I’m ready, ready for the laughing gas…
To loosely quote Bono, “I’m ready for the lauging gas– I’m ready– ready- ready for what’s next.” If I say this with a faux British accent it’s very funny, at least to me.
In the midst of completing a year-long process on a documentary, and a sit-com, and some corporates and video podcasts. I’m gettng through the credit-crisis which became a downturn and is now a recession with a bevvy of micro-budgeted films.

I’ve learned scripting is vital to improvisation, and improvisation is vital to scripting- it’s a mythic comic cycle known only to the few, but I’ve entered into that particular circle of life.
Also: when working with sock puppets, actors’ hands can get sweaty so you have to provide athlete’s foot powder to their palms on an hourly basis.
It’s been fun, it’s been real, and now it’s time for more.
