Almost every one of my submissions has represented me trying something new - writing and creating a story for voiceover over a film montage (‘The Little God”), discovering my love of playing multiple characters (starting with “A Fortunate Intervention” and continuing to the Interview Series and further), using a filter and music as a key storytelling vehicle and ditching the script (“Treat Yourself”), writing and performing a parody song (“Beauty and Her Plea”).
The most vulnerable was a drama monologue for my piece “A Tangled Mind.” I played with different editing cuts to indicate the characters disconnected mental state, while working with a script that was telling a darker story, while trusting and hoping that my performance on the acting side would be compelling enough to hold audiences for a slower pace. I’m often more comfortable with the quick-cuts of comedy, even though a great deal of my performance experience is drama, yet delving into dramatic work of my own felt like more of a risk.
