Forgive the visual pun but I simply have to say it. There’s no way to act in a film without getting your hands dirty (or bloody as the case may be.) I recently acted the lead in my friend’s short horror/romantic comedy genre-straddler The Courtship of Ronson Crumb and it ruined me emotionally and physically for hours at a time.

Guys, let me start off by saying that I do not claim to be an actor. I have never studied acting. I’m not even sure I know what “acting” is. For a long time I believed what an actor friend of mine told me: Acting is lying. To be a good actor you have to be a good liar. Well, it didn’t take long into the shoot for me to realize that this, like the Abominable Snowman before it, was horse feathers.

From my limited experience playing a delusional psychopath I have come to the conclusion that acting is not lying. Acting is far more similar to telling the truth.

The F is for Film website will go live on October 16th if all goes according to plan. I have not figured out which episodes will be completed and ready to go by that time but I would not launch without killer new content.  Rest assured this is a NEW SHOW in almost every respect.

After that I’ll begin filming on Ronson. Can’t wait to shoot at the shore in short sleeves in 50 below weather.
