Setting Up Support Groups for Media

Actors! What's your showreel made up of these days?

TV work? Short films? Self-tapes? From scratch scenes? TikTok content?

Would love to get a sense of where you're at demo reel wise in last year or two.

I keep having fantasies of ditching my Duo Lingo streak.

Leaving it behind and moving on with my life.

I need to be more brave, and let it go.

Has anyone been in this position -- built up a big Duo Lingo streak then allowed themselves to let it end?

I know I can do this.

My favourite Diane Keaton film is 'Manhattan Murder Mystery.'

It feels like the 'Annie Hall' characters but now they're middle aged and they think their neighbour is a murderer.

Hilarious, and Woody Allen has the wisdom to write Keaton's character as the protagonist.

Is any podcast genuinely lighting you up right now?

Feel kind of over everything I listen to.

'The Studio' on Apple TV is some of the best comedy I've seen in years.

Episodes 2 and 6 are pure perfection. So rare to see comedy so well crafted. Incredible writing!

Always liked Seth Rogen but this show is taking my appreciation to a whole new level.

Having a Duo Lingo streak with multiple streak freezes is like Trigger having the same broom handle but with 17 new heads and 14 new handles.

10 tips that will reinvigorate your acting showreel.

A thread.

1. If you have one great scene and three terrible scenes, then your reel needs to have only one scene.

Would you say there are less short film castings than 5-10 years ago, or more?

Especially in the no-to-low-budget range.

Just wondering if we have that same indie-film ecosystem we used to have.
