A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man: Albright Style

It is just about 1 am. I'm exhausted, but I'm too excited to sleep. Tomorrow...or rather...today, we start filming scene 1 of my film : The Daemon Chronicles (see Chapter 11 post for plot of the film). Did I mention we will start filming at 6 am? Anyway, so I just got a text message from one of my actors a short while ago, informing me that the weather channel says we should expect a wind chill of about 14 degrees... That is baaaaaaaaaad. At least the forecast said it wouldn't rain on top of tha… Continue

It's been a while since I blogged, and why exactly is that. Well, for the past couple of weeks I've been working on Goal # 2...(refer to my Chapter 9 and 10 post). I decided to shoot a film. I asked my good friend Greg Hritz (Albright class of '07) to write the screenplay for me a while ago, and now it is time to start putting it together.

SO IT BEGINS!!!!! To recap what I talked about in my last post, I'm attempting to go down a self-generated list of things that I should do before I graduate from Albright...I believe the D-Day is now 95 days away.

The thing about setting goals for yourself, and the key to really being successful at the… Continue

So, I didn't realize before, but today someone walked up to me and said: "99 days to go". And of course I go: " 99 days to go till what?" She says: "Graduation!!!" To which my heart drops from my chest into my stomach. It's almost as if some told you the exact day, hour and minute you would day!!! Ok, maybe not so dramatic as that. But you gotta understand, suddenly breathing seemed hard, and the past three years (quite literally) passed before my eyes. It felt like a mid-life crises ...well...… Continue

The Albright College Domino Players are putting on a production of A Clockwork Orange!!! Actually, I'm really not that surprised because I'm Assistant Directing it!!! But you should be surprised! If you're familiar with the movie of the same name by Stanley Kubrick, great! but I have to tell you, it will be nothing like the movie. In fact, the Director, Jeff Lentz, specifically said that he didn't want to see the movie prior to staging the play. He eventually did watch maybe 10 minutes of it, bu… Continue
