I got an audition yesterday for who I can't say, but it involved me working out. It was a mix of gym and swim and I gotta say I don't remember the last time I trained like this. My body is dead now (metaphor, not to be taken literally) but it felt great. Didn't expect to do something intense just to get a few things on video hahahaha. The takeaway is that anything you do (outside of school. Still waiting my moment to balance those chemical equations and use the Pythagoras formula), no matter what it is can be used for something in the future. Keep learning, keep applying, keep going!!

DIGGER. WOW, WOW, WOW! WHAT A FILM! I remember my mum saying when I was a kid, “When a film gets both brilliant and terrible reviews, I know I’m going to love it.” She would have been right about Digger. One of the most profoundly brilliant films I’ve seen in years. Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman, The Revenant) has made something fearless. I’ve always loved films that blend cinema and theatre, and this world seems to exist in the past, present and future at once. The writing and direction are extraordinary: absurd, hilarious, disturbing and deeply intelligent, without feeling the need to explain everything. Was that At its heart is an uncomfortable truth. We’ve been fucking up this planet for decades, yet we keep consuming, indulging in excess and carrying on as normal. Even those condemning the destruction enjoy the comforts contributing to it. Perhaps we’ve become so good at acknowledging the problem that we mistake it for doing something about it. The film holds a mirror up to us all. Tom Cruise and John Goodman. WOW! If they aren’t in the Oscar conversation, I don’t know what to say. Extraordinary performances. The opening music instantly reminded me of Jon Brion’s wonderfully eccentric score for Punch-Drunk Love. Different composer here, Cosmo Sheldrake, but a similarly chaotic, rhythmic energy. Coming from a production design background, I was blown away. Oscar winner Dennis Gassner, alongside Richard L. Johnson, has created an astonishing visual world that almost becomes a character in its own right. I felt as though I’d stepped into Roald Dahl’s wonderfully eccentric imagination, with a touch of Wes Anderson. Fantastical, absurd and disturbingly believable. And those final credits! The music disappears, leaving only the sounds of animals. I remained rooted to my seat. A film that uses absurdity to expose something deadly serious. I loved every mad, uncomfortable, visually spectacular minute. THIS IS WHY I LOVE CINEMA! ❤️ What is a film that profoundly affected you?

A huge shout out to @Eliza Leonard @Panos Kalomanas @Nanette Clarke who took on the challenge, buckled down and entered the World Monologue Games. And they’ve done it. They are all through to the Regional Finals in UK and EU. This is what happens when you stop thinking about whether you should do something and actually give it a go. Absolutely thrilled for you all. So well deserved. From all of us at The Actors Copilot, congratulations! 👏👏👏 I really hope we are not up against each other lol 😂

I was just thinking about how important it is to have a supportive network and being here for a while made me think, why don't we create a virtual event just to get to know each other and see where we're at, how can we collaborate, better support each other? In NYC I started going to some networking events and now I'm working on my own script. I know we've had great things happen with the calls with great guests. What could we start building?
