Keep Working

I am a firm believer in the popular saying "The Harder I Work the Luckier I Get" which was a comment once uttered by the successful pro golfer Gary Player. From my experience this philosophy is particularly true when it comes to acting or film making.



I have always found in the past that when I push myself to get out there and work on projects (many of them unpaid) then my luck seems to change for the better, not long after. I find more work, meet more people in the industry or learn more about the craft of acting and shoting films. Often times the work can be unpaid or very minimal fees, however the rewards far outweigh the monetary gain. It basically comes down to the premise that when you are willing to put yourself out there, the universe returns your efforts tenfold.

These are some photos of a recent amateur short film job I did with an excellent actor friend of mine. Although I didn't get paid, it was an extremely fun shoot and we had some great laughs. Plus I was introduced to a potential up and comer director as well as some clever crew members. The interesting thing was that in the following week I was contacted for two paying jobs.....go figure.

Action = Success!



PS - The photos are me in uniform as "The Chief". Myself and my good friend Cam Cooley working out with the director (blue jacket to left of screen) what the heck we're going to do. Plus, check out the home made camera boom (almost entirely made from wood). I just love amateur film makers!
