Eric Bartsch: Actor, director and producer in Detroit, Michigan.

I'm still growing deeper into this, something I love and am very good at. I would like to know the best sites for work and other keys to success beyond the above.

I feel like you contradicted yourself here in pt. 2. You sound stricter about the rules than before. Maybe it's just me. I think a writer does himself a favor by being freer in and with the process. Not everyone is the same type of writer, but most processes taught are not tailored to the typical writer.

Hello Eric, thank you for your network request! I wish you all the best, Isabelle

Mind blown! Jeff, you are brilliant, and you clearly shine a light, with detail, upon the interior frustration all writers suffer with. We all feel like our material is no good if it doesn't fit into this box, whether that's three-act structure, normative script format, or something else.

There is a simple truth in this article we all need to hear. Thank you, Dawn. Your name is ultra-cool too, by the way.

Eye-opening read. I had a thought when you mentioned Godzilla and Martian. Would you say Nolan films like Interstellar and Dark Knight fall into the gray area?

Intriguing article about the decline of Warren Beatty and the bomb that was Rules Don't Apply. Personally, I feel the beginning of the end for him was Dick Tracy. Any 90's kid - around 30 now - will identify him with that movie. In the eyes of many, it was his (asterisk, latter day) defining role, tough to live down.

The trailer for Harley Wallen's (Batman v. Superman) Taken Over, which I am producing, dropped. Coming in 2017. Take a look, like it, share it, give us feedback! Oh, yeah, feel free to enjoy it too. I know you will. https://youtu.be/vl5AIl4MqIY

Writing a screenplay is hard enough. There is so much rigmarole, it drives me crazy. Not just that but as a writer I fall prey to artistic roadblocks and self-scrutiny where, 11 pages in, I loathe what I wrote. Constraints of the script are no consolation; they're still an impossible climb. Nothing I learn about screenwriting puts me at ease.

Hello all, So once and a while I like to stand back and take stock of where I am and generally how things are going. Since I made the decision to really make the push to act in April Ive managed to get cast in two short films and four music videos, Im collaborating with a producer in the states on a web series, Ive since been cast in two more shorts set up for July and August. I practice everyday, take any classes I can find and keep trying to network. But the question I keep asking myself is 'am I doing enough?' is this a question that all actors ask themselves or am I just being stupid?

I enjoyed your article. When did you know you were ready to make a web series?

Hello! I've done one of these before, but thought I'd go for an update. I had two auditions in the last week; I'm at work on a screenplay (steadily); conceptualizing a documentary (looking to get some meetings with producers); and I've wound up at a new acting school recently where I've taken a few classes. I finally feel more comfortable in my role (no pun intended) as an actor, especially one growing and learning. Nothing very earth-shattering, but I have high hopes. Things are moving along.

A fine and encouraging read. It's all about timing and there really is a great deal of fortuity involved.
