from two things. Lack of money management, because this business is just costing you too much financially. And lack of time management, because you're not using your time in the wisest way. But here's the real ingredient. It comes from carrying too much emotional pressure for too long. Have you been carrying too much emotional pressure around this industry for too long? Seriously. Ask yourself that. Compare and Despair One of the fastest ways to end up there is comparison. Social media makes it so tough sometimes. You're seeing people's bookings, their premieres, their guest stars, their new representation. And it creates this illusion that everyone else is moving so much faster than you. But that's not the full picture. That person had auditions that didn't book. They had long quiet stretches. They just didn't post about those. Keep the focus on your career. That is the only one you can do something about. Comparison is the fastest way to forget your own magic. And when we drain that energy comparing timelines, we lose the very thing we need to stay in those high vibrations where good things happen. The Emotional Weight of Rejection A lot of the time rejection gets pulled into old feelings of shame. And shame, at its core, is the belief that there is something fundamentally wrong with you. But really all it was is that you just weren't the one they needed for that role. You weren't that piece of the puzzle. Actors experience something very unusual compared to most professions. They are evaluated personally, or at least it feels that way, over and over again. Even when a casting director loves your audition you might not book it. They might give the role to someone taller, younger, older, more well-known, better matched with another actor. That is not a rejection of you as a person. The Invisible Deadlines We Create As a young actor I thought I had to make it before I was 30. That was the biggest bunch of bullshit I ever fed myself. We create invisible deadlines. I should be further along by now. I should have an agent already. I should be booking more. And those expectations create enormous pressure. Life and acting careers do not unfold in neat little timelines. Gabrielle Bernstein says something I just love. When you surrender the outcome, you create space for miracles. Don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Actors Who Last I have been a professional actor making a living since 1988. And the thing I have always tried to do is stay connected to why I love acting and this business. I loved the training. I loved creating. I loved collaborating. And even now, in my middle age, I'm enjoying it more than I ever have. Remain curious. Remain teachable. Your job as an actor is not to control the outcome. Your job is to keep showing up with curiosity and courage. There are going to be quiet seasons and there are going to be active seasons. The actors who eventually break through are the ones who stay in the game long enough. Acting career life is about resilience, perspective, and the willingness to keep showing up. Don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Want to Keep the Conversation Going?

    Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and this is the complete interview with casting director Tiffany Little Canfield of Telsey Company — known for her work on Wicked, Mean Girls, and more. All three parts together.Tiffany grew up in Sacramento, got serious about acting early, moved into directing, and eventually found her way to casting — where her background on both sides of the table changed how she reads actors and approaches every project. This conversation covers all of it.We start with her path into the industry, the casting process, what actors consistently misunderstand about auditions, the impact of self-tapes, and why training never stops mattering. From there we get into the specific casting stories — A Most Violent Year, Miss Sloane, Margin Call, and Wicked. Tiffany gets into how Ariana Grande was cast as Glinda, the casting of The Wizard, Madame Morrible, and Bowen Yang, and what the process looked like on a production of that scale.We also get into casting controversies, diversity in casting, and what Tiffany actually thinks about how those conversations play out in the industry. She talks about the Academy finally establishing a casting branch and what that recognition means for the profession. We close with upcoming projects, Inside the Actors Studio questions, what she's reading and watching, and her thoughts on The Lost Daughter.In this episode we discuss:Tiffany's path from acting to directing to castingThe casting process and what actors get wrongSelf-tapes and the reality of modern auditionsCasting Wicked — Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum & Bowen YangCasting A Most Violent Year, Miss Sloane & Margin CallCasting controversies and diversity in the industryThe Academy finally recognizing casting directorsUpcoming projects including Only Murders in the Building and Paradise00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:14 - Guest Introduction & Early Life 00:00:38 - Influence of Early Life on Career 00:02:23 - Transition from Acting to Directing 00:03:14 - Professional Training and Realization 00:04:26 - Decision to Shift from Acting 00:06:09 - Transition to Casting 00:06:21 - Casting Experience and Realization 00:09:04 - Getting into the Industry 00:09:29 - Similarities between Casting Directors and Actors 00:13:26 - Role of Directing Degree in Casting 00:13:26 - Understanding Actors 00:15:13 - Misconceptions about Acting 00:15:40 - The Art and Craft of Acting 00:17:26 - The Importance of Continuous Training 00:22:02 - The Shift to Self-Tapes 00:24:32 - Challenges in the Industry 00:26:52 - The Power of Subtle Acting 00:28:36 - Working with the Telsey Office 00:29:52 - Casting 'A Most Violent Year' 00:30:48 - Casting 'A Most Violent Year' Continued 00:36:26 - Casting 'Miss Sloan' 00:39:09 - Casting 'Margin Call' 00:41:30 - Casting 'Wicked' 00:46:19 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of Glinda 00:49:54 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of the Wizard and Madame Morrible 00:55:26 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of Boq 00:57:04 - Recognition of Casting Directors at the Academy Awards 01:01:30 - Future Plans 01:01:42 - Upcoming Projects 01:02:15 - Daily Routines 01:03:09 - Physical Fitness and Meditation 01:03:48 - Current Readings 01:05:11 - Music Preferences 01:05:39 - Current TV Shows 01:06:42 - Recent Movies 01:08:34 - Contact Information 01:08:57 - Conclusion#DMF #TiffanyLittleCanfield #CastingDirector #Wicked #ArianaGrande #TelseyCompany #Oscars #Academy #Acting #Casting #Filmmaking #Podcast

