“This story you’re telling me? This story is birth control,” I told my sister. Today I heard stories of people launching babies into the world through their young, ignorant loins. The choice was made to procreate for a reason they saw fit–completely not the right reason, but they had a baby. Before pregnancy, the young [...]
Impress These Apes closed yesterday, and even though a tragically-timed, fuck-why-now brain fart caused me to forget a chunk of those fine-tuned lyrics halfway through the performance, I managed to take second place. Stupid brain. I got over it quickly with wine and dine(r) food. Late night loud speaks with new friends. Waitress who hates [...]
A Look/See, an audition for a photographer, which should me more aptly named Look/Judge, shouldn’t be as fun as the one I went on last Friday. They’re over in a blink of the eye. Enough for the photographer to go, “Um…No,” but they take the picture anyway to deliver the client who goes, “Where are [...]
Every now and then I make myself laugh. Impress These Apes 6 – Week 7 – Thea from Blewt! Productions on Vimeo.
I discovered previous drafts that were never published. No context, no titles. There are quite a few, too. Discovering past forgotten ideas always feel like they weren’t written by me. I initially couldn’t stomach the idea of selling these things to any honest American. But yet, it seems like the lesser of two evils. Let [...]
Because I have one more week of Impress These Apes and my creativity as been stretched beyond recognition, I’ve found myself scraping for inspiration. So in the hopes of getting me back on track, to make me realize an idea can be anything and I shouldn’t think so hard, here’s a video of a hippo [...]
There’s just something about walking on a quiet city street on a sunny day on your way to get coffee. It’s like one of those journeys that inspire a “This I Believe” essay. You even start composing it in your head like it’s meaningful and addressing the masses…A universal truth, a deep thought that everyone [...]
I have an audition tomorrow for “Female Auto Factory Worker”. Casting breakdown says I’m supposed to be “Real, gritty, and authentic.” So, by Hollywood logic: If you are “real” you are not a model, ipso facto, models are space pod robots. If you are “gritty” you don’t wear mascara, I guess. Or have a chimney [...]
And here’s a short film inspired by a Threadless t-shirt I made with my talented friends Jason and Heather Adams. My ideas would have fallen flat if it wasn’t for their help. I’m super happy and proud and giddy about how this turned out. Impress These Apes – Week 5 – Thea from Blewt! Productions [...]
I don’t know what I’m going to do without this 5 Lesbians show in my life. So if you want to see me self-destruct and eat quiche like there’s no tomorrow and then cry like a baby–actually, that’s not too different from any other day of the week…”5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche” is closing this [...]
