[THOUGHT] 2011 Has Been A Better Year #grateful

Tommy Nguyen Took The Picture Above. I am
grateful to have met so many talented Atlanta
artist this year --- in front of the camera and behind.
PS, I had a terrible stye on my eye during the shoot :(

December has been a really busy month for me (so far). In between auditions, actual work, and reaching out to potential clients, I've been working on my next short, "Unconventional Bliss", and a webseries that I have created with my producing partner, Leanna Adams. Today marks the middle of the month, and I must say that I have cried many tears of joy this month in regards to writing and acting. I love filmmaking. To be utterly honest, I am at a pretty low level with my career (100k+ on imdb-- lol), but I am happy. 

I feel like I am living out my own version of the "Alchemist". Yesterday, I was on the phone with a new friend and he made a poignant statement to me when I mentioned how challenging it can be to go after my dreams. He said --- you choose this dream. You choose your current circumstances. In other words, I should make sure that I handle what I have chosen. Although those were simple words --- I needed to hear that. I have made a choice, and I love my choice. 

This holiday season, I'm deeply thankful to God that I am in a better place in life and my career than I was in 2010. I did not expect to move to Atlanta. But, I am glad that I did. I sit now in complete gratitude.

[UPDATE] Voice Over Work At The Art Institute Of Atlanta

I can Now Add Voice Over Work To My Resume

Last month, I went to this massive audition for AIA film students. I love working with student filmmakers because all in all they don't have many boundaries with their work like many adult filmmakers that I have worked with. Well, yesterday I did two voice over projects for two students. I was also booked for a United Way commercial as well. If you live nearby any of the AIA's --- I would advise you to get on their list to work with their students!
