Introduce Yourself : Standing on the Brink by Tennyson Stead

Happy “Introduce Yourself”’Weekend, everybody! My name is Tennyson E. Stead, and I’m a writer, director and producer... ...and right now, I’m on a tight deadline writing original content for a big movie with a big management and production house. Once that work is done, my manager and I may well have the money lined up for me to go right into pre-production on the feature film I’ve been working to finance these last several years. More than one screenplay is on the brink of selling. Praise to the Movie Gods. More than one thing is backwards about how all this came to be. Right now, my fiance and I are struggling to keep a foothold in LA just with the expense of living in a car! My family is still questioning the value of my being here, despite the exciting details of the work I’m doing... but my show community is strong, my craft is strong, and if all goes well it could be a matter of weeks before my financial hardships are reversed. Simultaneously, I can feel the suddenness of all this excitement and the thirty years of work I invested in the people and abilities supporting me. This really is the cusp, and I feel overwhelming gratitude towards those who have believed in me. Here comes the work I came to Hollywood to do! I can’t wait to show everybody.
