My “about once a week” update has turned into about “once a month”.

It looks like I haven’t updated since before the last “Kittens” show. Now, to bring you up to date… (I had to read my last post to see where I’d left off.)

I failed to mention last time that my friend Niki Nelson did win the IFA “Actress of The Month” for July.

About the two lovely ladies I did mention in my last post, SUERO & Jesslyn, well both of them are winners too. First off Miss Jesslyn won in the female “Pop” category in the “Talent Quest” finals and now moves on to the nationals. Good for her! I got an email from Sue this morning telling me that she just had won the August IFA Actress of The Month. Yay Susan! I seem to be surrounded be winners!

I know I’ve mentioned that I had a very small part in a short film called “Backstroke” about a year ago that stared Miss Niki Nelson, written and directed by Miss Amy Bronson. Well Miss Amy has been busy submitting this film to festivals all around the world. Her film was most recently picked up by a festival in Atlanta called the “Out On Film” October 11^th – 14^th. So she will have a busy next few months going to festivals. The “Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival” in Austin, Texas show is on 9/29 and the “FirstGlance Film Festival” in Philadelphia, PA showing is on 10/03 and then the “Out On Film” festival in Atlanta, Ga. a week or so later.

“Backstroke” has now been in 6 festivals, and it won the audience favorite in SLC at the Utah Art’s Festival. Good for you Amy we are proud of you and keep up your good work!

Miss Amy B’s music is also featured on my myspace page. She is the drummer for “Our Dark Horse”. Amy was kind enough to invite Sue & I to a house party a few weeks ago for a very private “Our Dark Horse” concert for friends. Let’s just say it was both personal and amazing plus it was followed by cocktails!

Well it’s been a busy few weeks. I emceed the finals for “Talent Quest” and that same week on Friday I emceed the “Slippery Kittens” anniversary show. What a great time at both events! The “Kittens” next two shows are Saturday September the 15^th, then Saturday October 20^th.

I was cast as the radio talk show host in “A Better Life” by Andrew James. I have about eight full pages of dialogue to record. This is what I love to do! They also have a few scenes to re-shoot so the film can be completed.

Mr. Josh Samson has cast me in a film called “Desert Wind” where I play a slimy “post apocalyptic” slave trader/pimp type guy. Fun! We will be filming my part this next weekend.

I still need to record the two projects in Logan, both were canceled for the time being, but I’m told that it will be soon.

I had an audition this last week for a Disney movie, followed by another audition the next day for someone else. These are the first auditions I’ve had in a while, but I did get the second one right on the spot. I’ll be playing the “Lead Detective” in a pretty intense independent feature length film about an “Al Qaeda” type sleeper cell here in the US that’s being called into action. The writer and lead actor had me read for him and in the end he told me that I was scary and then said welcome aboard. Cool! He is an award winning film maker. This is set to film in November, so I’ll write more on this one later.

Still I’m waiting for word on the Disney film, but not loosing any sleep over it, so we’ll see.

I just started another acting class on the “Meisner Technique”. I been to one class and walked away with some really good stuff. I even went to “Barnes & Nobel” and bought a few books on Mr. Meisner. One called Sanford Meisner On Acting” and “The Sanford Meisner Approach”, a workbook. For me this is pretty exciting. I know that I have a lot to learn and I am eager to learn. Here is a quote from the first book and it really sums up acting for me: “I was beginning to realize that acting which really dug at me was what I was looking for”

Don’t forget the “Slippery Kittens” on September 15^th @ Bar Deluxe 666 S State St. SLC.

BTW we are hosting out annual Halloween party on the 27^th of October. More Later!

See Ya,

Bill
