I sit around. on set. waiting. and waiting. and waiting. when do I get to act? why did I choose this project? where is the passion in this project? where is the art in this project? where is the respect in this project?
I watch. I observe. I believe schools are teaching our kids the wrong things. they are teaching kids to get jobs. lowest common denominator jobs. cogs in the system. failures teaching the new wave of failures. acting should be fun. acting should be invigorating. “move your left hand to the right. move your right hand to the left.” robots talking to other robots. humanity removed. emotions removed. excitement removed. “WE ARE ALL THE SAME. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. WE ARE ALL THE SAME. YABBA DABBA DO!!!”
use your voice. stand up for yourself. invigorate the system. bad direction is bad direction is bad environment is bad movie. always the same. there are only a few talented and unique directors out there but instead of watching them the puppets are watching bad canadian television because “we must support our industry.” BULLSHIT. IF THE PRODUCT SUCKS…THE PRODUCT SUCKS. DEMAND MORE. NOT LESS.
our industry filled with “made up” titles. i am surprised the puppets aren’t wearing nametags like hotel workers. or bankers. same boring stiffs.
the system will try to stifle you. try to keep you down. refuse to be stifled. refuse to be kept down. break through the iron curtain. break through the corporation. break through the quicksand. perservere. FIGHT. ARGUE. DEMAND. SPEAK UP. do not go to actra union rallies. these puppets want jobs. need jobs. not artists. the “office workers” are happy when you are scared of them. FEAR IS USED BY CORPORATIONS. DICTATORS. UNIONS. CASTING DIRECTORS. TEACHERS. AGENTS. STAND UP AND BEAT THEM. on your deathbed DO NOT REGRET. CREATE AND YOU WIN. BE PROUD. BE UNIQUE. FIRE. PASSION. ANGER. BE ANGRY. the only people who don’t want you to be angry are the frightened ones. REMEMBER…THEY HAVE “MADE UP” JOBS.
