Life stuff that fuels the creative stuff.
Life stuff that fuels the creative stuff.
I’ve trained at UCB, surround myself with funny people, and catch a lot of stand up and solo shows—my favorite are the kind that make you laugh and cry, then laugh again. Like, Michael Cruz Kayne’s “Sorry For Your Loss” or Adam Cayton Holland’s “Happy Place”.
Even with a full plate I still try to sneak in filming stand up specials on the weekends. The excitement of live production and the joy of collaborating with friends is unmatched—throw in a comedy show and you’ve got a dream gig.
I love comedy.
I’m an actor.
I run a writer’s group.
We table read everything from scripts to novels, share notes and feedback, and eat lots of snacks. I’m constantly inspired by this community and there’s no question they’ve made my writing exponentially better.
I watch too much television.
Which is both a hobby and research. I tend to favor series over films because I love developing long-term attachments to characters and investing in storylines. I love everything from Succession to Shrinking to Schitt’s Creek. I am also a massive Severance fan. I prefer solo viewing so I can replay amazing line reads seventeen times and/or take photos of the TV screen—behaviors most viewing partners do not enjoy.
