Hello from down the thruway! Thanks for the request!

Fred Rutherford

You're very welcome and thanks for connecting. Hope you didn't get hit with all the snow we got here. I got lucky as the part of town I live in barely got much, but some of the city wow, just wow.

Lisa Clemens

Rochester dodged the bullet. Barely an inch here.

Fred Rutherford

That's great news. I kinda feel the same here

Who has experience with Brad Heller's approach?

Fred Rutherford

I liked the clips he put up on youtube, and he learned from Don Richardson. I highly recommend Don's book, Acting Without Agony. It's out of print, but I found a copy on Amazon, and Brad sells it at h...

Fred, thanks for the invite! It's great to meet playwrights and other screenwriters from Buffalo. Wishing you all the best with your projects. Tom.

Fred Rutherford

I agree Tom, it was nice to see others locally who write dramatically. I wish you the best as well. Thanks.

What else do you write?

I believe screenwriters shouldn't just write screenplays, but other forms as well. I am writing a couple novels, have written a couple short screenplays, a few poems and as of today, finally, a short story. It's not that I'm not keen on short stories, but I've never been able to come up with anythin...

Oh, I so it exceeds CreateSpace's 480 page limit. The haven't specifically suppressed your book. Got it. I'm cleaning up my first original screenplay. MUCH easier to do than adapting.

Tony McFadden

It must have come on around 700 pages, right? Amazon's POD machine maxes out at 480 pages (I think it's a financial limit, but it might be physical). I max out (reading) at about 400 pages.

Graham Giddy

Before they suppressed the novel I managed to buy twenty copies from Creataspace. 527 pages.. Shroud over Paradise 493 pages the Golden Malaita Eagle 420 pages hard copy. The latter could be a mini blockbuster.

What are your favorite acting books and why do you like them? I'm looking for some new perspectives on the craft, and it would be great to hear some recommendations. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

awakening the actor within by myself coz I wrote it and I think it's helpful to actors

Hollywood 101 is not directly an acting book, but a great film book that everyone can benefit from, cast or crew. So worth the read. For actors directly, Ice Babies from Oz...best stand alone monologu...
