Cliché incoming: I can remember still remember it like it was yesterday… With Yes, We’re Open completing its screening run at the 2012 Hawai’i International Film Festival I’m flooded with emotions that have arrived from the joyful realization that everything I’ve been doing has helped me move forward as an artist. I learned an important thing….

Finding Refuge
UPDATE** | 05/01/2013 – The movie is out! Watch Refuge on PBS. See more from FutureStates. Weeks after a fun audition in a swanky office space, I got the call. Booked a small role in a really neat gig. It’s called REFUGE. Here’s an excerpt from the casting call: “Refuge” is a FUTURESTATES Season…
Another day, another Crush
That’s the title of another short we shot this past weekend: CRUSH. It’s written by Richard Gali and we spent a little bit of time workshopping the dialogue. It’s another ambitious piece as it sits at a whooping ten pages! That’s exactly the page count for JUST LKE THAT. We approached this one more like…
Dig In Magazine Interview

Voices were scene.
March has been full of surprises that I knew were there. Wait, before you say, “That doesn’t even make sense!”, hear me out.

Five practical ways to get started as an Actor
So you’ve caught the acting bug. Whether you’re undeniably sure that you want to be under the hot lights or a curious closet thespian, one question will hover around you like flies on bullshit. And trust me, in this business, expect to wade in it and at times, be completely dunked. But if that doesn’t…
Butt end of 2011. The retrospect.
If you read my post about taking care of TO DO lists, then this entry is a validation of those practices. At the end of 2010, I looked back at the year and realized I had done so much with some of my actions yielding successes that can’t measured by tangible items, but the value…
I had three Quickies this past weekend…
Phew. Tiring stuff. And by Quickies, I mean, Square Marden‘s critically acclaimed (not really) series appropriately dubbed QUICKIES. They’re basically an extension of our whacky creative brains; More or less a series of random and irrelevant material that stems from the part our personalities that just needed to be made. So sure, they may not make any…
I’m Paul Miller.
(If you’re an antsy one, scroll to the bottom, the movie is down there. If not…read on!) Move over Spartacus, I’m Paul Miller. Okay, maybe I’m giving away too much of the plot of a short film I had an opportunity to be a part of last week. I’ve been wanting to work with the…
