I'm introducing myself again

My name is Connor Williams I am 17 and a senior in high school. I produced, cast, directed and acted in my first full length feature film this summer. It's a Breakfast Club type movie. I live in Boise, Idaho. I'm the only actor I know in the area. I travel 5.5 hours each way for auditions to Salt Lake City. I also, when CD's let me audition via tape and skype. I actually leave for Chicago this Friday for five days and shoot some pick up scenes in a movie I was one of the leads in. I'm shooting scenes with Stephen Baldwin and Kevin Sorbo. I have two pages of intense one on one scenes with Mr. Sorbo on Sunday. Looking forward to that. I have a couple of scenes in Jared Hess's (Napolean Dynamite, Nacho Libre) new comedy opposite Sam Rockwell. I'm really low on the totem pole and I heard it comes to theatres in February but I'm not sure. So being from the middle of no where after 8 years things are finally picking up. In my feature we discuss today's teen problems opposed to 1985. We have social bullying, racial profiling, student/teacher relations, girl saying no and the guy not listening, strong religious beliefs and some other fun stuff. I was able to get Terry Kiser (weekend at Bernies) in my film. I wanted to play the rich kid in this but I decided I would play the weakest link of actors for roles. I end up playing a skin head after having 7 years of long hair. Took me a long time to get used to it. I learned a lot and made many mistakes through this ordeal. But now I'm so prepared for my next feature next summer-if I can raise/save enough money. My biggest weakness was scheduling. I was of an hour off on call times two days with crew and cast. I'm getting the "A" student next year from my high school to do nothing but scheduling. I am open to any and every project. I WILL WORK FREE ON THE RIGHT PROJECT. Pretty much did that for my six years anyways. Although rarely got my footage. What is up with that by the way? Different discussion... Here is my imdb page that has my reel which will change in the next couple of months when I can add Kiser,Sorbo, Baldwin and Rockwell. https://pro-labs.imdb.com/name/nm5890659/ Here is a quick scene that we have already changed when I walk into the school. http://youtu.be/KkGbBJx24sU And if you are still reading.

Wow. What a fantastic and inspiring post, Connor. You had me rooting for you halfway through. Keep blazing that trail.

Thanks Brandi- Actually I have teamed up with a sound design person from here. I had no idea what a sound designer was but I do now. :) Charles..Just plugging away. Thank you. Thanks RB! I appreciate it. It's a weird feeling. Sometimes I think I have no idea what I'm doing. Sometimes I think I have this mastered. What I do know is my senior year is really boring after doing all this.

"Sometimes I think I have no idea what I'm doing. Sometimes I think I have this mastered." For a true creative, I don't know if that ever goes away. Embrace it...be challenged by it.