    RECALL: Act Three By the time RECALL reaches Act Three, Miami Military Academy is no longer pretending it can survive. The school is still marching, still saluting, still shining brass and barking orders into the Florida heat, but the center is gone. Colonel Barnes is dying. Commander Patterson knows it. Sally knows it. And the boys, even when they are laughing too hard to say it out loud, can feel the whole place slipping into history. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Carroll O’Connor with eyes on a Pacino lead,, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the terrible bargain countries make when they ask the young to carry the sins of the old. Act Three begins with the last quiet hours before everything breaks. Lishinsky and Sally steal a small piece of freedom on the water, drifting toward Captain Kidd’s Island, talking about California, escape, fathers, graves, and the strange fantasy that two damaged kids might simply sail away from all of it. But nobody really gets away from Miami Military Academy. Not yet. Inside Barnes’ house, Patterson sits beside a dying friend and is handed the thing no soldier wants: responsibility without rescue. Barnes tells him the Army is calling in its chips. The school, the land, the boys, the munitions, the whole dream is coming apart. Patterson rages because he knows what the place is, and what it has been. A broken institution, yes. A madhouse, absolutely. But also the only home some of these boys have ever had. Then the machinery starts moving. The Army arrives. The Cuban officials arrive. The inspection becomes theater. A live round falls where it should not. The old bunkers by the bay are suddenly more important than the boys standing in formation. The parade takes them through Miami and into the Dade County Fair, where the whole strange, glorious organism of “A” Company explodes into one last carnival of cigars, sheep, majorettes, busted noses, bad decisions, and Patterson turning, for one mad instant, into the hero the boys still need him to be. But the comedy cannot hold the line forever. Colonel Barnes is gone. The flag drops to half-mast. The Razor Fiend is finally revealed. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, becomes a cadet, a savior, and maybe the strangest proof that the academy was never only a school. It was a place that took in the lost and gave them a uniform because it had no better language for love. Slouch and Bebop reach the end of pretending. Bebop is called home by a country that no longer exists the way he remembers it. Slouch follows because friendship, for him, is the only oath that ever meant anything. The Cuban exiles come in the night. Patterson tries to stop them. History steps over him. Sally leaves for California. Lishinsky stays behind with the ache of first love and the knowledge that some people are not meant to be held. Patterson sits with his ghosts. The boys graduate into a world already waiting to use them. And somewhere beyond the academy walls, the Bay of Pigs turns courage, loyalty, and bad American promises into blood in the surf. RECALL is about boyhood at the edge of the American century, when duty still sounded clean from a podium and war still knew how to dress itself up as honor. It is about boys who wanted fathers, fathers who failed them, soldiers who could not save themselves, and a country that keeps asking the young to pay for the old men’s maps.

    Send us Fan MailErik Patterson dropped into Playwright's Spotlight before the opening of his upcoming play - Fucking Strangers. In this discussion, Erik shares his start into playwriting, what makes a bad play, the definition of "spectacle", achieving reversal, and pushing forward as a playwright. We also unpack developing ideas, using prompts, expectations from feedback, the disdain for "The Play That Goes Bad" series, what can be learned from student playwrights, the remedy for never-ending dialogue, and when it's time for a monologue. We wrap our talk up with trying new things, how to bring humor into serious situations, his steps after graduating, the benefits of volunteering and networking, avoiding coming off desperate, waiting for permission, and finessing one's work during rehearsals. Erik offers a lot of insightful information that playwrights from every level can take something from.

    RECALL Act 2

    RECALL: Act Two In February 1961, the boys of Miami Military Academy are still marching, joking, fighting, shaving, bleeding, stealing, and pretending the world outside the gates is someone else’s problem. But the world is already inside the school. It is in the news from Cuba. It is in the old munitions bunkers by the bay. It is in the secrets the adults keep, the wounds they drink through, and the wars they keep handing down to children. Written by Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison, and once optioned and held by the great Al Pacino, RECALL is a funny, savage, deeply human coming-of-age drama about abandoned boys, broken fathers, old soldiers, Cuban exiles, secret weapons, and the machinery that turns fear into patriotism. Act Two begins as Stephen Lishinsky tries to survive the strange education of “A” Company. His head has been butchered. His pride has been beaten. His idea of honor has already taken a few direct hits. When he tries to run, Commander Patterson finds him at the bus stop and gives him the kind of broken advice only a broken soldier can give: if you are in a storm, sometimes the only move is to sit tight and let the morning come. But morning at Miami Military Academy is never clean. Coombs is missing. The Razor Fiend is back. Bear is bleeding into the sink. Lindquist, the feral boy from the mango trees, is pulled into uniform and passed off as a cadet because, at this school, identity is just another piece of equipment someone misplaced. Sally Barnes drifts through the place like a lit match, furious at her father, suspicious of Patterson, and impossible for Lishinsky to ignore. Patterson tries to protect her, but the past between him, Colonel Barnes, and Sally’s mother is its own battlefield. Meanwhile, Slouch and Bebop stop pretending their war is imaginary. The key to Bunker 3 becomes guns, ammunition, and contraband dragged through the machinery of a school that is already falling apart. Patterson lectures boys on amphibious landings while the real invasion waits in the shadows. Bebop is pulled closer to the Cuban exile cause. Slouch, half romantic and half criminal, follows him into the Everglades, into blindfolds, pistols, secret rooms, and men who do not look like teachers. There is comedy everywhere because boys make comedy out of terror. There is coconut rum, marching songs, bad haircuts, chocolate cokes, contraband, dirty jokes, and the Dade County Fair waiting like a reward for good behavior nobody intends to have. But underneath the noise, the rifles are getting heavier. The lies are getting harder to carry. And the adults are running out of time. RECALL is about boyhood at the exact moment history stops being a lesson and starts becoming a weapon. It is about fathers who failed, sons who improvise, countries that ask for sacrifice before they explain the cost, and boys who are still laughing because they do not yet understand what the world is loading.
