It’s wild to think a shot like this might end up on the cutting room floor. How? Why? Well, it’s due to the abundance of riches mined by the cast and @luscroggs and @chansoultao @bernarderner . Save it for the feature I keep telling myself. We are still in post so if you’d like to contribute and help us get after it even more , please check out the link in my bio for Sima Studios. #inhalationfilm #fdny #mentalhealth

From stage to screen in a mere six days! Right on the heels of “Amadeus” closing, I had the supreme good fortune to work as a featured extra in the “The Sound it Makes,” a proof-of-concept for the motion picture “Inhalation.” Based on John Lavelle’s award-winning play of the aforementioned name, “The Sound it Makes” is a powerful exploration of the harrowing psychological turmoil that dwells deep within the men and women of the 1970s FDNY. From my groovy terracotta trousers to absorbing the incredible marvel of movie-making firsthand (such a village of talented artists and technical magicians!), I hope this is only the beginning of my foray into film acting, where it will thrive alongside my beloved career as a classical soprano (nothing will keep me from opera and the stage). My thanks to @misunderstoodwanderer and @feedyoufilms for gifting me this incredible opportunity. Follow @inhalationfilm and visit Seed and Spark TODAY to support their efforts to allow “The Sound it Makes” to blaze bright and set the screen on fire. #inhalationfilm #thesounditmakes #movie #behindthescenes #movieextra #periodfilm #filmset #actor #lightscameraaction #hollywood

Today in Los Angeles, a major piece of Hollywood history was discovered: a clip of “The Duelling Cavalier” starring the cast of "Amadeus" at the Pasadena Playhouse. So monumental is this discovery that the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television have already been in contact for archival purposes. Feast your eyes on this rare treasure once thought lost to time, and revel in the majesty of the golden age of Hollywood..."Amadeus" style. My thanks to my fabulous Cavalier costars: @juhbybee , @misunderstoodwanderer , @uhsingingfox , and @matthenerson . #singinintherain #mgm #oldhollywood #parody #musical #amadeus #pasadenaplayhouse #funnyreel #play #mgmmusical #lipsync

Our short film, The Sound it Makes, is a proof-of-concept for our feature film, Inhalation, an adaptation of John Lavelle’s award-winning play. This is a story about the men and women who run toward danger—and what happens when no one runs toward them.

“I’m the son of a firefighter. I wrote Inhalation because I saw what silence costs—in my father’s colleagues, in the funerals that never should have happened. What is our responsibility to heal the unseen wounds their sacrifice inflicts?” - John Lavelle To follow our Seed & Spark campaign, please click the link in bio and share with your community 🤍 #independentfilm #inhalationfilm #TheSoundItMakes #taxdeductible #supportindiefilm #firefighter

Logline: After a catastrophic injury to a member of his Engine Company, The Soul Patrol, Lieutenant Boot finds himself at the center of an investigation regarding the mental health of his probationary firefighter. What is revealed are wounds deeper than the flesh, and far more dangerous when left to fester. ‘The Sound It Makes’ is a @feedyoufilms proof for concept of the film ‘Inhalation’. Production begins early 2026 and our @seedandspark campaign launches in mid-January.

Tom Stoppard was one of the greatest influences on my artistic journey. Because of him, I got to play a great character and meet a great friend in @jwhittaker30 . Pirates could happen to anyone.

Tonight, we’ll be working our coin-flip magic— cast will be determined at showtime by an audience member, and it could be you! Tomorrow, we close with a final Cast B performance at 5PM, followed by Cast A at 8PM. Haven’t come yet and want to see both? We’re offering a Double Feature of both shows with a dinner break in between! Thank you to everyone who has come so far to support independent theatre in Los Angeles! The dance isn’t over until you’ve seen our brilliant final moments.

Incredibly proud of these shows produced by @wolfandsnakecollective and @season10stage and @iamatheatre . Directed by my ❤️s @celiamandela and @afrodite.supreme . I never thought I’d have two plays posted next to one another, it’s a dream come true thanks to @samdarlin @thenie_saxon @renmartinez.ok @bernarderner and Jonathan To. Sinner’s Laundry and TVBP were not escapism, far from it, the team knew the assignment and faced it head on. This is the final weekend to see Sinner’s Laundry, a play I wrote for my daughter nearly 10 years ago directed by @beccathewolff and AD @aalcheh Dramaturg @giovanniadams with performances by @cosauls @trickybear @sarahutterback and @the_annalamadrid . I am so glad it lives again. Go see it if you can. Only Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
